| Jamie Pelkey – Office Manager & CA
Jamie grew up in Plattsburgh, NY (small city located in the upper corner of New York. Borders Vermont and is about 20 minutes south of Canada) My daughter and I moved to Rochester in April 2009. January 2011 I gave birth to a wonderful baby boy whom completes my life. I fell in love with Chiropractic when my daughter was 6 months old. It not only cured her acid reflux but helped her sleep through the night. My son has been adjusted several times since he was born as well. He was actually less than a day old when he had his first Chiropractic Adjustment! My favorite thing about our office is the environment we provide our patients. We not only love chiropractic but we love how much it helps our patients. In her spare time, Jamie enjoys spending time with my family, shopping, fishing, camping, traveling and most of all laughing! If you are searching for a chiropractor that truly cares about you search no more! Dr. Bill really takes the time to know each and every one of his patients. |
