Today we’d like to introduce you to Andrea Smith, D.C.
Hi Andrea, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I worked as an associated doctor for a few years and transitioned into secondary education. When not in the classroom, I continued to practice as a coverage doctor during holidays and summer months. In the middle of the pandemic, I decided it was time to start my own practice. I mean, “Why not?” I was nervous and excited all at the same time. Today, my practice has been open for almost two years. In conjunction with running my practice, I teach health science at a local high school.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
It has not all been easy but rewarding. I started off as a one-woman show, the receptionist, the biller, the office manager you name it, I did it all. At the beginning, my patient load was light, but as my load increased, I realized I needed help and couldn’t run a business alone. I had to learn how to let go and delegate duties to someone else.
We’ve been impressed with The Art of Healing Chiropractic Clinic, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We are in the Greenspoint area. What sets us apart is that we are in network with most major medical insurance companies. This is an important factor for patients when looking for chiropractic care. Patients want to use their insurance and I am glad that we can support their wellness needs.
We offer massage therapy in conjunction with chiropractic treatment. I am certified in Kinesio Taping and the Graston Technique. Outside of chiropractic services, CPR/First Aid Courses are offered as well as Covid testing.
If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
I was an active kid and still active. I learned how to (snow) ski at about five years old. Every summer, my brother and I went to summer camp. I was in the marching band throughout high school. I was a member of HOSA, the National Honor Society and the Rounders, a spirit group. I am mild-mannered with positive vibes only.
