Meet the Doctor - The Steady Guide on Your Healing Journey

Like many people, I grew up believing chiropractors were “quacks.” That perspective changed in 2010 after years of construction work left me with serious lower back pain. It reached the point where I locked up during a yoga class and could barely stand straight. My wife suggested seeing her chiropractor. Skeptical but desperate, I agreed — and when traditional care didn’t resolve the pain, we found a specialist who focused on the upper neck.

It didn’t make sense to me at the time — treating the neck to fix the lower back — but after one adjustment, I felt relief. By the next day, my pain was gone, and I was back on the ski slopes with my grandchildren. That experience completely shifted my understanding of health and healing.

I realized that if chiropractic could restore my life so quickly, I wanted to help others experience the same. At 57, I made the leap, left the corporate world, enrolled in chiropractic school, and graduated in my early 60s. For nearly a decade now, I’ve specialized in upper cervical care, helping patients with chronic issues that other treatments often overlook.

Today, my passion is simple: to serve, to listen, and to help people find the same freedom and healing I once thought wasn’t possible.

LINDA
WILLARD

Meet Linda - The Heart of Hayden Island Chiropractic

Every strong practice has someone behind the scenes who keeps everything running smoothly, and for us, that person is Linda.

As the first friendly voice you hear on the phone and the warm smile that greets you at the door, Linda is the glue that holds our entire operation together. She answers questions, schedules visits, guides new patients through their first steps, and somehow manages to make our busy clinic feel calm, welcoming, and personal.

Patients often say they feel better before they even see the doctor — and that’s largely because of Linda.

Her natural kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care for each person who walks through our doors create the atmosphere we’re known for: compassion, comfort, and connection. Whether she’s helping someone navigate insurance, listening to their concerns, or simply offering a reassuring word, Linda makes sure every patient feels seen, heard, and cared for.

In many ways, Dr. Willard restores the body — but Linda restores the experience. Together, they make a team dedicated to helping people heal, feel supported, and find hope again.
