Today we’d like to introduce you to Timothy and Kitty Yon.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I am originally from Toronto, Canada. I had no idea what chiropractic was, until I had a hip injury in high school. My friend’s Chiropractor saved me from a lot of pain and kept me from dropping out of varsity sports. I couldn’t believe how amazing his treatments were, and that they helped my body heal naturally! I was instantly inspired to pursue chiropractic.
Tim and I were just friends at National University of Health Sciences. Tim is originally from Chicago, born and bred. After the 4 year rigorous program, he opened a practice in Lincoln Park, and I opened a practice in Toronto. We tied the knot in 2006 and I moved back to Chicago. We started a family practice together, but honestly, we were hesitant at first. It’s not always easy to work with your spouse everyday! But, we promised to never bring the stresses of work home, and I promised to never badger him about house chores while at work. We work really well together! We lead and push one another to give the best to our patients.
Has it been a smooth road?
Smooth? No way! The education we received at National was outstanding, and we loved treating patients! But we had no idea how to run a successful business, efficiently.
Building a practice starts with building relationships and trust. This takes time and patience. One of most difficult struggles was trying to figure out the daily operations and getting our name established in the community, all while trying to start our family. We just had our newborn baby daughter 4 months ago, so finding a healthy work-life balance has been a priority for us.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with The Centre for Chiropractic Health – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
We specialize in chiropractic medicine. This involves treating the body naturally, without drugs or surgery. We also enjoy incorporating acupuncture, manual therapies, and rehabilitation when it is necessary, to get our patients back to functioning at their best so that they can do the things they love.
Tim really enjoys mixed martial arts, as well as treating these athletes. It’s amazing how skilled these athletes are! We’ve been blessed to be able to treat many of these professional, amateur, and weekend warriors. I also enjoy treating a spectrum of athletes, as well as the entire family, young and old.
We are most proud of how we run our office with integrity. We and our staff genuinely give a darn about our patients. Our passion is caring for the needs of our patients, and being as straightforward as possible with them. We have so much fun doing what we love, and our patients become like family to us. We are also enthusiastic about giving back to our community for significant causes such as food pantries, health research and children’s activities.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
Tim’s always reminds me that “Chicago is the best city in the world”! Chicago is beautiful and clean. It has so much diversity, stunning architecture, and exceptional restaurants. There is something for everyone here!
What we like least about our city are the cold winters and summer construction.
