A POWERFUL EDUCATION produces a disciplined and questioning mind.

PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS means you are being treated by a leader in the field. “I enjoy belonging to professional societies such as these listed below.

OTHER AREAS OF INTEREST allow him to help people even outside his office. “Many more people need advice and care than I can help in my office. I have lectured on back and neck care and sports injuries to a number of civic groups in the Corvallis area.”

“When you are injured and in pain, two things are important to you; getting care that ends the pain and gives you relief that lasts. That is why my staff and I believe in taking plenty of time to get to know you and your needs. It is why we use the latest testing to find out what is wrong. Finally, we use my training and personal care to give you the pain relief you deserve.”
