Special thanks to our Parker Power Couples: Dr. Gene & Kathy Giggleman, Drs. Tim & Caley Nawrocki, Dr. Camille & Don Reagan, and Dr. Terry Garcia & Dr. Mark Scott, who participated in a lively panel discussion about working together as a couple in the Chiropractic field. The panel provided insight on how they manage to make their personal and professional relationships thrive while working together every day. This spurred a flurry of questions from our Parker students and provided them with helpful tools that will prepare them for their practice with their significant other. It was definitely an evening of engaging conversation and tons of laughter.
