I found this page today and wanted to share my experience. I was introduced to Dr. Klinginsmith many years ago when I hurt my back working construction. I met him through a friend of mine who said he could help me. She called him "Dr. Bobby" and she was right! Since then he has made an incredible impact on my health and my path. His gentle demeanor and caring heart are what made him the man he was. He literally changed my life. I am a master electrician and I worked in that trade for 27 years. I have since gone back to school in my 50´s and will become a Doctor of Chiropractic in August 2023!

Going to see the "Doc" was like visiting a friend. I could always count on leaving his company feeling better both body and soul. Truly a nice guy who was a pleasure to be with. My wife and I will dearly miss the "Doc".
