Meet the Doctor

Whatever Dr. Peterson does, he is firm, positive, and enthusiastic in his approach. Dr. Peterson grew up in Davis County, Utah, graduating from David High School in 1979. He was a four-year letterman and continues to be very active playing golf, tennis, skiing, and hiking. He attended Utah State University and the University of Utah completing his pre-chiropractic education, whereupon he was accepted to the Los Angeles of Chiropractic in Whittier, California. Dr. Peterson graduated from LACC in 1985 and returned to the Salt Lake area, where he has been practicing since. Dr. Peterson has two wonderful children and one grandchild. His first, Blake, has now joined the practice after graduating from Life West Chiropractic College in the Bay Area. Needless to say, his father is so very proud and honored that his son will follow in his footsteps. His second, Anne Marie, of course, will always be his “little girl” and will always have that place in his heart. Dr. Peterson constantly strives to improve and update his knowledge in the field of chiropractic. He has completed extensive postgraduate study emphasizing the treatment and rehabilitation of whiplash injuries, headache, neck pain, and back pain. As a firm believer in the basic worth of every individual and the incredible healing power of the human body, Dr. Peterson is a true doctor of the people.

Dr. Bruce Koelliker was born in the sunny state of California. At a very young age his family moved to las Vegas, Nevada, which he calls home. With his mother being a nurse, Dr. Koellliker developed a desire early on to help people and knew he wanted to pursue an education in healthcare. While in high school, he excelled in athletics and participated in student government.

After his high school graduation in 1982, he attended Brigham Young University before leaving on a mission for the LDS Church. While serving in Aukland, New Zealand, he developed a love for the South Pacific and its rich culture. Upon retuning from his mission, he had the opportunity to attend BYU-Hawaii on an athletic scholarship and return to the pacific–a chance he just couldn’t pass up.

While attending college, Dr. Koelliker received numerous awards including Academic All-American, Outstanding College Students of America, and Most Valuable Player for basketball. During this time, he was fortunate to work closely with the medical director at BYU-Hawaii throughout the school year which only served to further his desire to go into healthcare. Returning to Las Vegas on summer breaks, he worked with some physical therapists there which increased his desire to help people with particular focus in sports rehabilitation. Following graduation from BYU, Dr K found he wasn’t yet ready to leave the Hawaiian sun, so he stayed and taught high school, coaching both volleyball and basketball.

Finally, with his young family in tow, Dr. Koelliker moved to southern California to attend chiropractic college. After graduating from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 1995, they moved to Las Vegas where he has been practicing for the past 14 years. He recently moved to Salt Lake City and is excited to serve the people of the Salt Lake Valley.
