Meet the Team

Dr. Vince Baugher

When I was just a 19 year-old doing volunteer work in Israel, I was told my mom may not be alive by the time I got back. What else could I do but pray for a miracle? Epilepsy! Several severe grand mal seizures every day for months, and getting worse. A friend of Mom’s referred her to a chiropractor in town. The results weren’t immediate, but they were dramatic. Over the course of about a year, he brought her back to virtually perfect health. By the time I got back from a couple of years of service with the Baha’i Faith in east Africa, she was not only alive, but thriving. 19 years later, I still have a wonderful, healthy mother, thanks to chiropractic! 

Dr. Charles Laughlin

I was first introduced to chiropractic thanks to my dad, Dr. William Laughlin. While he was in chiropractic school and upon graduation, he would adjust my spine to help me stay healthy. I would bounce back quickly from illnesses, thanks to each adjustment! Following in my dad’s footsteps didn’t come right away. I attended Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Print Journalism. After graduation, I worked as a sportswriter for two years at the Hobbs News-Sun in Hobbs, New Mexico. It was a fantastic job, but due to the goals my wife Kathleen and I had at that time, I decided to take a new career path. We talked about me going back to school to become a chiropractor, and the rest is history! 

Dee Tabb

I am the Practice Representatives for the Clinic. I plan and coordinate health fairs and special events, handle marketing, advertising and public relations, and teach our class called “How To Stay Young Your First 100 Years”. I also occasionally help patients with various therapies. The staff here is the most amazingly positive and caring group of people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. It touches my heart every day to witness people’s journey towards health, healing and relief from pain. I look forward to meeting you, being of service and watching your healing journey.

Melissa Kassales

I assist in the business office. I love talking with our patients, hearing about what brought them to us and witnessing the progress they are making. I didn’t know much about chiropractic care until one of my children was diagnosed with several autoimmune disorders. After years of testing, research and medications a friend convinced her to see a chiropractor. Not only was chiropractic care able to help manage her pain, it also helped her through difficult pregnancies, pneumonia, kidney stones, and more. She now manages her disease with diet and chiropractic care and is currently training for a Triathlon. I can not even begin to tell you the difference this has made in her quality of life! Please come in and meet our amazing team!

Marissa Shaw

My interest in fitness, exercise and health started as a student and then progressed to a profession as I became an instructor, coach, program director, general manager and trainer (of various ages, activities and facilities). I have been a Personal Trainer for many years after receiving my Advanced Physical Fitness Specialist and Water Aerobics Instructor Certification from The Cooper Institute for Aerobic Research in Dallas.

My career goals were to utilize my God-given talents, abilities and life experiences to serve others. I sought to work for a company with high integrity and solid core values that supports its employees to grow its business, as well as serves the patients and the community. I feel so blessed and love working at SDCC as a Therapy Technician and at the Front Desk.

Lorena Morazan de Arbizu

My position includes both Front Desk and Therapy. I have awesome co-workers. It has been a blessing to have found Dr. Baugher and SDCC. My husband and I are both patients here. Our chiropractic treatments have decreased our pain and given both of us a much better quality of life. Working for SDCC gives me the opportunity to care for others in a way I haven’t done before. It is so fulfilling to see patients improve as they go through their treatments.

Sydney Jaramillo

I am the Office Manager. I am in charge of making sure all the moving cogs of our practice run smoothly. I am tucked away in an office, but you may see me giving new patients tours of the office or stopping by at the front desk. I am continually inspired by our patients and absolutely love working with this amazing staff!

Crissy Henry

I am the HIPAA Compliance Manager and Technical Support Manager. I ensure that all your patient information stays safe and secure and that our computer systems and sign in technology are working properly.

I am proud to be a member of The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center team! There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing the healing of people who are in pain, and I look forward to supporting you through your journey to a better quality of living!

Tracy Rawlings

I’m part of the front office team and will be the person that helps you get checked in and out, and schedule appointments. The staff here truly care about our patients and want to give you the very best care that can be provided. I enjoy seeing others feel better and I love being part of our chiropractic team.

Ryan Robinson

You'll see me around the clinic helping you at the front desk or assisting with your therapies.
Working for a chiropractor is something I never imagined I would be doing. But after seeing the joy on patients faces, when they finally experience relief, it's hard to imagine doing anything else. I look forward to meeting each of you and helping you navigate your healing journey in any way that I can.

Backster

Hi, my name is Backster, the Chiropractic Panda! I am the cute and cuddly mascot for the clinic! My job is to go around town with our clinic team to educate people on the wonderful healing benefits of chiropractic care. Well, actually, they do the educating, and I just look cute and take pictures with kids and other people. *Please let the clinic know if you would like me to make an appearance at your next employee health fair or school event for teachers and students.
