Healthcare

Affiliated Dermatologists

From expert skin cancer checks to the treatment of acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin conditions, the dermatologists at Affiliated Dermatologists provide trusted medical care for the whole family. At the practice’s Skin and Laser Center, patients also have access to the most advanced cosmetic and laser treatments on the market. 

Czaplicki Family Dentistry 

Technology makes dental work straightforward and effective at Czaplicki Family Dentistry. Specialized tools allow for same-day crowns; laser dentistry helps treat gum disease; and the experienced dentists specialize in procedures from complex restorative dental treatment to eye-catching veneers to general dentistry. Veneers offer a natural look, boosting confidence and restoring proper function to help patients avoid cavities and breakdown in the future. 

Eye Care Specialists 

Your eyes change – sometimes drastically – with time. Aging, hormones, medications and certain health conditions can all affect your vision, which is why regular eye care is crucial to catch issues early. Eye Care Specialists has provided comprehensive medical and surgical eye care to Southeastern Wisconsin since 1985. The ophthalmologists and optometrists diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, helping women protect their vision and maintain healthy eyes through every stage of life.


Sound Healing

What if the path to feeling your best could be found through sound? Sound Therapy is a wellness practice that uses tones, frequencies and physical vibrations to promote relaxation, reduce stress and support well-being. At Adagio Sound Healing, Bernard Runo uses several instruments to achieve this, including frame drums, gongs, chimes and tuning forks. He also offers massages, which can include vibrational therapy, placing instruments directly on the body for a “sonic massage.” The name Adagio comes from Runo’s background as a classically trained musician, and he incorporates string instruments like violin and cello in his sound therapies as well. 


Orthopaedic Associates of Wisconsin  

The specialized therapists at Orthopaedic Associates of Wisconsin provide care for pelvic floor concerns, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, pelvic pain, urinary or bowel leakage, pelvic organ prolapse, and ongoing hip or low back discomfort. Treatment is personalized to each patient and may include strengthening, manual therapy, posture and movement education, and other techniques to improve comfort and function. 

Spas, Salons, Beauty and Wellness

Civilian Beauty

There’s a different energy at Civilian. Maybe it’s the talented team, the extra time built into appointments, or simply the feeling that nobody is trying to rush you out the door. Everything from hair and scalp treatments to nails, makeup and grooming is thoughtful, skilled and personal. For example, an intuitive consultation with a hair-care professional can completely reshape your relationship with your locks. The restorative dry pedicure transforms a routine service into two hours of meticulous care and foot therapy. Civilian is gratuity-free, a little unconventional and always working to make beauty feel better. 

Mason Street Lymphatic and Therapeutic Massage

Dealing with daily stress can lead to chronic inflammation. That inflammation can, in turn, cause pain and weight management issues, fatigue and more. At Mason Street Lymphatic, May Schmitz and her team help clients reclaim their health through lymphatic drainage massage. This approach moves excess liquid toward the lymph nodes, helping flush the system and restore immune function and mental clarity, as well as increase energy. Schmitz is dedicated to helping each of her clients find lasting results so they can embrace a life of wellness and freedom. 

WELL Spa + Salon

As the seasons shift, make space to slow down, reset and reconnect with yourself at WELL Spa + Salon. Located in Downtown Milwaukee’s Pfister Hotel, WELL offers a tranquil escape from the pace of the city, with restorative spa treatments, signature skin rituals, salon services and peaceful couples experiences. Whether you’re refreshing your routine or simply taking time to recharge, every visit is designed to leave you feeling renewed, radiant and ready for the season ahead.

Fitness and Weight Loss

Revival Fitness

Revival’s Brookfield club brings a luxury feel on every level. Upstairs, members can take on a boxing and kickboxing circuit, join a variety of fitness classes, and train with high-end Keiser resistance and cardio equipment. Downstairs, The Well offers private suites for infrared sauna, red light therapy and cold plunge, plus yoga, Pilates and barre classes focused on mobility and recovery. “Revival has the atmosphere and personal attention of a boutique fitness club, with the resources of a much larger training facility,” says member Katie S. “You feel like someone they’re genuinely happy to see and invested in helping.” 

Revitalize Physical Therapy

Women’s health issues are often treated in isolation – Revitalize Physical Therapy wants to change that. In a recent survey, Revitalize, which offers pelvic floor and women’s health therapy, found that 85.1% of the women they polled said that they felt their issues were connected but no one helped them understand how. And 80.9% of them said they had received conflicting advice from different healthcare providers. Revitalize is launching a new care model this fall, connecting the dots for women and providing whole-body healthcare solutions. 

VIVA Wellness

For many, weight loss can be one of the most challenging parts of a wellness journey. At VIVA Wellness, nurse practitioners provide individualized medical weight loss care designed around each patient. Beyond weight loss, VIVA offers functional medicine with a nurse practitioner specializing in digestive health, along with nurse-provided wellness services including lymphatic drainage, colon hydrotherapy and IV therapy. Together, VIVA’s medical and wellness services provide a comprehensive approach to helping patients feel their best. 

Wellness in Retirement

Saint John’s On The Lake

Just off Lake Michigan on Milwaukee’s East Side, Saint John’s On The Lake has been serving older adults since 1868. From independent living to memory support and assisted living, the community offers a wide variety of wellness options to residents, some of which are developed by the residents themselves – from lectures and fitness groups to theater excursions and culinary classes.


Eating Well

As the city’s only cooperatively owned grocery store, Outpost offers everything you need to stock your kitchen, from organic produce and everyday groceries to natural and organic supplements. You’ll also find made-to-order juices, smoothies and Grab & Go options at the in-store cafes.
