Dr. Caroline Long, D.C. is a native Houstonian who has been practicing as a chiropractor since 2000. After graduating magna cum laude from Spring Woods High School, she attended UCLA and the Chinese University of Hong Kong where she studied Psychology. She returned to Houston and graduated with top honors from Texas Chiropractic College. Dr. Long remains active in the Houston community by staying involved with non-profit groups such as the San Jacinto Girl Scouts Council (Board member), Buffalo Bayou Partnership (past Board member), and Texas Dragon Boat Association, which she co-founded. In 2005, she was distinguished as one of the Five Outstanding Young Houstonians and Five Outstanding Young Texans. She holds advanced certification in acupuncture, chiropractic pediatrics, and nutrition. She is one of only 4 chiropractors certified in Pregnancy & Pediatric Chiropractic in Houston. Her knowledge of alternative medicine and ability to easily communicate these concepts makes her sought after as a doctor and speaker. She lives in the Afton Oaks area with her husband, Patrick, and their daughters Victoria and Katia.
Says Dr. Long: "When I was 15 years old I was diagnosed with scoliosis by my pediatrician. Years later I met a petite chiropractor who told me that had I started regular chiropractic care when I was 15, my spine would probably be a lot straighter. Ever since then I wanted to work with young patients and educate them and their parents on the benefits of chiropractic care at a young age. Nowadays I also love working with pregnant moms whose doctors tell them that having pelvis, back, or neck pain when pregnant is normal and something they'll just have to live with. That is not true - there are so many ways we can offer natural pain relief."

At a young age Dr. Yeager knew he wanted to help people improve their quality of life by providing them medical care. During his undergraduate studies he enrolled in a pre-medical program to help him establish a foundation on which to build his knowledge and skills of becoming a doctor.
He wanted to become a general practitioner, but quickly realized that prescribing medications did not always alleviate the root of the problem. Dr. Yeager began to research alternate methods of health care and quickly discovered chiropractic and acupuncture as legitimate disciplines that worked not only on helping people feel better but on helping them achieve wellness. His experience with holistic medicine and his compassion for others make him a highly respected doctor.

"I've been working at West University Wellness since July 2008 and I love it. As a native Houstonian working in the medical field for 10 years in both the private and public sector, I've seen how some clinicians can become desensitized to treating the sick or injured. I've never been anywhere so friendly, all of my co-workers are caring and considerate, the doctors really do care about their patients and it shows. From the attention to detail, to the accommodations we make for our patients, and even the thoughtful birthday cards we send that make our patients feel welcome and special. I think it's the little things that count. We find the time to ensure that extra step is taken."

"Working at West U Wellness has been a pleasure not only because the staff is spectacular but mainly because I get the opportunity to interact with patients and contribute in a meaningful way to bettering their well-being. The doctors really do care about the patients and work with the therapists and office team directly to attend to each patient's individual needs. That's what sets West U Wellness apart from other chiropractic offices, I love how at the end of the day I have a great sense of satisfaction because I've helped someone be more conscious about living a healthier lifestyle."
