I'd like to thank you for choosing our office, Port City Chiropractic, P.C. for your health care needs. I'd like you to know a little bit about me as I feel it is essential to building a strong doctor-patient relationship. I am originally from Oswego and attended St. Paul's Academy (currently Trinity Catholic) and Bishop Cunningham High School. I then completed my pre-chiropractic education at Keystone College in Pennsylvania.
I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Palmer was the very first Chiropractic College and is highly esteemed as the leader in Chiropractic education. I graduated from Palmer College in 1988 after obtaining my Doctor of Chiropractic degree and established Port City Chiropractic, P.C. immediately afterwards. Our practice has continued to grow over the years as we have provided natural health care to the Oswego and surrounding communities.
In addition to private practice, I am also a Clinical Instructor for Activator Methods International, Ltd. and I teach instrument adjusting procedures (The Activator Method) to Doctors of Chiropractic and Chiropractic students.

In many cases it can be a confirmation of both.
