Meet the staff at Allegan County Chiropractic. We love our jobs and it shows.
Dr. Kathryn Hafer D.C., CPE
I’ve lived and worked the Chiropractic lifestyle and philosophy for the last 30 years. I graduated from WMU and then went on to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.
Long term Chiropractic relationships have been formed working in SW Michigan for many years. My patients are part of my family, their joys and sorrows are felt in the office.
While I was at WMU I was involved in designing recreational programs and therapy for people with disabilities. That interest led me to incorporate cranial adjusting and use of a low force adjusting instrument called the “activator” into my toolbox of techniques to use to help people reach their health potentials.
These techniques of care as well as traditional Chiropractic methods have been useful with individuals experiencing chronic headaches, concussions, sleep disorders, as well as developmental delays in children, and ADHD, to name a few
In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors, playing with Sedona. I’m also into antique cars, movies, and vacations in warm destinations.

Jackie Smith
I’ve been the Chiropractic Assistant at Allegan County Chiropractic Health Center since 2011. I make sure the clinic runs as smoothly as possible, wearing many hats.
I answer the phone, answer your billing questions (or find the answers), and interact with insurance companies. You’ll always see a smile on my face, and I love word puns, so bring one with you next time you’re in.
We’ve got this awesome kid cave for your kids, and we like the laughter kids bring into the office. I spend time answering your kids’ “why” questions and introducing them to Sedona, our office greeter.
When not working at ACCHC I spend time on my homestead working at whatever the season demands: winter – hauling and splitting wood for the wood stove and reading; summer – gardening, preserving food for winter, and enjoying the beauty of nature in all seasons. I’m also a writer, so spend lots of free time at my computer.

Sedona
Our Therapy Dog
Sedona has been with Dr. Hafer for over 12 years. During the Covid shutdown, she stayed home but now she’s back again.
She loves to play with kids and can handle any kind of “petting” your child will give her.
Sedona even has her favorite chair in the waiting room. She’ll let you know which one it is. She’s waiting to see You!
Come in and get some unconditional love from her. She greets every patient. Your loving is good, but she’s always curious about that new person who just walked in. No loyalty to any one person. She loves everyone.
By the way, we have a clothes brush if you come in wearing black. We use it ourselves all the time.
