While Dr. Skalski was completing his chiropractic education, he discovered a love for radiology, which pushed him on an alternate path as he found the challenge of advanced diagnostics enthralling.
Dr. Bedi's interest in the chiropractic profession came after he severely sprained his ankle playing basketball. "I visited a chiropractor who focused on musculoskeletal injuries. I received comprehensive care from this chiropractor and that is what sparked my interest in the profession!"
As a sports fan and former Palmer West Sports Council member, Dr. Luengas loves working with athletes and has provided care for Olympic athletes. He has served as director of chiropractic services during the International Sports events, including the 2011 Pan American Games, where he led 50 doctors of chiropractic from around the world, and the 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games in Veracruz, Mexico.
Dr. Gillard started off at Palmer West as an anatomy instructor in the cadaver labs and his position grew from there. Now, he's the lead instructor for spinal anatomy, embryology, dermatology, cardiovascular and pulmonary pathology, and gastrointestinal and urogenital pathology.
