Dr. Hart Haymaker

Dr. Hart Haymaker

Upper Cervical & Family Chiropractor

Dr. Hart was born in Nachitoches and raised in the piney hills of North LA. After receiving his Bachelor of Science degree from LA Tech he decided that it was time to travel and explore the great country he lived in. He spent time in Yorktown, VA, Winter Park, CO, Maui, HI, finally settling in Austin, TX. Here he would meet his future wife Kara, a UT grad and die hard Texan!

Dr. Hart went on to earn his doctorate at Parker University in Dallas, TX and practiced as a Chiropractor for 5 years in Pensacola, FL. There he focused on mastering the chiropractic adjustment to give the highest quality of care possible to the people of Northwest Florida and starting a family with his wife Kara. After having two beautiful children in Florida the call to come home to Texas to be closer to old friends and family was strong and the decision was made to move back.

Dr. Hart, Kara and their two children Huck and Piper now live in Georgetown, TX. As a family they love swimming, exploring the many hike and bike trails in north central Texas and dining out on the Georgetown Square. They strive to be an example of the Chiropractic lifestyle and value their family’s health and wellness above all else.

Dr. Naroth Ramos

Dr. Naroth Ramos

Upper Cervical & Family Chiropractor

Dr. Naroth is a graduate from Life Chiropractic West, completing her Doctorate of Chiropractic degree with Cum Laude in Hayward, CA. She completed her undergraduate degree from the University of Tennessee Chattanooga with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. After graduating from chiropractic college she stayed in Northern California and focused on women’s health, working with prenatal and postpartum women. She received her certifications in pelvic floor therapy from the Herman and Wallace Institute. She also received her certifications in prenatal and postpartum rehabilitation from Bellies Inc. Helping others has been a calling ever since she was a child and Chiropractic was an unexpected choice, since she comes from a family line of medical doctors, nurses and surgeons. However, due to her creativity and thinking “outside the box” nature, she was pulled to the Healing Arts of Chiropractic and has been practicing for the past 17 years.

When she is not helping others, she spends most of all her time with her husband and 3 kids. About 4 years ago, Dr. Naroth and her family decided to embark on a new journey and moved the entire family to Austin, TX. It has been an amazing journey ever since.

Dr. Vince Methot

Dr. Vince Methot

Upper Cervical & Family Chiropractor

Dr. Vince Methot is a dedicated and highly skilled chiropractor with over a decade of hands-on experience in delivering exceptional patient care, with a specialized focus on upper cervical chiropractic and full spine adjustments. His holistic and neurologically centered approach to healing is grounded in the foundational principle that the brain controls everything, philosophy that drives his commitment to restoring and optimizing the body’s innate ability to heal itself.

Dr. Vince Methot began his academic journey at Brigham Young University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 2006. His engineering background cultivated a deep understanding of complex systems, which later became a valuable foundation for his transition into chiropractic care – a field that similarly requires precision, systemic thinking, and an understanding of how the body’s intricate systems interconnect.

Driven by a desire to make a more direct and meaningful impact on people’s health and quality of life, Dr. Vince Methot pursued his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life University, graduating in 2016. There, he developed a passion for upper cervical chiropractic care, a technique that focuses on the alignment of the atlas and axis vertebrae at the top of the spine – critical areas that influence the function of the central nervous system.

Since entering clinical practice, Dr. Vince has become known for his gentle yet effective adjustments, blending his technical background with a compassionate, patient-centered approach. His treatments are not just about alleviating pain but about restoring neurological integrity, improving posture, and enhancing overall well-being.

Beyond his work in the clinic, Dr. Vince is a devoted father who treasures time spent with his children. He is also actively involved in ministry work, reflecting his strong values and commitment to serving others in all areas of life. In his free time, he enjoys the rhythm and connection of ballroom dancing, which he finds to be both energizing and restorative – a perfect metaphor for the balance and harmony he seeks to help his patients achieve.

Dr. Vince is a practitioner who blends science, soul, and service. Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic discomfort or looking to achieve peak performance and wellness, his care offers a transformative path toward a healthier, more aligned life
