Meet Our Team
Dr. Ryan Coogan – Clinic Owner
Dr. Coogan graduated from Washington State University in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. He went on to attend Life University in Atlanta, GA and Life Chiropractic College West in San Francisco, CA where he received his Doctorate in Chiropractic in 2001. Upon graduating, he had the privilege of being an Associate Doctor in one of the biggest and most successful clinics in the country located in Everett, WA. In 2004, Dr. Coogan took the guidance and mentorship he gained from his experience in that office and opened his own clinic, Northwest Family Chiropractic, in Shoreline. He recently opened a new clinic in Kirkland and looks forward to serving the community.
Dr. Coogan’s practice philosophy is centered around the notion that a person’s health is a direct reflection of the choices they make throughout their life. How you eat, how you think, how you exercise, how you take care of your spine and posture…YOUR LIFESTYLE…all determine the level of health a person experiences. He hopes to educate and motivate people to make healthier decisions that will have a direct impact on their life. Dr. Coogan makes it a priority to explain everything in advance, provide options and choices for treatment, answer questions, and communicate in a way that builds a strong relationship and level of trust with his patients.
Dr. Coogan lives in Kirkland with his wife, Erica, and their young daughter, Chloe. In his spare time he enjoys running, golfing, being active in the community, traveling, and spending time with his family and friends.
