Dr. Todd
What inspired you to become a chiropractor?
I had a near death injury in college and was discouraged with the typical medical route. A chiropractor was the first medical professional to listen to me and actually help me. I immediately knew I wanted to become a chiropractor.
Where did you complete your education and training?
I completed chiropractic college at Palmer, Florida because there was more sunshine and beach than South Dakota where I grew up.
What is your favorite part working at Ethos?
My favorite part is the relationships we have with all of our patients.
What do you enjoy most about our patients?
I appreciate how much progress our patients make in their health. It shows how much they care about their health and what a great clinic and team we have here at Ethos.
