My father was a strong influence in my life. I watched him help people and I decided to use this method to help others as well. It was really interesting growing up in a family with a father as a chiropractor. If I had a headache, neck pain, or back pain, he would just fix it for me. I thought all fathers had this gift until I became older and realized that my dad had special talents. Helping people with your hands is extremely gratifying. Plus, most of my patients feel better when they leave the office. It is one of the few healthcare disciplines where you can start feeling better the first day.

When I was young, my uncle was a chiropractor who gave my family and me excellent chiropractic treatment. It helped my neck and low back problems and headaches and I became an advocate for chiropractic care. Today, I love helping patients with a variety of musculoskeletal and organic complaints using chiropractic manipulative treatments. I am caring, compassionate, and thorough. My hope is to reduce your pain and dysfunction as quickly as possible, teach you how to avoid future problems, and help you enjoy your life without the limitations caused by pain.

I experienced low back pain following years of physical labor and was quickly helped by Dr. Cole's father. He addressed my complaint without medications and without me missing much work. I was so intrigued that I became a chiropractor myself. I enjoy now being able to do the same thing for others. I like to get to know my patients beyond their pain complaints. Their work and family lives are often contributing factors to their discomfort. I hope to give them quick pain relief and teach them how to avoid future problems. Helping patients feel better is a team effort between the patient and myself.

I was intrigued by the opportunity to provide relief to people in pain and success to those with a difficult athletic performance problem. Specializing in manual medicine allowed me to follow a patient's care from initial diagnosis to resolution. Each patient and I partner to quickly and sustainably achieve mutually defined therapy goals. I hope to give each patient the knowledge and skills to overcome their pain problem and regain as much function as possible. Every patient deserves an expert diagnosis and world-class, customized treatment. Not satisfied with blanket diagnoses and one-size-fits-all treatment recommendations, I persistently look for the most targeted, effective treatment for an individual's specific needs.
