Dr. Salinas is a native Texan. Brought up in the Rio Grande Valley and grew up in Edinburg Texas. He is a proud graduate of Texas A&M University where he earned his BBA in Accounting in 2001.
While it may seem unusual, his path from accounting to healthcare is a common path for those who are most inspired to be called into this profession. His first move into healthcare came after he witnessed his father have back pain that eventually led to severely altering his father’s quality of life. His father began treating with a local doctor of chiropractic and saw immediate improvement in both pain and function. This intrigued Dr. Salinas and he decided to make a career change.
