PATRICIA BARRY: Office Manager

After my husband retired from the police department, we relocated from upstate New York in April 2003. Shortly after arriving, my husband wasn’t feeling well, and we came to this doctor’s office where I was observing the staff, and thinking I missed my office job up north. Shortly afterwards, my husband recovered and I got a job! This year will make 8 years that I have been working with Dr. Mishner.

I had worked in this type of profession for about 18 years in New York, and vowed to try something different when I came here. We see how that worked out! I love working with the patients and a staff that works as a team for the good of the patients.

I have 7 grandchildren, 5 boys and 2 girls, and amazing son and daughter-in-law. They live in St. Louis, and we are able to visit them several times a year.

Although my interests include photography, architecture and enjoying time with friends, my favorite hobby is planning my next trip to see my family in St. Louis!

LAWRENCE METCALFE: Exercise Therapist, Certified Power Plate Trainer

Lawrence Metcalfe joins the Kaizen Total Wellness Team as an Exercise Therapist.  Lawrence works with our patients and clients of all ages in our gym using the Power Plate and bioDensity equipment.   In addition to being a Certified Personal Trainer, Lawrence has an extensive background in health and fitness including being certifed as a Certified Nursing Assistant and working for several years as a Licensed Massage Therapist.  He loves to work with people on an individual basis at Kaizen but also teaches groups of young gymnastic students and coaches tennis and track for the Special Olympics.  In the past he has taught TRX, Judo, Akido and spinning classes. He lives with his wife and three children in Sarasota, and is originally from Michigan.  One of the reasons he chose the health profession over his education in computer science was to stay in Sarasota. His enthusiam for healthy lifestyle is as contagious as his favorite saying: "Everyone deserves to be healthy."   When working in computer systems adminstration for a large hospital, Lawrence noted that the nurses and staff were so focused on caring for others and meeting the demands of a stressful job they neglected their own health.  From not eating right and not exercising they were almost all obese or had a low level of fitness.  Since the company did not provide any employee wellness programs at the time, Lawrence asked if he could provide group fitness classes after work on a volunteer basis. This went over very well since the employees knew he was really there to help them feel stronger and healthier and it led to the company implementing more programs to promote employee wellness. Lawrence has also helped a number of smokers get healthier as he has been trained as a Tobacco Treatment Specialist.  Our patients can ask Lawrence about skin health too... he is a trained esthetician.  We are very proud to have a Total Wellness guy like Lawrence Metcalfe on our Total Wellness Team.
