Today we’d like to introduce you to Kirtland Speaks.
Kirtland, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I practiced in Norman, OK before moving here for family reasons. We became familiar with the Cedar Hill area because of our church and private school. I began volunteering as the team doctor for Trinity Christian School–even before I opened our practice–and it became very clear that Cedar Hill was a great community to build our practice.
We began looking for a place to rent or to purchase, and we found out that Expressions Hair Studio was for sale. So upon inquiring about the building, we found out that there was more than enough space to keep the hair salon–add a spa and a build a chiropractic office–so that’s exactly what we did.
The salon is now Expressions Salon and Spa and the office, Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab helps infants, families, post-surgical and senior patients achieve optimal health through chiropractic care and rehab. We are still the team doctor for Trinity Christian School 18 years later, as well as a number of other schools and university teams that we help. About 3 years ago, we expanded into downtown Dallas and have a practice in the heart of downtown, off Akard Street inside the Dallas YMCA building.
Our goal is to continue to serve our community with quality chiropractic care and continue giving back to the communities we serve in many charitable ways.
Has it been a smooth road?
All medical and chiropractic practices have been through multiple insurance regulation changes, tax reforms, HIPPAA regulatory changes, healthcare changes, EHR mandates and Medicare reform over the past 23 years. Our practice has had its ups and downs like any business and at times have struggled as well. But we continue to go back to what we do best–going that 2nd mile in service to help people. It’s always a gentle reminder that we are not here at all if we aren’t serving our patients and our community.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Expressions Chiropractic and Rehab is a premier chiropractic clinic serving Cedar Hill and the surrounding areas as well as Downtown Dallas. We see people with neck pain, back pain, migraines, numbness and tingling, as well as injuries from car accidents, work injuries and a host of sports related injuries. We see people who do not have any pain whatsoever, but they know chiropractic care optimizes health. Probably some of my favorite patients are the newborn infants who we see regularly to help them get a great start on life.
We are known for our sports and injury rehab, our Friday night football sideline work and for our community involvement. I am most proud of the exceptional team I have and that every member of my family (wife, son and daughter) work in some phase of the business.
This is our family, our passion and our dream and we are blessed to have these practices.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
Cedar Hill is an outstanding diverse community that is one the most beautiful areas in the metroplex. We have hills, a beautiful state park and lake, wide open land, and a community that is filled with wonderful people and businesses.
What disappoints me the most is the misconception that Cedar Hill and South Dallas are unfairly looked down upon compared to other areas of the metroplex.
