Dr. Kim Scarlassara, D.C.

Chiropractic Physician

Crystal Falls & Iron River Locations I grew up in Crystal Falls, Michigan, where I graduated from Forest Park and later attended Central Michigan University for my Bachelor of Science degree. I later obtained my Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. I am an active member of the Michigan Chiropractic Association, the American Chiropractic Association and the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. In my free time, I enjoy spending time at our camp and remaining active with my children's and community events. My husband, Dr. Tony, and I, share 2 amazing children, Gabe who is finishing high school and Maddie who is in her undergraduate program at Central Michigan University.  However, serving the health care needs of our community remains a top priority. I am pleased to be part of a great team of people helping the community to be healthier and happier.

Iron River & Crystal Falls Locations Following graduation, I served in the United States Army and married my wife Dr. Kim. Upon honorable completion of my tour, I attended Central Michigan University and obtained a Bachelor of Science degree. I worked for a while as a police officer. I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. When I am not helping individuals in my office, you will find me outdoors. One of my favorite passions is hunting. I also enjoy kayaking down the river and small lakes.

Chiropractic Physician

Iron River Location I grew up in the Upper Peninsula and later attended Northern Michigan University for Exercise Science. I grew up riding dirt bikes and needed a chiropractor often so after completing my Bachelor's Degree I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida to become one. I enjoy seeing our patients results after receiving care due to pain. I am excited to be back in the Upper Peninsula to bring happiness to the patients of Northwoods Family Chiropractic.

Iron River Location I have lived in Caspian, Michigan my entire life. My husband, David, and I have one son named Bradley. I enjoy riding our side-by-side, getting together with the special people in my life, and making fleece blankets.

Monica

Chiropractic Assistant

Crystal Falls Location I’m new to the chiropractic world but love a good challenge. I have a business degree from Bay de Noc Community College. I look forward to learning all that I can and using that knowledge to help as many people as I can. When I’m not working, I’m out enjoying as many of the favorite activities as I can. Some of those activities include things like hunting, fishing, kayaking and hiking. I also enjoy any activities that I can do with my family. I’m married, have one son, and 4 dogs that take up the remainder of my time.

Jordyn

Chiropractic Assistant

Iron River Location Born and raised in Crystal Falls, MI and a 2015 Forest Park graduate, Jordyn (as told by some of our patients) is as happy as they come. She enjoys adventuring the outdoors and anything to do with nature. In her free time you can find her ice fishing, side by siding, running with her dog Lovie, and playing with her abundance of nieces and nephews. She is always ready to help our patients with anything they may need (like using the Keurig machine). Jordyn has been here at Northwoods just under a year and is happy to be here!
