Tell us about your business!
We are a family chiropractic and massage office. This means many things. We are a family run, small business - not a chain. We consider our staff and patients to be part of our family. Also, we take care of members of the whole family, from infants to great-grandparents! We look at health from a wellness perspective, and focus on more than just pain and symptoms. While it is usually pain that brings people into our office, our goal is to help them see how chiropractic and massage have more to offer than just pain relief.
What makes your business unique?
In the chiropractic world, there are many types of offices. Some offices are only pain-based, and others focus only on sports injuries or auto accidents. We aim to serve families with wellness-based chiropractic care and massage. I am certified in the Webster technique, which is a pregnancy adjusting protocol, so I really enjoy taking care of pregnant patients. I am a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, so there is definitely a focus on taking care of kids. I am also a Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner (CCWP), which has given me a great deal of post-graduate studies on lifestyle wellness. One has to Eat Well, Move Well, Think Well, and have a properly functioning nervous system to be at optimal function. And, that is our goal: to help each person be at their best!
Tell us about your customer's experience that shows your service
We hope that patients feel warmly welcomed into our office. The goal is patient care, and that happens from the moment a patient steps into the office. Our consultation and examination procedures are thorough, and we take the time necessary to figure out the health challenges of each individual patient. We also take the time to explain what is going on in detail so that patients don't have to blindly do what the doctor says. Having all the information is important in helping make informed healthcare decisions. On a visit by visit basis, we try to incorporate health and wellness topics, stretches, and articles that will help each person to grow in their wellness journey.
Why did you open your business?
When I graduated chiropractic college, I knew that I wanted to serve people. I started as an associate doctor in Auburn, then in Seattle, prior to opening McCann Family Chiropractic. My wife is from Marysville, and we relocated there in 2005. It felt like we were in the right place - and that there was a need in the community for wellness-based chiropractic care. So, in 2006, we started from scratch, and have grown to serve thousands of patients in Snohomish County!
Introduce us to your staff!
We have a great team! We have 4 Chiropractic Assistants: Samantha, Erin, Stephanie and Payten. They each play a valuable role in the healthcare team. Samantha and Erin are patient coordination specialists - greeting people and making sure everyone goes where they are supposed to go (me included). Stephanie handles the insurance and billing side of things - the behind the scenes fun! Payten is our X-Ray Certified Exam Tech, and she does a great job uncovering what is going on with each patient clinically. We also have 4 massage therapists, Jamie, Trisha, Malee, and Erin (the same Erin!). They each have their own style of massage, but all are very gifted with healing hands. They each have the ability to provide a full range of massage extending from gentle relaxation massage to deep-tissue treatment massage. My wife, Monica, also plays a big role as our webmaster, marketing director, accountant (she's a CPA by trade), and all around cheerleader. She does a lot for the practice, but you won't typically see her at the office.
What other small businesses do you love?
We love supporting local small businesses. My wife delivered all three of our boys at Cascade Midwives Birth Center in Everett, so they are high on our list. Another birthing support service that we love is Serene Doulas, especially Serena O'Dwyer. Dr. Mike Cho of DDS Dental in Marysville has always provided excellent care. Chan Thai and Tres Hermanos are our office's go-to restaurants! A Cut To Dye For has excellent hair stylists - especially Stephanie! Jane Batt knows what she is doing regarding all things photography!
If you could be in the movie of your choice, what movie would you choose and what character would you play?
I think that I'd like to be Mr. Miyagi in the original Karate Kid!
Anything else you would like the readers to know?
Health and healing comes from within. It is a chiropractic tenet that "the power that made the body, heals the body." Chiropractic simply unlocks the healing potential that is inside of each of us. Stress (and life in general) gets in the way of the proper expression of health. My job is to remove the stored stress in the body, and then let the doctor within do the healing.
