His educational background of having majored in chemistry and biology combined with his lifelong experience and knowledge of chiropractic, positions him to be a doctor who pursues knowledge with a balanced focus on the practical application of science and philosophy upon patient outcomes. His track record of unparalleled results lies in his consistent execution of delivering an ideal balance in personal and procedural development, and integration of science and philosophy into practical patient experiences. Building team driven practices, cash practices and lifetime care are all cornerstones of TLC coaching. Dr. DePice excels at understanding and inspiring patients and doctors alike with a clear approach to combining science and philosophy in practice to optimize both the patients and doctors outcomes. He is able to accomplish this with the support from his wife, Dr. Jen DePice and his three children.
Dr. Joseph C. BorioDr. Joe was born February 7, 1965 in Syracuse, New York and is the third in a family of four children. His father owned and operated a large successful Italian restaurant where he learned the meaning of hard work. Playing every sport he could both in high school, college, and at the professional level, Dr. Joe decided to enter into a career to help ensure true health and wellness to the people in his community he knew as a boy.
After graduation from Chiropractic School Dr. Joe began his chiropractic practice in Cicero, New York in March 1991 at the same location he practices now. In the past 21 years Dr. Joe has grown one of the largest high volume practices in the country, sometimes adjusting over 600 people in a single day. Dr. Joe has two sons, the oldest Joey is fourteen years old and the youngest Vito is nine.
He started Chiropassion Consulting ten years ago in an effort to build successful chiropractors and their teams reach their highest level of service possible. Dr. Joe practices as he coaches his clients, with passion, total commitment and hard work. He cares as much about the practices he oversees as his own. His clients will tell you he is an honest man with a great outlook and a warm personality whose motivational speaking and conviction for his love of chiropractic is apparent in everything he does.
"The future of chiropractic is in our hands and it is a huge responsibility. Chiropassion Consulting is one of many efforts to keep true to the chiropractic principles while ensuring the success of all the clients we help." We ask anyone who is interested in growing a successful chiropractic practice founded on strong principles to join us as we take the profession into the next fifty years while preserving the foundation of the art, philosophy, and science of which the profession was built.
“My goal is to achieve success for chiropractic, by coaching as many chiropractors as possible so they can serve as many families as possible, so we can improve and preserve the lives of all those we serve.”
After working as the creative director for various advertising agencies in Denver, Seattle, and San Francisco, Mr. Esteb was introduced to chiropractic in 1981 when he was asked to write what became known as the Peter Graves video for Renaissance International.
Later, he got together with two chiropractors and formed Back Talk Systems. For 10 years he was the creative force behind this patient education resource company. In 1999 Mr. Esteb sold his interest in Back Talk Systems to start Patient Media, Inc., focusing on patient education and communications tools that feature high impact graphics.
In 2004 he co-founded Perfect Patients, an interactive website service which manages the online reputations of over 2,000 chiropractors in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. In 2011 he co-founded The Paperwork Project, collaboration with Kathy Mills Chang, which supplies state-of-the-art chiropractic paperwork and documentation resources at www.ChiropracticPaperwork.com.
He is the author of ten books that explore the doctor/patient relationship from a patient’s point of view. His weekly blog posts at www.PatientMedia.com and Monday Morning Motivation emails are ways he shares over 30 years of experience as a chiropractic patient and advocate. When he isn’t writing about chiropractic or speaking about chiropractic, he can be found thinking about chiropractic—from a patient’s point of view. www.patientmedia.com
