Dr. Kati Ozowski is a proud native Texan. Growing up in the DFW area she played a lot of soccer and volleyball, and loved watching hockey. Dr. Ozowski grew up in a household with a holistic mindset, and when she didn’t make the varsity volleyball team her junior year in high school she was excited to have the opportunity to work at a chiropractor’s office. While working she saw the amazing value that chiropractic had on the people that walked through the doors and decided then that is what she wanted to do.

My name is Dr. Gabriel Dela Rosa, I grew up in Norman, Oklahoma home of the Sooners. I grew loving sports and competing in martial arts, crossfit, and powerlifting. Some of my hobbies include competing in nerdy card games such as digimon and pokemon! When I’m not trying to catch them all or dueling, I like to cook for and spend time with my wonderful wife.

I graduated with a B.S. in Health & Exercise Sciences in 2017 from the University of Oklahoma. I then went on to receive my Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2020 from Parker University.

What I love most about chiropractic is the opportunity to care for and help people progress along their health journey.

Dr. Landry Alexander, who goes by Dr. Landry, joined The Joint in 2022. Dr. Landry received his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Parker University in 2021. He also received a Masters in Strength and Human Performance. According to Dr. Landry, “the best thing about being a chiropractor is seeing immediate results and the positive impact made on people’s day”. “The second best thing about being a chiropractor is that activity I personally get to experience. I love being active and this career offers just that.” He has previously worked in Dallas, Hurst, and Euless. Dr. Landry was raised in Mt. Vernon, Texas (East Texas). His hobbies include resistance training, hiking, water sports such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and skiing, golfing, and traveling. He is married to Lauren. “I realized chiropractic was my calling when I realized the potential to change people’s lives through proactive health care.” “Alliance Town Center provides a personal and relaxed environment that truly listens to the patient and makes every effort to resolve their complaint.” The one thing he must have in his fridge is milk: “its great to drink, used in many dishes, and excellent to maintain strong bones with all that adjusting”. Four “famous” people, living or dead (but not friends/family members), who would comprise his perfect dinner party, would be: Nicola Tesla, Alan Watts, John Jacob Astor IV, and Paul Stamets. The coolest thing he’s ever done was he backpacked across Europe. “I had the privilege to experience many different cultures and diverse populations. Through this experience I learned to appreciate many perspectives and living styles and relearned to value the blessings and opportunities America has to offer.”
