HAINES CITY OFFICE TEAM
Dr. Brett Summers
As the son and grandson of medical doctors, I grew up familiar with life in healthcare, particularly pain management. As a result, I became all too used to hearing terrible stories about the opioid epidemic and poor health practices throughout the community, which furthered my resolve to become a doctor myself. Under the encouragement of my family, I explored chiropractic and after shadowing a chiropractor, I immediately knew that I had found my calling.
I attained my Bachelor’s degree from Ole Miss, and then attained my doctorate from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2018. My journey has taken me all across Florida, but I eventually ended up in Saint Petersburg and then Haines City where I now practice. My goal is to do everything that I possibly can to continue to improve the health and lives of others in our community, and help teach others how they can attain such healthy lifestyles with minimal intervention and medication.

Dr. Mike Risoldi
When I was just 16, I witnessed how effective chiropractic care could be in changing someone’s life. All my life, I had watched my mother suffer with debilitating migraine headaches. She would spend days resting in her dark bedroom, unable to move due to the severe pain she experienced. My mom tried a number of different types of doctors and every medication possible but nothing helped. Finally, it was a chiropractor who turned her life around.
When my mother started receiving regular chiropractic care, not only did her headaches subside, but her ulcerative colitis also began to heal. After I saw these positive transformations in my mom, I knew that I wanted to be a chiropractor. I wanted to help others find their way to a healthier and pain-free life.
BACKGROUND AND EDUCATION
I grew up in Trenton, New Jersey and completed my undergraduate studies at Montclair State University. In 1996, I graduated from Life University School of Chiropractic in Marietta, Georgia. After graduation, I moved to Florida. I have been practicing here in Clearwater since 1998.
MY APPROACH TO HEALING
My main goal is to empower my patients to maximize their life’s potential. While some chiropractors may choose to focus on neck and back pain, I offer my patients a well-rounded, holistic approach to healthcare. I work closely with my patients to offer continuing education in the areas of exercise, nutrition, supplements and maintaining a healthy mindset. With personalized, gentle adjustments, I can get you on the path to healing from a number of health concerns.
“The power of the human body and its ability to heal never ceases to amaze me. Every day, we witness small miracles in the lives of our patients. These changes fuel my passion for helping others.” – Dr. Mike Risoldi
