Meet Dr. Gabrielle Pettinato
Growing up as the daughter of a chiropractor, Dr. Gabrielle noticed her friends say they’re not feeling well. Or they had to stay home from school because they were sick. “I never had that issue, because my family took a more holistic approach to health.”
Since the age of 16, Dr. Gabrielle has been working with her father. “I enjoyed watching people get better and see not only their physical health improve, but also their mental health.” She decided to follow in her father’s footsteps and become a chiropractor.
Chiropractic Education
Dr. Gabrielle attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, and graduated in February 2022. When she started in the clinic aspect of schooling, she had so many younger patients excited to get adjusted, and she would explain what she did as she adjusted them. Dr. Gabrielle found it fulfilling when a few of the kids she worked with became interested in one day becoming chiropractors.
Welcoming & Transparent
“I like to greet everyone like they’re coming into a family.” For Dr. Gabrielle, it’s important to help everyone feel comfortable, because she knows that doctor visits can be scary, particularly as some patients may not know much about chiropractic. “I always try to be as open as possible with patients and give them reasons why I’m doing what I’m doing.”
