Meet Dr. Anthony Pasek
Dr. Anthony’s introduction to health care began in high school when he worked at an assisted living home, providing care for residents with Alzheimer’s. This early experience instilled in him a passion for helping others but also exposed him to the limitations of conventional medical approaches.
“While I initially considered a career in nursing, my perspective shifted after experiencing firsthand the benefits of chiropractic care following an elbow injury.” Seeing the potential for a more holistic, root-cause-focused approach to health, he redirected his path toward chiropractic and functional medicine.
A Pursuit of Education and Postgraduate Training
Dr. Anthony earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree and a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology from Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, Missouri. Committed to continuous learning, he has accumulated over 1,000 hours of postgraduate training in Functional Medicine, Neurology, and Nutrition.

His postgraduate education includes advanced training from the Kharrazian Institute, Apex Energetics, the Kresser Institute for Functional and Evolutionary Medicine, and Metagenics, with coursework focusing on autoimmune disease, brain chemistry, cognitive decline, chronic inflammation, and thyroid health.
