PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
As a graduate of Chiropractic medicine with clinical experience in the hospital setting and outpatient. I grew fond of helping people to get better and to feel good about their well-being. It was humbling experience to be able to speak with patients with chief complaints and do physical examinations on these patients and in return diagnose and treat these patients with informed consent of what the chiropractic procedures entails.
