Meet Dr. Tony Dejtiranukul (DC)

BACKGROUND

How did you get into your field?

I knew I wanted to help people since I have been surrounded by health care since I was a baby. I shadowed various doctors and professions as I went through school. One of the clinics that I shadowed was a chiropractic office. I was instantly attracted to the chiropractic profession when I saw an old man who was barely able to walk into this office and then walk out perfectly fine like there were no issues at all! I knew I wanted to make an impact like that on other people.
