First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the pleasure it has been to work with Doug at Mitchell Chiropractic and Wellness for the past 17 1/2 years. We have shared countless experiences together, witnessing his practice grow into a thriving business that serves the wonderful people of Polk County and its surrounding areas. It has been a joy to witness each of our families grow and experience life’s changes side by side. Doug has become like a “little” brother to me, and I am incredibly grateful that our paths crossed when they did.
Change is never easy, and it has been a difficult decision for me. I have prayed fervently for God’s guidance in my current life, and I have been fortunate enough to receive a great opportunity that I couldn’t resist. I am incredibly grateful for the many years I have spent at 111 Felton Dr. and for the patients I will miss the most. You have become my family, and I will cherish the memories we have made.
When you visit the office, you don’t just get an adjustment; you might receive a warm hug, a friendly chat, or even a moment of shared emotion. But I promise you, you will leave feeling mentally and physically rejuvenated, and that’s what Doug and I have always strived for—to make our patients feel like family.
I will miss you all dearly, my family and friends. I will be just down the road, so please come and say goodbye. I have taken on the Office Manager position at Quint Family Care in Rockmart, which is located behind Triangle.
I am eagerly looking forward to my new adventure and the challenges that await me. I am working with Dr. Karen Thompson FNP-C, her office is located behind Triangle, so i am not going to far away.
I encourage anyone seeking a new primary care physician or dont wanna sit at Urgent care all day she takes walk-ins. Also does SPORTS and DOT physicals so give her office a call.
My last day at Mitchell Chiropractic and Wellness will be Friday, August 1st. Please come by, friends and patients, to say goodbye and give me a hug. I will truly miss each and every one of you, as well as Dr. Doug and his family.
This isn’t a goodbye; it’s a “see you later.” But I do ask each and every one of you to keep me in your prayers. Change can be difficult for someone like me who doesn’t particularly enjoy it, but I know that God has a hand in this. Take care of my brother, Dr. Doug.
Love you all and it's been a pleasure,
Melinda Odom
