As a long time client and friend, we want to express our  deepest and hardiest congratulations.<\/p>\n<p>CONGRATULATIONS DR. TOM!!<\/p>\n<p>Whether you live in Wisconsin or in Australia, Dr. Tom Potisk is the  kind of chiropractor, man, father, husband, and friend you would like to  know. Unassuming and modest, his passion is strong and his  accomplishments are many. He is a leader of the best kind: by example.  He sets an excellent standard for us all.<\/p>\n<p>Kind, generous, industrious, and dedicated, he lives a balanced life  while managing a very productive three doctor office. Here are some of  the highlights:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0Graduated from Palmer Chiropractic College in 1984, interned with  Dr. Larry Troxel before starting his practice in South Milwaukee, WI,  U.S.A.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0He has invested a great deal of time and resources for community  programs including the YMCA, the local high school, veterans association  and his Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0He has twice been recognized by the United States Military as &#8220;Patriotic Employer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0President of the South Milwaukee Association of Commerce, Dr. Tom  was the recipient of the \u201cOutstanding Leadership and Effort\u201d award.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0Tom has maintained active memberships his local state organization  (Wisconsin Chiropractic Association), the Christian Chiropractors  Association, and The Gonstead Clinical Studies Society. Dr. Gregory  Plaugher of the GCSS will soon be publishing a particularly exciting  case study pertaining to one of Dr Tom&#8217;s patients with autism.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0Tom has had many articles published, including: \u201cSnowmobile  Magazine\u201d, \u201cThe Small Business Times\u201d, and articles in the local  community paper. He authored an expose in \u201cThe Chiropractic Report\u201d  titled \u201cThe Art of Chiropractic&#8221;. He writes a monthly column on natural  health care for the \u201cWisconsin Natural Foods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0He has provided chiropractic to hundreds of patients during several  mission trips to the Amazon, Belize, Costa Rica and Poland. A man of  faith, Dr. Tom feels that these trips are an expression of God&#8217;s love  that transcends his own faith community as an elder of St. Marcus  Lutheran in Milwaukee, and touches many lives in places far from home.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7Tom has had eight associate doctors with whom he has maintained a  mentoring relationship during their time in his office and after they  moved on in their careers. It is not uncommon for him to be on the phone  with one of his prior associates giving and taking ideas on how to  better serve patients. Of course, he also always finds time to provide  adjustments to local chiropractors in need.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0As an indication of the friendly kind of work environment Tom  creates, it is worth noting that he has had the same office manager for  all 21 years of practice. With the help of Petty, Michel and Associates,  Tom has been an excellent clinic director and manger. He is progressive  in his chiropractic practice marketing and management, and works to  continually reach out and promote chiropractic.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0Tom has been happily married for 13 years to Sue Potisk and has  three children. The family lives on a mini-farm a rural setting with a  family &#8220;swimming hole&#8221; pond, and keeps busy tending to their organic  garden, small flock of chickens, barn cats and their pig.<\/p>\n<p>Tom has set such a great example, and continues to do so, that\u00a0we  thought it worthwhile to post it as an example for all to see.<\/p>\n<p>(Much of this information was provided by one of his current associates Dr. Steven Seheuing.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Tom Potisk was selected by his peers as Chiropractor of the Year for the State of Wisconsin.
