Dr. Andrew Willis

Dr. Andrew Willis was born in Orefield, Pennsylvania, and grew up an hour North of the Philadelphia area before moving to Tampa.

He chose to pursue an education in the healthcare field and graduated with his Bachelors of Science in Exercise Science at King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Dr. Willis chose to further his studies and proceeded to study chiropractic at Life University in Atlanta, GA, where his diagnostic, X-Ray, and patient management skills flourished. Dr. Andrew’s lifelong aim is to help patients understand their health, functionality, wellness, and their body’s ability to heal naturally through chiropractic care to allow them to live an active lifestyle of their choosing.
