Chiropractic

Passion

Chiropractic involves locating lesions (subluxations) in the nervous system that interfere with our ability to heal. For the past 26 years it has been my passion to learn as much as I can about chiropractic theory and practice. I do not believe in the "pop n, pray" method of chiropractic! On each visit I objectively locate, confirm and correct these faults in your nervous system.

Private Practice, The Fix, Rockledge, Florida (Present) After a few years of working in other doctors offices it strikes me that it is time to go out on my own again. So I got up with John Adams at “The Fix” and got him to rent me some space. I enjoyed the freedom of being in charge, using my own specialized equipment and assuming a “servant’s attitude” in dealing with people. Coverage Doctor with MMA Services (800 501-6111) and All Care Consultants (954 748-2800) 2013 to 2017 I am working as a “coverage doctor” in the East Central Florida region I am placed in various positions where temporary coverage of a doctors office is needed as treating doctor, directing staff, maintaining records through EMRs, as well as the various duties required to keep a practice running. some of the practices I have been placed with are: Alliance Chiropractic GroupINC 2356 West Oak Ridge Road Orlando, FL 32809 (407) 857-7223 (September 2013-January 2014); Pleasant Hill Family Chiropractic {407} 931-1492 (January 2014 - October 2014); USA Rehab & Chiropractic Center 6900 Silver Star Rd Orlando, FL (407) 704-8766; International Chiropractic & Rehab 5690 Windhover Dr. Orlando, FL (407) 601-6991; Top Care Chiropractic Center 4670 Orange Blossom Trail Orlando, FL (407) 851-9910. Private Practice Louisville, KY (1997 - 2012) When I bought this practice it was old and outdated. I refurbished the building adding new equipment and updated patient care protocols. While I continued to work with with Diversified technique I became one of the very few doctors in Louisville to gain an advanced proficiency rating in activator technique. I also worked with Sacro-occipital technique, flexion - distraction and craniosacral techniques. I worked closely with the various insurance providers in Louisville and used state of the art software and instituted collection procedures so that my office’s collections, based on non-PI collections, rarely went past due. I also regularly got performance bonuses from the local (HMO type) Medicaid provider. At the time I assumed this practice from the former doctor we had about 95% of the patients using insurance with almost none remaining under maintenance care. At the time I sold most of my operation in 2010 there was a 40% cash pay patient base with most of them being under maintenance care. In 2010 I sold my building with most of its equipment. I moved to a small office and experimented with a cash only practice until October of 2012. At that time my wife and I decided that due to her health we should move out of the Louisville area. Because she had family in Brevard county I sold my practice and moved here with her. Chamber’s Medical Group Louisville, KY (2007 - 2012) Along with working in my private practice I was working in this multi - disciplinary setting. I worked as a chiropractor assessing and treating patients suffering from personal injury either as a result of motor vehicle accidents, on the job injuries or “slip and fall” types of injuries. While there I regularly consulted with their medical doctor and orthopedist. I developed and implemented rehabilitation protocols and directed staff in patient care. As with my private practice I left to come to Florida. Staff doctor Kentuckiana Children’s Center, Louisville, KY (1995 - 1997) KCC was founded in 1956 to give care to special needs children primarily through chiropractic care, but they had also provided other services including dentists, optometrists and mental health professionals. An accredited school for special needs children was also attached. When I arrived only chiropractic care (along with nutrition) and the school were operating. Joan Partridge, DC was the acting director who hired me. She had asked me to begin taking on as much responsibility as I could along with my primary duties of assessing and treating children assigned to me to get KCC back to where it had been. While at KCC I recruited Timothy Dougherty, DMD to assess the dental health needs (including orthodontics) of the children. I also worked closely with James Christiansen, PhD of National College to establish a thermography unit within the Center. I was enrolled in a pediatric diplomate course through the ICA and would consult with doctors, parents and other health professionals regarding care of children. I established a nutritional protocol based on Dr Partridge’s already established assessments. After Dr Partridge’s death the center lost its direction. I, along with Tracy Barnes, DC the other staff doctor, attempted to interest the board of directors in rebuilding the center but the board disagreed. I had had a nearby doctor contact me about the sale of his practice. (He was retiring) so I left KCC and took over his practice. Associated with Anthony Amato, DC Totowa, NJ (1994 -1995) While there I was independent in processing new patients, developing treatment plans and taking and reading x-rays. I was also responsible for the day to day treatment of existing
