A dream that was put on hold for five years is now coming to fruition for Jesse Politowski, DC, a 2013 Logan University graduate.
The Logan clinician is starting a new chapter of his life in Vietnam, where he plans to open a chiropractic clinic. “After I graduated from Logan, I worked in Southeast Asia for six years,” he said in a Logan blog post. “But during a trip back to the U.S., the pandemic hit. I always wanted to go back. I love it there, and it’s been my dream to start a practice.”
Politowski said in the country that is home to approximately 98 million people, there are only 15 legal doctors of chiropractic, most of whom are based in Ho Chi Minh City. With plans to live and work in the city of Thanh Hoa City, three hours south of Hanoi, Politowski will bring chiropractic awareness and care to many who have never had access.
He plans to start as a general family practice and eventually hire associates and build a clinic system. “I would love to have preceptors so they too can experience it,” he said.
Armed with a portable table and two suitcases, Politowski said he is more excited than nervous about the life change. “There is such a need in that area, and I’ve seen how receptive they are to chiropractic care.”
That’s not all he’ll be bringing abroad. A background in business administration and marketing as well as 10 years of clinical experience both in Vietnam and in Logan Health Centers has provided him the tools and knowledge needed to provide quality care but also the ability to educate patients and run a business.
While Politowski has already achieved many milestones both personally and professionally, he is thrilled at the prospect of a new challenge. “I feel like I haven’t hit my prime yet, and I didn’t want this dream to die,” he said. “I look forward to helping as many people as I can and grow young chiropractors.”
