“I have been in practice and teaching for over 30 years and have found no resources more useful than what Professional Health Systems offers – I require their texts for my classes.”— Dr. Daniel DeLapp, DC, Lac, ND – USA

“I was a very good examiner, diagnostician and provided very good care to my patients and students. However, since I have purchased your book by curiosity, I have been better at what I do, and your manuals have become excellent tools to my practice. So thank you for the effort and excellent work and I will continue to support you!”— Dr. Viet Nguyen

“Wish I had all of these books when I was in school, classes would have been so much easier. They are a great reference for the chiropractic board exams.”—John Urbanski, DC, DCFirst.com
