To deliver honest, ethical and superior chiropractic care and nutrition services at a fair price to our community. Our ideal patient is able to think outside the box…just a little….and see the great common sense benefits of getting adjusted on a regular basis. Those patients who come in with an open mind and a willingness to learn and to get well will do just that!
I established my practice in 1997 as I am a native of Fort Wayne and wanted to raise my family here. Fort Wayne is a great place to live and practice. We are a Family Chiropractic Practice and it is the most rewarding for me….being able to treat the whole family with both chiropractic as well as Standard Process nutrition and seeing the results that I can achieve is the biggest reward of all!
My vision for the health of the Fort Wayne community is to see the my fellow citizens use common sense in their health care choices and not rely on the medical model exclusively. When they are sick, most people go into fear mode and run to the MD first….sometimes that is the right choice but too often it is not. I always tell patients, know in advance what your doctor is going to recommend before you go into the office. Most people understand that the medical doctor recommends drugs or surgery….”is this what you want, Mr. Patient?” If not, pick a doctor that can give you want you want. Chiropractors offer very effective options to drugs and surgery and their inherent side effects.
After receiving my bachelors degree from Purdue University, I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic…the Fountainhead of Chiropractic which is where chiropractic all started over 110 years ago. As most of us do, I started school with one set of ideas and graduated a much more humble person knowing I now had a real gift to share with my patients. Palmer taught me about chiropractic’s simple philosophy of restoring the body’s nerve supply and letting the body do what it does best…heal itself.
After 13 years of practice, I do know one thing. You never know what the day has in store for you. I bring every new patient into my office with a clean slate and between the two of us, we talk and consult about what that patient would like to achieve by being my patient. After a thorough examination, computerized scan of their nervous systems and X-rays (only taken if necessary), I have the information I need to treat my patients and help them get out of pain and restore their health. Quickly!
I believe moderation and balance are very important to maintain your health. I get adjusted regularly as I have been doing since I was a kid. Although I have a sweet tooth like many of you, I always offset it with a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables (fresh and organic is best!), whole grains and meats. I fill in the blanks with some excellent whole food vitamin supplements from Standard Process.
Olivia, my 5 year old daughter, is the apple of my eye. Early on, my wife and I decided not to immunize our child due to the many unreported complications due to the incredible number of shots that kids get before they are even 2 years old. By using common sense, chiropractic (yep, it works for kids too!), a great diet and almost 18 months of breast feeding, we now have one of the healthiest kids on the block. Do we as a family ever use medical doctors? Yes…but rarely, as our current regiment of healthcare works so well.
I didn’t experience a miracle myself, but I’ve seen them…
We all go through it….”What do I want to be when I grow up?” For me, it was about making a difference in people’s lives. How better to do that than help them get their health back. Chiropractic was a way of life for me as I grew up and I knew others could get great results from it, too!
My wife and I are both natives of Fort Wayne. We grew up near each other and even vacationed at the same lake for 20 years. But we never met until an out of town relative introduced us over the 4th of July. How is that for fate! We’ve been married since 2004 and have a beautiful daughter, Olivia. Family time is important in our house and we love talking bike rides, or walking Daisy the dog at the park. Traveling to the lake and beyond is a big priority for us and we have been blessed with some wonderful travel opportunities. And, when my wife needs some alone time, she sends me off to my woodworking shop in the basement where I can get lost for hours working on my projects.
