Though he always was interested in science, Dr. Scott’s passion had been art. He had a turning point moment when he became a chiropractic patient in his twenties. For many years, he had been dealing with a lot of pain and health issues. At the time, Dr. Scott Haggerty and his wife had gone on a trip to Disney because he was going to be an animator. During their time at Disney, they went into the animation area. His wife said, “If you have to choose what you want to do for the rest of your life and your career and the impact that you want to make, is it an animator or a chiropractor? Dr. Scott realized at that moment that chiropractic was his calling. “I needed to be someone who was making a positive impact in other people’s lives through chiropractic the way it made an impact in mine.”
