Dr. Koolman's path to Franklin Chiropractic is truly unique. He was raised in the Caribbean Islands and when he was just graduating from high school his mother was involved in a serious automobile accident. Due to the neck injury that she sustained in the accident, she sought medical care in the US. It was while receiving chiropractic treatments that made her respect and admire the profession, especially since it was nonsurgical and involved no drugs. She shared this enthusiasm with her son. Dr. Koolman then entered his profession with his personal desire to enrich the lives of others, graduating from Texas Chiropractic College in 1990. This desire to help others is from thorough chiropractic care, which is broadly known to be a drug-free and nonsurgical form of treatment. Dr. Koolman loves learning about other cultures, especially their music, loves sports and travel. He is also fluent in 4 languages.
