STATN ISLAND, N.Y. -- As a Manhattan-based attorney, Chris Cardillo has overseen his share of medical management over the years.

Paperwork involved with being a doctor is so overwhelming these days, he said, noting that many physicians turn to attorneys to help manage their practices.

So with a wide knowledge of the medical industry, he sought to open a business that would house different physicians, as well as spa services, in a medical spa setting under one roof.

The result is NVY Center, a medical management company that opened in Richmond Valley more than one year ago.

I became very interested in the concept because I think its the wave of the future, said Cardillo, who has several partners in the business. Almost every medical office has a medical manager. ...When you go to a hospital, like New York University Medical Center, the hospital does all the management for doctors with affiliated practices. What hospitals do for their doctors, we do on a private level.

MEDICAL, SPA SERVICES UNDER ONE ROOF

NVY Center rents a clean, white expansive space to various medical professionals, and aestheticians, who provide spa services.

We are hoping to be a national brand. What we do is solicit doctors to lease space for us and we manage them. That means when a doctor comes in here the only thing the doctor has to worry about is taking care of the patient, said Cardillo. We take care of the billing. They dont have to do any of the paperwork. Everything they need to do their job is here for them already.

MEDICAL SPA SERVICES

Under the NVY Center roof are also an array of medical spa services, from stem cell therapy and IV drips, to facials and aesthetic injections.

Included in the facilitys design are individual medical offices, rooms where different procedures, such as facials, can take place, and an IV drip chair area. And the facility always has a medical professional on the premises, said Cardillo.

We do everything from anti-hangover to anti-flu drip. ... Soon, well be able to come to your house and do an IV drip, explained Cardillo. We want this to be a one-stop-shop for modern services."

He noted the IV drips often include vitamins and are used for various purposes, including by those people who desire to lose weight.

We have fast-drips that are 15 minutes long, where we can fill you with fluids if youre not feeling good, said Cardillo. Depending on what were trying to treat, we will mix vitamins and other medicines into the IV drip. But the fluid helps no matter what.

He said the company also hosts IV drip and Botox parties.

Other services include Trusculpting," a fat reduction procedure to lose weight, and laser hair removal, said Cardillo.
