What would the Ventura Spinal Care Center do without Jennifer “Jen” Gillispie! She has been with us since 1997. She left a couple of times so she could birth and raise her beautiful children: Kodie and Donnie “Bubba”. But she returned in 2009 and everyone couldn’t be happier, but especially Dr. Alff!

Jen does just about everything that is needed in our office (except the spinal adjustments!) She is the one who will greet you upon arrival and will make you feel warm and comfortable. She will handle any required paperwork quickly and efficiently. She will make sure you get all your questions answered and will make sure that you are seen quickly and that you have all the time you need for your care.

Jen is also a Massage Therapist so she understands the body and knows what it will take for you to achieve optimal health. She collaborates with the Doctors and back office staff to make sure you receive all the services that you need to get well and achieve wellness quickly. She is also very knowledgeable in nutrition and can answer many questions you might have in regards to what is needed to support your health.

In other words, you are in good hands from the minute you meet Jen. You’ll be glad you have gotten to know this beautiful (inside and out) lady.

Meet Rosey Esparza. She is Dr. Alff’s Back Office Assistant and he would be lost without her! She has been working as a part of our team since November 2005. Rosey is our non-surgical spinal decompression technician for incredible pain-relieving treatments on the amazing DRX-9000. She is one of the key reasons we have so many happy and satisfied patients. She also will be performing any therapy that may be needed to get you back to optimal health. Rosey also assists Dr. Alff and Dr Leonard with whatever else may be needed for our patients’ optimal healing. She also is very knowledgeable in the Essential Oils that we use in our office to assist the healing process, so if you have any questions about essential oils she is a great source to ask!

Rosey is also a Massage Therapist so she definitely has the healing touch and knows the human body and what it will take for you to heal quickly. She is the proud mother of Brianna, a beautiful 18 year old high school senior. She also loves any kind of animal and has the healing touch with them also!

She is awesome and everyone loves her! She will make you feel very welcome and comfortable. You’ll love her, just like we do!

Dr. Matt Leonard, D.C. has been a part of our team since July 2008. He attended LifeWest Chiropractic College in northern California, graduating in 2008. You will not find too many other Chiropractors that love Chiropractic the way Dr. Leonard does. He knows that all healing takes place from above down, inside out…as long as you remove the interference to the nervous system, your body can heal. Removing that interference by performing spinal adjustments which moves the bones off the spinal nerves and restores life to the body is very fulfilling to him.

Dr. Leonard, D.C. grew up in Ventura and knew that he would return to practice here, helping Ventura County residents restore their health. His parents and brother still reside in the area. He is married to a very beautiful young lady, Charlotte, who is employed as a Nurse. When he is not helping people achieve wellness, you will find him surfing at our beautiful beach here in Ventura.

Susan Alff, Dr. Alff’s wife, has been working alongside Dr. Alff since they first came to Ventura in 1982. They have been married since July, 1975 and she worked at the San Fernando Valley Association of Realtors while he went through Chiropractic College. Then, after the birth of their first child in 1983, a son named Darren, she came into the office to do the insurance billing, and has been here ever since! She only left for a short time in 1987 for the birth of their second child, a beautiful girl named Marissa.

Susan takes care of all the insurance billing for you so you don’t have to bother with it. She also does all the accounts payable and bookwork and also a lot of the public relations/marketing. She is also the errand gal and makes sure we have all the supplies we need to better serve you.

When she is not working at the Ventura Spinal Care Center, she likes to read and usually has a stack of at least 5 to 8 books going at one time. She also loves to watch movies, go shopping and takes care of her mother who lives in Orange County.
