The Joint Chiropractic - Savannah Twelve Oaks

Dr. Whitney Denton was born and raised in Bristol, Tennessee and graduated from Life University in Marietta, Georgia with her Bachelor Degree in Biology, and her Doctorate in Chiropractic.

At the age of 5, I had a traumatic accident where I landed on my neck doing a back handspring, which resulted in chronic migraines for twenty years. I suffered from these migraines every single day, and could only function with pain medicine. After working as an intern for 3 years for a pharmaceutical company, I realized customers were too dependent on drugs to treat their health conditions. One of those customers, unfortunately, was me. I began to look for a healthier option to treat my chronic migraines.

A few years later someone informed me about chiropractic care and how it helps with migraines. During my first encounter with a chiropractor, he manually adjusted my neck and I was headache-free. For the first time in my life, I felt alive! Since that moment, I devoted my life to learning about chiropractic, and how to treat others with similar conditions.

Dr. Denton is pleased and honored to work in the Savannah and Pooler, Georgia area to educate patients on the neurological disorders they face everyday. She hopes to bring knowledge and understanding on how beneficial chiropractic care can be, even at a very young age.

You can find Dr. Denton on her time off enjoying salsa dancing with her boyfriend John and exploring the beautiful city of Savannah. She loves living so close to the Beach and would go everyday if she could.

Dr. Tonya Harris is a native of a small town, Clarksdale, Mississippi. She attended Mississippi State University where she obtained a Bachelor's of Science degree in biological sciences. Dr. Harris has always known that she has wanted to help others. When she first heard that she could do just that with her hands and the power of an adjustment, she knew she wanted to be a Chiropractor. She received her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University in Marietta, GA.

Dr. Tonya's chiropractic story began while she was working on her undergraduate degree. She had suffered from headaches for the majority of her life. She says " I could not remember a time when I didn't get headaches." Chiropractic offered her a solution rather than a temporary bandage to this issue. The idea of removing physiological stressors in the absence of medicine was not widely acknowledged in throughout her life. That information helped change her outlook on health and vitalism. She wanted to spread the philosophy of chiropractic and encourage individuals to take control of their health.

In her spare time, she enjoys shopping, going to concerts, spending time with friends and traveling. One of her most exciting memories was traveling through France with friends while she was in high school. Experiencing different cultural norms is always fascinating to Dr. Harris. Learning about various groups of people around the world highlights many of our similarities we have as people and many of the principles that connect us. Dr. Harris also enjoys spending her spare time giving back to the community and views of her self as a humanitarian. She has participated in Habitat for Humanity for many years, giving her time at several soup kitchens and retirement homes, and volunteered for several community beautification efforts in her hometown.

Dr. Misty Geiyer is a compassionate and knowledgeable Chiropractor who has been practicing for 20 years. Dr. Geiyer received her Bachelor in Science from Regents College in Albany, NY and her PHD in Chiropractic from Sherman College in Spartanburg, SC; graduating both with Cum Laude honors.

After graduating Chiropractic school, she built and established a thriving practice in Simpsonville, SC where she treated the entire community consisting of infants to geriatrics providing the highest quality of care to her patients.

In 2017 she moved to Columbia, SC where she started working for The Joint Chiropractic at all 4 locations. Prior to Chiropractic, Dr. Geiyer was a combat medic in the USAR. She also worked as an LPN in several states in different hospitals on all units.

“I love and am passionate about Chiropractic because the adjustment frees up the nervous system in order for the body to function at its maximum potential to maintain and heal itself. Every individual is different and I value open communication with all of my patients and listen so I can truly help you get better and live your healthiest life.”

Aside from Dr. Geiyer’s Chiropractic career, she earned her Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI) designation in 2006 and continues to actively pursue her passion in real estate. In her spare time, she likes to travel, kayak, and visit with friends and family. She also enjoys cooking and is an avid fan of Minnesota Vikings.

Dr. Geiyer’s greatest experience was climbing to the peak of Pacaya, a volcano in Guatemala, which was starting to erupt while peering into the crater.

Dr. Leo Levesque - My last name can be difficult to pronounce so feel free to call me Dr. Leo.

I began my professional career in the U.S. Army. After being injured overseas, returning home, and proceeding to have multiple surgeries my career was brought to an end. A friend of mine introduced me to chiropractic as a means to help me through my injuries without further surgeries and that began what would become my new life mission. To help others not have to go through what I went through.

Retirement didn't suit me and so I decided I would go to school. Chiropractic helped me so much and my goal is to help others not have to go through what I did. Graduating from Sherman College of Chiropractic I returned to the Savannah area that had supported me so much during my deployments with a desire to give back.

Proudly serving the Savannah community as the only veteran Chiropractor in the area allows me to work in one of the finest military communities and support our brave men and women who continue to fight.
