I am originaly from Lima, Ohio and after graduating highschool in 1997 with honors, I spent 2 years at The Ohio State University working on pre-requisites for chiropractic college.  I was accepted into Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa the summer of 1999.  While working on my Doctorate in Chiropractic, I also finished my Bachelor degree in Human Biology.  ( I finished a 9 year program in 6 years) In 2002, I was selected to participate in a government funded clinic abroad trip to Fiji where a group of 12 students spent 3 weeks educating and treating the citizens of Fiji. I graduated from Palmer in October of 2002 and began associating for a very prestigious Doctor in Shelby Township, Michigan (a suberb of Detroit) for 1 year, where I learned what it takes to run a high-volume office.  I then began practicing with a female chiropractor in Warren, Michigan with 20 years experience in family wellness care, also very high-volume (120 people/day).  During this time, I was coached by The Master's Circle consultant group for 2 years, where I learned that success comes FROM you, not TO you. My fiancé was offered a job opportunity in Hermosillo, October of 2005.  I moved there 2 weeks after him and have been here since.  I also do fill-in work for colleagues in Michigan for weeks at a time.  I am licensed to practice chiropractic in Michigan, Ohio, and also have a working visa for Mexico. Yours In Good Health, Dr. Amanda R. Smicklas D.C.
