As a chiropractor who testifies in court in med-legal cases, and is contracted with major insurance companies, my professional background is routinely and thoroughly reviewed. Patients and attorneys prefer to use doctors they use have an excellent 5-star reputation with years of experience. In addition, I am licensed and in good standing with the California State Board of Chiropractic Examiners.
But don’t take my word for it. Be sure to do your own research and find out why so many people seek out my services for their chiropractic needs. I’ve included my curriculum vitae for your review. If you have any questions before using my office, feel free to email me or give me a call.
