DR. MICHAEL NGUYEN – CHIROPRACTOR

Dr. Nguyen has always had a passion for physical wellness and exercise. He attended Oregon State University and went on to receive his doctorate at the University of Western States. Outside of the office, Dr. Michael is an avid fly fisherman. When he’s not on the river chasing fish, he explores the Portland food scene and stays active.

To pursue a path of chiropractic is no surprise to those closest to him. Dr. Nguyen grew up very active, often participating in sports and outdoor activities in his hometown of Beaverton, Oregon.

When Dr. Nguyen was 20, he was involved in a tragic car accident that resulted in constant and debilitating back pain. The sports and daily activities that he once engaged in became unbearable. When a friend referred him to a chiropractor, he was able to find tremendous, life-changing relief. From that moment forward, it was clear that chiropractic was the path for him to pursue.

Dr. Nguyen knows how debilitating and frustrating lower back pain and other injuries can be. His care policy is to always put the patient’s goals first. He believes, and knows from personal and professional experience, that there is always room to improve your quality of life

DR. ROBIN PALMER-NICKS - CHIROPRACTOR

Hello! I’m Robin Palmer-Nicks DC. Since I was small, I wanted to do something that helped people medically. I first worked as a chiropractic assistant and fell in love with chiropractic care and saw on a daily basis how it improved people’s lives. I graduated from University of Western States with my DC degree in 2018.

On my days off I spend it with family doing all sorts of activities from hiking to camping to kayaking to backyard BBQ’s. I also like taking my pup Annie Oakley to the dog park. During non Covid times, we love going and trying new restaurants especially for brunch!

ANNA – RECEPTIONIST / CHIROPRACTIC ASSISTANT / BILLING SPECIALIST

Anna is the rockstar of the clinic! From bouncing around with insurance phone calls, insurance billing, following up with patients, helping patients understand their insurance, all with a smile on her face. She also keeps the clinic groovin’ with great tunes.

Outside of the office, Anna is looking for a new pizza place to try, a different movie to watch, strange books to inquire about, or getting messy with paints. She enjoys long drives into the countryside and napping on the sand by the ocean.

SAVANNA – LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST

A Bay Area native, Savanna’s journey to become a massage therapist began while she was recovering from a car accident. She came to realize how fulfilling the medical field can be, which fueled her desire and passion to help others. Savanna attended the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville, CA, where she graduated from the Massage Therapy Program in May 2015. Having worked in a variety of massage settings from relaxation to rehabilitation, her passion is in helping others find relief from the pain and the stress of everyday life – both of which she is all too familiar with. Her massage style is a blend of different styles: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Myofascial Release, Acupressure, and occasionally energy work.

This combination of techniques allow her to provide a relaxing, yet therapeutic session for her patients. When she is not working or studying, Savanna can usually be found hanging out with her family and four-legged furry friends. Her hobbies and interests include setting future travel goals, hiking, kayaking, wine and cheese tasting, photography, and anything else that piques her interest at any given time.
