My Story

I have been asked if I had a change of heart going from allopathic medicine (Pharmacy) to holistic health care (Chiropractic and Nutrition Response Testing). The answer is NO; it was a course correction, not a change of heart. I grew up with a Chiropractor as my primary care provider and went to him for everything from ear infections to growing pains and he always had a holistic natural answer without prescription medications. After graduating from Pharmacy College, I worked as a Licensed Pharmacist in nearly every venue from hospital to retail and lastly for a long term care pharmacy (nursing home pharmacy). The medications I dispensed typically treated the symptom not the source, often resulting in prescription dependence and unwanted side effects. Frequently I would counsel my pharmacy patients to see a Chiropractor for a holistic and natural solution to their problem.

Eventually, it became obvious that I needed to become "that" Chiropractor and I returned to college to earn my second Doctorate degree in Chiropractic. It was a perfect fit. I discovered Nutrition Response Testing while in school and it was a beautiful marriage of true health care - "Chiropractic and Nutrition". Now I help my patients regain their true health... No Drugs, No Surgery, No Kidding.
