Carissa (Office Manager)
I spent years thinking about seeing a chiropractor but never took that first step-until pain finally caught up with me. As a kid, I’d sometimes feel a burning sensation in the middle of my back, and as an adult working on my feet for 9 hours a day, the pain became impossible to ignore. My lower back and feet ached constantly, and eventually, it hurt just to stand, sit, or even lie down. I was miserable and still kept brushing it off. That changed when I started working with Dr. Goffe in April 2016. After my first few adjustments, I couldn’t believe I’d waited so long.
Chiropractic care didn’t just help with the obvious back and foot pain-it improved so many other aspects of my health. My migraines are now rare, my digestion is better, I sleep through the night, and my whole outlook on health and life has shifted for the better.
When I’m not in the office, I love to recharge by soaking up the sun and spending quality time with my family. Whether it’s a backyard get-together or just a sunny afternoon walk, being outside helps me reset and stay grounded. I’m passionate about helping people feel their best, and that extends beyond the office-it’s something that truly brings me joy in every part of life.

Sarah (Team Leader)
After working in the medical field for seven years, I love working at Vital Health Wellness Center because I can be a part of true healing in the lives of our patients using natural methods.
I cannot remember a time even as a child that I did not struggle with chronic neck and back pain, as well as poor posture. Since being introduced to the NUCCA technique, I have become completely pain free and have noticed a huge increase in my sleep quality.
My favorite thing about working in our office are the patient relationships I have been able to build. We truly have the best families that come here, and I love getting to share little moments of their lives.
In my free time, I love spending time outdoors kayaking, hiking, and traveling to national parks with my husband. I also love to spend time with my two dogs, one cat, and continuously growing collection of houseplants.

Elizabeth
I’ve been passionate about health and wellness since my high school years, I’ve cultivated a deep-rooted commitment to fostering holistic well-being. I was introduced to chiropractic in 2021 after doing some research through peer reviewed articles.
After being introduced I can’t imagine my life without it. I am a firm believer in the power of holistic health practices. Since working with Dr. Goffe, I have a better understanding of different types of chiropractic care as well as overall well-being.
When outside the office you can find me reading or enjoying a cup of coffee with friends.

SJ
I had been suffering from neuropathy in my feet for years, when I was told about NUCCA and SoftWave, and how they could help me. I had seen many doctors, had lots of scans, and gotten no answers. After beginning to get regular adjustments with Dr. Goffe, and SoftWave therapy, I felt immediate relief. After a full treatment plan of SoftWave, I went from being in pain 24/7 and not being able to move my toes at all, to no pain and full usage of my toes! My sleep also improved dramatically due to no longer having a constant pain sensation in my feet.
Before receiving chiropractic care and SoftWave, I would hesitate to or even have to decline spending time with family and friends because of my inability to put weight on my feet for long periods of time. Dr. Goffe and the team at Vital Health Wellness Center have given me back the freedom to spend time with my loved ones, and enjoy doing the things I’m passionate about it. I’ve been able spend hours back in the garden, running, going on long walks with my husband, and going to conventions with my friends.

Lindsay
My initial experience with upper cervical chiropractic care began when my son was injured. Seeing his wonderful results from care, I began receiving care for my occasional neck pain. I no longer have to worry about my neck seizing, and, with regular chiropractic care, I also noticed relief from my seasonal allergies.
I have worked in a NUCCA setting for more than 13 years and I enjoy patient care from beginning to end. I get to see patients move from various levels of discomfort, to relief of symptoms and it is such a rewarding field to be part of. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, four kids, and our two dogs. I also love getting my hands dirty with home renovation projects.
Chiropractic Assistant, Emeritus

Debbie
Long-time patients in our Dayton office will know that we were fortunate to have Debbie with us for many years. Debbie’s main desire in the office was always to assist patients be healthier and pain-free. While Debbie was with us for nearly 20 years, most of her time now is spent with her family…especially that grandson.
“I had tried everything…had different tests done…but the medical doctors told me I was fine, and there wasn’t any reason for the severe headaches I was suffering. I had to know why I had them though, and I started searching via the internet for a chiropractic doctor. Dr. Goffe was the closest to my home, so I called and scheduled an appointment. The results weren’t immediate, but the headaches have subsided and my life is more productive as a result of his care.”
“When I’m not at the office or taking care of my husband, son, daughter or grandson, I enjoy gardening, a variety of crafts, listening to music – my favorite is country and classic rock.”
