Dr. Stephany Uc

Dr. Stephany Uc (pronounced oo-k), a first-generation chiropractor, embarked on her healthcare journey with an unconventional start. After graduating from Rockwall High School at 16 and earning her bachelor's degree from Austin College at 20, she initially aimed for Medical School. However, God had other plans.

Taking a break from academia, she served as an EMT-B for two private ambulance companies, an experience that enriched her understanding of patient care. However, it was her father's car accident that kindled her passion for Holistic Care, leading her to Parker University.

Dr. Stephany was immediately drawn to the systematic approach of Gonstead Chiropractic, which focuses on identifying the primary causes of health conditions. While studying at Parker, she played a significant role on the Gonstead Club's Leadership Team, inspiring and nurturing fellow students' passion for chiropractic care.

Today, Dr. Stephany is a dedicated member of the Keller community, regularly hosting educational talks to stress the importance of preventative care. Committed to staying updated with the latest in healthcare, she frequently attends seminars and continuous learning programs. As one of Keller's top-rated professional chiropractors, Dr. Stephany shares her extensive knowledge with the community, aiming to inform and inspire.

Working alongside her husband, Dr. Johnny Nguyen, Dr. Stephany also mentors Gonstead students from Parker University. Their shared passion for community service extends beyond their professional lives, reflected in their active roles in various church ministries.

Dr. Stephany's deeply rooted faith resonates with her professional commitment to holistic care. She firmly believes that God has designed our bodies with the innate ability to heal, a conviction that shapes her approach to chiropractic care. This belief positions her as more than a chiropractor; she becomes a vessel of healing, aligning her practice with the divine purpose of fostering health and well-being.
