Team Chiropractic

Just over a week ago the chiropractic assistants and doctors from our office attended Parker Seminars (affiliated with Parker University, Dallas, Texas) in Vancouver, B.C.  There were great continuing education classes with subjects including: pediatrics, heart rate variability, brain bits, posture and balance.  The sessions we found the most exciting however, were the ones that focused on team building and effectively communicating chiropractic.  As we met for meals and shared what we learned, our vision for helping the people of Medicine Hat and area intensified.  All the way from Vancouver to Medicine Hat we talked about how to improve our office and improve the benefits our patients receive from their visits to our office.

Our office is really a team effort.  Anyone who has been to our office and observed our chiropractic assistants at work, knows what a great team they are.  They are truly committed to seeing our patients get the best service possible.  From the very first phone call to routine office visits, they work dilligently to ensure that every patient is treated in a professional manner.  They understand the various needs patients have and work hard to see that those needs are met.

As chiropractors we work as a team also.  Patients can see any of the doctors they prefer.  If a particular chiropractor is unavailable at the time a patient wants, one of the other doctors will be pleased to help the patient.  During times when a doctor is on holidays, patient care can be uninterrupted as the remaining doctors eagerly step in to provide needed treatments.  Patient records are available so the patient receives the appropriate care.  As a team we also consult on difficult cases, so patients in our clinic can benefit from the combined wisdom of five doctors. 

Not only are the assistants a team and the doctors a team but together we form an even bigger team.  Our aim to provide the best possible chiropractic care to the people of our community and surrounding area.  Our patients deserve the best and our team endeavors to give them the best we have.  During our time away we learned some great things which will help us to help our patients better.

I count it a privilege to part of such a great team.
