Today we’d like to introduce you to Evan Lefevre Dc
Hi Evan, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I originally wanted to go to dental school, I became a dental lab technician and worked my way through college doing that. I had an interview at Lomalinda University Dental School in California and was told that as soon as I took the DAT test exam to contact them and I’d be able to enroll. A friend of mine got hurt at work and his boss sent him to a chiropractor for treatment, the friend asked me to go with him. Since neither he nor I had been to a chiropractor before we didn’t know what to expect. Well in that treatment he got better from the injury immediately and I was blown away. In my mind I switched to going to chiropractic school right then. I had an incredible experience in chiropractic school at Parker University, Chiropractic School, dental lab work prepared me in ways I didn’t anticipate for other incredible opportunities I had to teach Human Gross Anatomy dissection courses as a TA before graduating and then after graduating was given an opportunity to become a full time faculty member and to do the dissection for a college textbook with a professor from Baylor University. I did teach for a year but decided I really wanted to practice. My focus as a chiropractor has alway been on being an expert in my field and never worry about the money. What I found out was, for me being focused on quality of care in the long run made the money side of practice work out. 27 years later I have an incredible practice and still love going to work everyday.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I started with nothing, I just opened one day renting space and equipment from another chiropractor. It was not the easiest path, but for me the financial struggles, forced office relocations and all the ups and downs with the economy was very educational and valuable. It’s made me resilient in my daily life and has allowed me to be keep my priorities in check. I’m so grateful for my patients, but early on found out that I wanted to attract patients that aligned with me. I learned to accept the fact that I would find my people, that my patients were importantly to me and I wanted to do everything I could to make them feel better. I learned early on that when you do the right things for the right people and actually help them, they tell others about you and you just get to grow in business and in life.
As you know, we’re big fans of LeFevre Chiropractic . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I have always loved being in a sports chiropractic mind set. I got involved early on in practice with snowmobile racing. I spent many years sponsoring and treating dozens of professional racers. I was given a huge opportunity to participate in the care of student athletes at our local university and became the chiropractor for the athletic department because of my sports injury proficiency. Most importantly I have participated in an organization called Pro Sport Chiropractic, and that organization their training has set me apart from others in that I have always continued to learn and develop as a practitioner it kept me progressing and developing new skills and techniques over the years. I found that to a professional athlete little things made the difference between winning and losing but for a gramma, mom or dad, etc… that same little thing was the health benefit they need to still enjoy grand kids and stay active in life. To go to work to pay mortgages and buy food. I realized that doing my best and keeping my skills at their peak actually changed peoples lives and made the world a better place.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
I believe that chiropractic is an essential part of staying healthy but more importantly a major factor in aging well. People will service their vehicles without any questions about the value of spending the money to do that service. People somehow ignore that same concept when it comes to their own health and ignore their own health and physical wellbeing. The food we eat, the environment we are in, the exercise we do especially strength training and stretching are also major components to living well. Health and longevity has to be a personal priority. I feel like chiropractic is essential part of aging well, staying healthy and feeling good for your entire life. Chiropractic can be the difference between getting by and thriving.
