The Many Faces of Success
Blending Home and Office: The Best of Both Worlds
Linda Tarpley, D.C., grew up just 20 miles outside New York City, but she credits her decision to establish a home practice far from busy city life with allowing her more time to spend with her husband and children while also developing a satisfying career. Having a rural office has also provided more than a few unusual experiences. Located in the Holly Springs community of Upstate South Carolina, she’s treated a variety of patients in need of chiropractic services. But she’s also had people walk into her office with broken bones, sprained ankles, twisted knees and even heart palpitations.
“I’ve had to send a patient to the emergency room, and I’ve sent the ones with sprains and broken bones to be x-rayed,” Tarpley says of a practice in which she has earned the trust of the farmers, builders and often self-employed residents of the community.
When working in the high-pressure world of real estate in New Jersey, what she calls a “rat race,” she couldn’t have envisioned the life she lives now. After leaving a 14-year career in real estate to attend another chiropractic college, Tarpley embarked on what she calls “a whirlwind 10 years.” First she met Bob, the man who would become her husband. Then she transferred to Sherman, graduated, married, had their first child and began building her practice.
Since she didn’t want a “shopping center location,” Tarpley and her husband, who has worked for Michelin North America for the past six years, decided to build a home to their own specifications.
Waiting For the Right Opportunity
Paul Newhart, D.C., took a somewhat circuitous route to his current position with the Leola Family Health Center near Lancaster, PA, but he couldn’t be happier about where he ended up.
After graduating from Sherman in 1993, the Wilkes-Barre native knew that he wanted to return to Pennsylvania to begin his career. He opened an office, but after a little more than a year, he closed the office. Then he joined his father doing construction work, waiting for an opportunity to present itself. That opportunity came in the form of a job working in a gym, helping patients of all kinds through chiropractic care.
While working at the gym, Newhart continued to search for the perfect fit for his career. Then he met a woman at the gym who worked the front desk for a chiropractor who was located in the nearby Leola Family Health Center. They struck up a conversation, and she told him that the doctor she worked for might be looking for someone to join his practice.
In fact, as it turned out, the doctor wanted someone to take over his practice. That turned out to be just the opportunity that Newhart had been hoping for. He bought the existing equipment and moved into the office space, embarking on a practice that he finds quite rewarding.
