We recently connected with Dr, Corey Howell and have shared our conversation below.

Dr, Corey, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Looking back at internships and apprenticeships can be interesting, because there is so much variety in people’s experiences – and often those experiences inform our own leadership style. Do you have an interesting story from that stage of your career that you can share with us?

While living in New Smyrna Beach for Chiropractic School, I stumbled upon a surf mastery class in Huntington Beach, California. The seminar ticket was $600, so I purchased my plane ticket first, naively expecting a future deal. A week before the trip, the seminar was sold out! Undeterred, I knew this was where the best surf medical doctors gathered. Through some resourcefulness (perhaps a touch of audacity), I secured entry.

There, I immersed myself in evidence-based practices: breathing techniques, manual therapy, psychology, biomechanics, and kinesiotape application. But the true treasure was connecting with the head doctor of the WSL medical team. His insights on manual therapy, movement, and his innovative tools ignited a passion within me. He saw this spark and, incredibly, invited me into his inner circle – learning sessions at his home and working with athletes alongside him.

As a logical thinker, I crave the “why” behind every technique. Dr. Tim Brown, with his unwavering patience and logical explanations, became my beacon, guiding me away from misconceptions and towards deeper understanding. His willingness to share his knowledge and experience was transformative. Dr. Tim Brown instilled in me a passion for evidence-based practice, innovation, and continuous learning – a wave I’m happy to ride forever.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Do you think you’d choose a different profession or specialty if you were starting now?

Without a doubt, I would absolutely choose chiropractic again. Witnessing the joy and excitement athletes experienced when visiting the chiropractor sparked a curiosity that led me to shadow various practices. I discovered a common thread: each patient held their doctor in high regard, almost like a ‘miracle worker.’ This wasn’t about specific techniques, but about the impact each chiropractor had on their patients’ lives. For me, that was exhilarating. I knew, regardless of my future approach, people would appreciate my service and time invested in their well-being. In a world where respect and appreciation are not always guaranteed, this resonated deeply. It’s that intrinsic reward, seeing the positive change I contribute to, that fuels my passion and reinforces my chosen path.

Furthermore, the diversity within chiropractic itself was fascinating. Each doctor had their unique techniques and philosophies, yet all aimed towards a common goal – improving patient health and quality of life. This variety keeps the profession dynamic and allows me to continually learn and grow, which aligns perfectly with my desire for constant personal and professional development.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

My reputation as a chiropractor wasn’t built overnight. It’s a culmination of consistent effort in four key areas: reliability, friendliness, clear communication, and fostering positive word-of-mouth. Patients need to know they can count on me – arriving on time, keeping promises, and delivering consistent, high-quality care. But it’s more than just professionalism. A warm smile, genuine interest in their lives, and a willingness to go beyond the injury goes a long way. Building trust requires clear communication too. This means actively listening to their concerns, explaining diagnoses and treatment plans simply, and openly answering questions. When patients feel empowered and informed, they become active participants in their healing journey. Ultimately, the most powerful endorsement comes from satisfied patients recommending me to their loved ones. It’s the reward for being reliable, friendly, and communicative, creating a ripple effect of trust and positive experiences. These four pillars – the foundation of my reputation – go beyond treating injuries and instead cultivate genuine connections, empowering patients to live healthier, happier lives.
