We are proud to have Barry H. Schiff, M.D. serve as our Program's Medical Director. Dr. Schiff is a physician leader who has practiced both Cardiology and Internal Medicine in our community for nearly 25 years. Recently, Dr. Schiff was voted by his peers as one of the area's 2009 "SuperDoctors" - a Cardiologist other physicians would choose to use.

Dr. Schiff has served as both Chief of Staff and Chairman of the Department of Medicine for Memorial Hospital Pembroke. Dr. Schiff received his medical degree at SUNY at Buffalo School of Medicine in 1980 and subsequently completed his Internship and Residency at Hartford Hospital in Connecticut. Dr. Schiff completed his cardiology fellowship training at University of Miami / Jackson Memorial Hospital in 1985. Since completing his fellowship, he was elected as a Fellow in the American College of Cardiology. He also served as Co-director of the Cardiac Cath Lab at Memorial Hospital Pembroke.

Dr. Schiff's interest in weight management evolved from observing his patents' personal struggles with chronic dieting as well as his involvement with his patients' attempts to overcome health issues that are a direct consequence of being overweight.
