Growing up in Former Yugoslavia I was not exposed to Chiropractic. In fact, my father is a Surgeon and I was more or less expected to do the same. But surgery did not appeal to me. I remember my dad taking me as a young kid to visit some of his patients in the intensive care. It was a depressing scene. It seemed that by the time most of the patients came to my dad for help it was too late to save them. Later on I realized that my dad felt many times his efforts were in vain – the surgery may have been considered successful by medical standards, however patient very often ended up dying anyway. I moved to United States at the age of 21. While at undergraduate studies at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, I met my dear friend John Jungers. While playing a round of table tennis I asked him what kind of Graduate School does he plan to attend. Without hesitation his reply was he wanted to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. It turns out at a very young age my friend John had some severe health problems related to his spine. His parents took him to a Chiropractor who helped him. Ever since then he wanted to become one, too. This made a powerful impression on me. All my life I knew I wanted to be in Healthcare and help people. So I went out and visited several Chiropractors in my area. I was overwhelmed – these doctors were warm, welcoming, and very caring about their patients. So much so, in fact, that they only wanted to treat their patients naturally. So I decided to start my own journey to better understand true health. It’s been a difficult path but also a very rewarding one. Chiropractic Education I choose to attend Life University, College of Chiropractic. I read about all and also visited three Chiropractic Colleges and finally decided on Life. I thought it had best to offer in terms of both theory and practice of Chiropractic. I graduated with honors, but the real school was during my part-time job while studying with Dr. Alan Anderson at Savannah Hills Chiropractic. He really taught me to overcome the fear which every new doctor has, the power to help someone achieve health is a big responsibility. My philosophy is simple: to help as many people as I can achieve health through Chiropractic, because Chiropractic is Safe, Natural, Gentle and produces long-lasting results.
