Jeff Smee D.C.
Originally from Geneva, OH, a graduate of Cleveland State University, and then New York Chiropractic College, in 2013, Dr. Jeffery Smee brings a wealth of knowledge, leadership, and experience. After completing his chiropractic training at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD, he joined Lehigh Valley Health Network, practicing for 10 years.

He has special interests in evidence based management of lumbar disc herniations, sports injuries, and various spine related pain conditions. Dr. Smee has a passion for evaluating, diagnosing, and most importantly, educating patients on their pain conditions. He prides himself on accessibility and triaging patients to appropriate specialties should he not feel chiropractic care is the most appropriate at a given time. He lives in Macungie, PA with his wife Deborah, daughter Isabel, and elder French bulldog, Cersi.

Chiropractor
Vincent Diana D.C.
My philosophy when caring for patients is to establish trust and then identify any source of their pain and/or dysfunction. It's important to understand because some conditions may have gone unaddressed for a long time. Listening to the patient allows a doctor to establish a proper diagnosis, a realistic treatment plan and realistic goals for a return to activity. Health care partnerships also let the patient know whether they are in the right place for care or need to see another specialist.
Why I Entered Medicine
Both my father and older brother are caring and talented chiropractors, devoted to improving the health of their patients. At a young age, while playing sports and eventually college football, I was able to maintain an injury-free career through chiropractic care.
Community Involvement
I am involved with my church and with civic organizations. I plan to become involved with both youth and professional sports organizations.
Personal Interests
I have multiple ways to stay busy in my free time. I enjoy ATV and off-road motorcycle riding, as well as small engine repair and restoration. I also like hunting, fishing and the outdoors. I'm a fan of sports.
