Keith C  Patzer, D.C., passed to heaven on November 23, 2008. He was one of the last of our forefathers that forged the way for upper cervical chiropractic. Having trained under Drs. B.J. Palmer, Bill Blair, and John Grostic, he was inspired  and awed by the ATLAS. His father-in-law, Dr. Burt Chapman, led him to the Grostic technique of precision upper cervical work he so loved. He in turn inspired his son and granddaughter, which led to four generations of Grostic doctors.

Dr. Patzer served as a leader in his profession through his state association, the Grostic technique association, and his patients. He was a man of principles that were founded upon his service in WWII and chiropractic.

As you give, give with your heart of “sticking to your principles that you so believe in."  Keith’s request was that people not honor his life with flowers but give to upper cervical research that can save lives.
