Meet Our Team
Dr. Tiffany Altilio
With a background in surgical nursing, Dr. Tiffany realized she wanted to be more involved in the prevention of health conditions. Her introduction to chiropractic was when she had an injury and sought chiropractic care. She was amazed at how well it worked for her without drugs or surgery. She loves the fact that the body is able to heal itself. “We’re healing and self-regulating.”
In addition to her Doctor of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Minnesota, Dr. Tiffany has a nursing degree as well. She also did postgraduate pediatric and prenatal training. “After working on an orthopedic floor as a nurse in a good sized hospital in the Midwest for a year, I started to look around and realized that this wasn’t quite right.” When she was in school, she was really into the medical model due to her background as a registered nurse. “I knew a tiny bit about chiropractic, but I didn’t get the philosophy yet.”
Dr. Paul Botner
The day of his high school graduation, Dr. Paul hopped a plane to Alaska where he spent thirteen summers as a commercial fisherman, making first mate the final three seasons and running his own eight-man crew. Then disaster stuck: rounding off the largest season of his career, he sustained an injury. The pain became so severe that the only position that offered any relief was lying flat on his stomach.

Faced with the biggest healthcare decision of his life, Dr. Paul chose Chiropractic care. X-rays were taken of his neck and back and a corrective care plan was scheduled. As the plan progressed his pain went from acute to zero.
Wilson Altilio
As a second-generation Chiropractor, Wilson’s decision to go on to Chiropractic school felt very natural. While completing an art degree from Reed College, Wilson worked at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) as a chemistry lab educator. Here she fell in love with science education and exploration, both of which have heavily influenced her philosophy of medicine.
