To further his understanding of orofacial pain and its effect on the whole body, Dr. Carney obtained a Doctorate of Chiropractic (D.C.) from Palmer College in 1994.

Dr. Evans, Dr. Nordin-Evans and Dr. Carney are committed to valuing not only the health and wellbeing of a patient's dental condition, but also placing the utmost importance on the health of the entire person. They are committed to providing complete care that is sensitive to patients' dental, philosophical, emotional and financial concerns. The office atmosphere reflects an environment that is welcoming, warm and peaceful. The doctors work to provide informative, non-threatening knowledge to the patients which in-turn fosters a relationship of trust and confidence. They work very hard to ensure good communication by responding to patients' questions, input and feedback. When a patient is informed and knowledgeable of the procedure and treatment needs stress is reduced and a positive outcome can be achieved.

Dr. Evans, Dr. Nordin-Evans and Dr. Carney live a personal life that complements the holistic practices in the dental office. They are committed to a healthy diet, exercise program and other stress reduction practices that aid in maintaining a very active lifestyle. They are continually teaching others and attending continuing education classes to gain more knowledge to share with patients. The doctors measure success by the wellbeing, satisfaction, and healing they bring to their patients.
