My Story

The chiropractic program at Northeast is incredibly challenging in many ways.

I am eager to become a doctor of chiropractic and ultimately pursue a role as a professor in anatomy and physiology.

Northeast’s philosophy of pursing optimal health immediately struck my attention. It correlates profoundly with my own philosophy, not only in healthcare and my future as a chiropractor, but also in my own life.

My Story

I am grateful for this program.

Go in and be confident with yourself. Make sure you are following your own goals and thoughts.

I would definitely rate my experience at Northeast College an 'A.' It truly was everything I wanted out of the program.

Northeast taught me to never be afraid to ask questions. This has helped me build confidence as a health care professional by driving me to think critically and make decisions of value.

Faculty & Staff

“The definition of chiropractic is ‘done by hand.’ We’re one of the few professions where we still use our hands as our main tools, both for diagnostic and for treatment purposes.”

My Story

There is room for creativity and innovation at Northeast, a chance to provide students with a blend of real-world experience and the needed tools for success.

Dr. Maria Thomadaki instructing students

If students do like me as a teacher it is because they realize I have their best interest in mind.

My motivation comes from a desire to serve my community.

The combination of scientific, evidence-based and natural approaches to healthcare were the main factors that originally drew me to chiropractic.
