Meet the Doctor
Dr. Susan Shala grew up in Wappingers Falls, NY. From a young age, she always wanted to be a pediatrician. She saw how the traditional medical route, though it has its place, can fail so many people, leaving them in pain and struggling for years on end. She saw how this affected close family members and wanted to seek out more holistic, full-body, root cause approaches to healing. Dr. Susan attended SUNY New Paltz, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology, then went on to earn her Master’s in Human Nutrition and Doctorate of Chiropractic from the University of Bridgeport in 2025.
She has always felt a passion for caring for children, although her ultimate goal and passion is to provide care to as many people as possible and aid everyone in reaching their life’s fullest potential, and get them to a state of thriving in optimal health. Her personal mission is to determine the root cause of someone’s ailments and to empower and educate the community on the true drug-free healing capabilities that our bodies hold.
During her chiropractic education, she served as an intern in the UB Clinic on campus, the Community Health Centers in Bridgeport, and in private office. Through these experiences, Dr. Susan was able to gain extensive knowledge in chiropractic techniques and diagnosis. Dr. Susan believes that true healing begins in a space where nurturing, creativity, and empathy are at the forefront of care. She is excited to continue her education throughout her career to gain more certifications and stay up-to-date with techniques in order to provide the best possible care to her patients.
