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
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.
