Dr. Doug Matzner completed his pre-professional studies at Eastern Illinois University before completing five years of professional training in 1981 at the National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, Illinois.

Most people are unaware of the training that goes into becoming a chiropractic physician. Prior to graduation, Dr. Matzner was trained in internal and laboratory diagnosis, orthopedics, pediatrics, toxicology, clinical nutrition, acupuncture and radiology. He also performed and read EKGs and conducted gynecologic exams.

Dr Kara Metcalf is no stranger to hard work.  She grew up on a dairy farm in Iowa with three older brothers and a multitude of farm chores.  She brought a strong work ethic into her undergraduate studies at Iowa Wesleyan College in Mt. Pleasant, IA.

Dr. Metcalf always knew she wanted to help people, and so she enrolled in Palmer College of Chiropractic to begin her career as a chiropractic physician in the place where the first ever college of chiropractic was established in 1897.

I recently joined the Matzner Clinic staff as a Jump Start coach.  The best part of working here is meeting new people and helping them achieve their weight loss goal by incorporating Ideal Protein into their life.  Many of our clients are seeing results they never thought were achievable, and I am privileged to be part of helping them accomplish that.   Matzner Clinic has many offerings in addition to the Jump Start program that are helping people live healthier and more productive lives.  Come by Matzner Clinic and learn how we can help you achieve the life you want to live. 

I have worked in the Chiropractic Industry for about 7 years and I have also been a chiropractic patient this long. So I am a firm believer in what the chiropractic lifestyle can do for you. I also have experience as a personal trainer as well as in nutrition. I love to help motivate others. Patients can count on me to make sure that they get the care they need when they need it.  I hope to help teach and educate patients to live a more "Health conscious" lifestyle by making better choices that will benefit them the rest of their lives. Coming to Matzner Clinic is LIFE CHANGING!!! 

I’ve been with Dr. Matzner for about five years now.  I believe strongly in natural medicines and in the body’s natural ability to heal.  I believe in hearing people out and working with them to make their situation work.  I like seeing the patients achieve financial understanding and ease. I also like to see them smile and know that they have came to the right place.  You should come to Matzner Clinic because you will meet the best of the best when it comes to Chiropractic care.

Working at Matzner Clinic has been a wonderful journey for me. It began in 2004, and since that time I've held many different positions within the office from Therapist to Certified Nutritionist to New Patient Advocate, and now Community Wellness Director. We all wear many hats here but one thing is for certain - we are committed to leading this community towards true wellness. It's our vision, our passion and it's an honor to introduce people to vitality in every sense of the word. I believe in the body's natural healing powers and I strive to empower others to embrace that quality within them. Working alongside such an understanding, driven, and highly-trained staff is something I am grateful for every day!

I am happy to be part of the Matzner Clinic team.  It feels more like a family of honest-to-goodness, down to earth, real life people with a passion to serve others.  I've worked for Dr. Matzner since May 2007.  I like to act as a liaison between the office and directing the patient to the resources they need in seeking wellness.  I am very inspired to see so many people who seek out wellness, actually achieve their goals at Matzner Clinic.  If there is one reason that you should come to Matzner Clinic, it is because of the knowledgeable and dedicated staff.
