QUINCY

Hey all! I am Quincy, the True Roots Chiropractic mascot! You will see me from time to time spreading the love around the practice. I am a lover of anyone and everyone that walks through our door (especially kiddos) but I know not everyone always loves me quite as much. If this is the case, no need to worry! Just tell my Mom (Dr. Paige) or one of the nice front office gals and I will gladly go lay down in the back and take an afternoon snooze!

Outside of the office you can find me snoozing, playing fetch, chewing bones, or my favorite, SWIMMING!
