Get to Know Dr. Corey:

I Chose to be a Chiropractor Because:

After spending ten years working in the hospital environment, I felt that there had to be a better way to treat and heal the body, other than the conventional approach of health care .....  That (better) way was Chiropractic.

What  I find most rewarding about working with Chiropractic patients is:

The best thing about working with my patients is seeing their health improve through Chiropractic Care. It's a very rewarding experience to watch my patients feel relief from chronic pain and/or lingering ailments without having to use pharmaceuticals or endure surgery.

If I weren’t a Chiropractor,  I would be:

My favorite past-time or hobby is:

Any activity that revolves around woods & water. I have hiked, hunted, camped and boated since I was child. I have "tromped around in the woods" scouting & hunting almost my entire life and am now showing my son "the ropes".  When traveling on vacations, there is always some sort of hiking and water activity (boating, swimming, snorkeling or water skiing) planned .... I have been water skiing since age 9! Over the years, I have enjoyed teaching many people how to ski, including helping my 65 year old Uncle "barefoot" for the first time! My wife and I love boating so much that our wedding gift to one another was our first ski boat!

My favorite procedure to use for Patient Care is:

..... actually Acupuncture. Treating patients with Acupuncture can help as an adjunct treatment for almost any musculoskeletal issue. It can also be a primary treatment for many organic problems as well as allergy elimination. It is truly an all-inclusive treatment. While spinal manipulation and physical therapy are most of what I do in a day, Acupuncture is a wonderful tool in the arsenal to health & well being.

To me, being a Doctor of Chiropractic means that:

I can serve as an advocate for my patients' overall health & wellness. Too often in healthcare, physicians take a pre-determined course of action to Patient Care. Patients often feel as though they are not consulted with, or listened to, regarding their healthcare. I feel Chiropractic allows me to get to the source of a patient's health issues, subsequently treating the cause  - rather than merely managing symptoms with pharmaceuticals or simply removing the pathologic structure through surgery without giving the patient a chance to heal themselves properly.

The training I feel most  helps my patients is:

... actually my undergraduate training as an Adult Education Specialist. The knowledge and skills required to obtain the Doctor of Chiropractic degree and license are a given; you cannot receive these credentials if you are not proficient. However additional education such as my Teaching Degree helps me to be a better Doctor through the ability to educate my patients as to what the diagnosis is, why the health issue has occurred and what will be done as we navigate together through the acute, rehabilitation & continued wellness phases of their Care.
