  • Thankful

Dear Friends,
As Thanksgiving approaches my heart is filled with gratitude. The ability to serve this community for nearly 29 years and, as of December 14th, practicing chiropractic care for 30 years, has been such a blessing. I’m thankful that my health has stood the test of time which takes effort and determination to stay fully capable but we practice what we preach and it works.  

None of our service to you happens alone. I have been blessed with a remarkable staff who are smart, hardworking, quick-witted, compassionate, and extremely loyal.  

As time passes, so comes change. That change presents with a staff that will be transitioning into retirement.

Karen has been here from the start 29 years ago and Vicki has been with us for the last 25 years. Both these ladies are our formula for long term success and thankfully will remain part time.

Lynn, 20 years, will be slowly cutting back until retiring this spring. Meek but mighty, she does it all and will be missed!

Julie, 10 years, is joining her husband in retirement and grandma duties. She has been a rock star receptionist.

Erin, 14 years, has become overwhelmed with the success of her interior design business Clover + Oak Design, and has been renovating a beautiful venue Foundry 45.

Aaryn, 4 years, is pregnant and is going to be a full time mother and nutritional consultant. 

Bernadette, 20 years remains our Tuesday and Friday receptionist to meet you with her gentle smile.

Josie, 4 years, is the Wednesday receptionist and the incredible editor of what you read every week!

Carley, 1 year, is my witty chiropractic assistant and massage therapist.  

Jessica, 1 year, is involved in Medicare and insurance billing and is a wonderful addition. 

Kristie, comes over from being a yoga instructor and will be Lynn’s replacement meaning “a Jack of all trades”!

Jen, comes over from teaching and will be taking over Julie’s roles as well as various others.

It is impossible to verbalize our gratitude to all of these incredible women. First to those that are leaving: you all have made this not work but a calling, filled with the joy and satisfaction of healing people. You are family and I love you all.   

Second to our new wave: we are so grateful you have chosen to work with us to help serve our patients needs. You are extremely talented, energetic, and caring. I am so excited to continue into my next 30 years of practice with you all.

I have heard it said that a man is only as good as the woman standing beside him. Well, I must be a hell of a guy because I am blessed to have these wonderful souls around me!

Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for being with us, 
 

Dr. Dan 

Testimonial

Kurt Bassuener, President of MWS Associates, Inc.

MWS Associates has leased office space in the Business Center since the inception of our company in 2018 and from 2015-2018 with the previous company that I worked for.  The Business Center was the clear choice for us to locate our main office for several reasons: location, cost effectiveness, reliable high-speed internet, services offered and full access to the conference room.  It truly offers everything our company needs to headquarter our business from without the hassle of owning our own office building with the maintenance, yard care and snowplowing that goes along with ownership.  

A major benefit for us is the ability to host in-person and online meetings in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art conference room.  COVID changed many aspects of our business with a major increase in online meetings being one of them.  Many companies struggled with technology issues to host or participate in online meetings with poor audio, video quality, background noise and unprofessional business settings negatively affecting meetings.  The size, layout and quality of the A/V equipment of the conference room now allows us to host annual company-wide in-person meetings as well. Every October we bring our entire staff in from around the country for weeklong meetings and the conference room comfortably allows us to host 20+ people.  The setting also allows us to host on-site meetings with key accounts.  Clients appreciate being able to combine a business trip with bringing their family to enjoy a few extra days to experience all Door County has to offer.
