This is to be able to provide even more thorough assessment of patient's health history and prognosis.
"Being Scandinavian is a big part of who I am. I was born and raised in Stavanger, Norway, where I grew up with 3 older brothers and a family filled with engineers. The engineering interest of the family all started with my great-grandfather founding an agricultural company, Kverneland, in 1879. With its high-quality and innovative ways of thinking, the company later became the biggest plowing company in the world. So growing up it was half-way expected that I would follow my family's career path. I didn't follow the traditional "engineering" path, but ironically being a chiropractor is very similar just for the mechanics of the body.
My goal is to bring Scandinavian, science-based chiropractic treatment to more people. It is important for me that my work and my practice reflects the values Scandinavians are famous for, innovation, quality, and integrity."
