Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Jayson Milner
Hi Dr. Jayson, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My journey into chiropractic began in my teenage years, after experiencing a series of sports-related injuries, including a football injury that sidelined me for an entire season. The physical and emotional challenges I faced pushed me to explore alternative health solutions, which ultimately transformed my life and ignited my passion for chiropractic.
Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I attended the University of Florida beginning in 1998, where I graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Science. Following my undergraduate studies, I pursued a Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the National University of Health Sciences in Illinois, graduating in 2006.
In the first seven years of my career, I had the privilege of working alongside esteemed mentors who instilled in me a commitment to compassionate, results-driven care. During my years in practice, I’ve helped over 5,300 new patients improve their health and well-being, and my success has also led to opportunities to share insights through radio and television interviews.
The culmination of my journey and experience inspired me to establish Margate Chiropractic Health Center®. Here, I’m able to fully integrate my expertise and vision for a healthier community. Our commitment to empowering patients through both treatment and education continues to drive the work we do each day.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road to where I am today has certainly not been smooth. I began my career with seven years as an associate, often working over 60 hours a week. The practice I worked at saw over 100 patients a day, which made it a physically and mentally demanding environment. However, it taught me valuable lessons about compassion, resilience, and dedication to patient care.
When I decided to open my own practice in 2012 in Brickell, Florida, I encountered significant challenges due to my limited business experience. Securing financing was especially difficult; I applied to over 25 banks, each one turning me down because I lacked prior business ownership. Finally, one bank gave me a chance, providing the loan I needed to open my practice.
In those early days, managing and growing a team while handling the emotional pressures of business ownership was a steep learning curve. Each struggle, however, helped shape me into a more effective leader, and I’m grateful for the growth these challenges brought along the way.
We’ve been impressed with Margate Chiropractic Health Center, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Margate Chiropractic Health Center® is more than just a chiropractic clinic; we’ve built a space focused on compassionate, patient-centered care with proven results. What truly sets us apart is our commitment to a welcoming, supportive environment. Our team is carefully selected and continuously trained to provide the highest level of care and customer service. We also come together to pray twice a day for our patients and each other, reinforcing our gratitude and dedication to service above self.
We are actively learning and growing together, with advanced weekly staff training sessions and feedback from expert consultants to ensure we maintain the highest standards of care. Our location within a hospital allows us to collaborate seamlessly with other healthcare professionals, giving our patients access to a full range of services. Within our office, we work alongside orthopedic and pain management specialists equipped with advanced C-ARM technology.
Additionally, we proudly offer internships for chiropractic students from all over the country, giving them valuable hands-on experience and mentorship.
At Margate Chiropractic Health Center®, we strive to maintain a genuinely caring environment that supports not only physical health but overall well-being. Every interaction is an opportunity to serve with integrity, compassion, and excellence. We believe in creating a “ripple of wellness”—each patient’s progress inspires and encourages healthier lives within our community and beyond.
Who else deserves credit in your story?
I’ve been fortunate to have some exceptional mentors and supporters throughout my career, but Dr. Alan Rousso stands out as one of the most influential figures in my journey. As a practice management consultant, Dr. Rousso was with me for the first 15 years of my career. His guidance was invaluable, teaching me everything from managing a team to handling the complexities of running a successful high volume practice. He instilled in me the importance of maintaining high standards and not tolerating anything less than excellence, especially in areas of staff management.
Dr. Rousso taught me how to build, maintain, and even sell a practice, and he showed me what it takes to start from scratch all over again if needed. His mentorship helped shape my understanding of the business side of chiropractic care, and he played an instrumental role in the growth and success of Margate Chiropractic Health Center®. His influence is something I carry forward daily, and I owe a great deal of my success and gratitude to his guidance.
I believe that true success in providing meaningful patient care starts with a growth mindset centered on humility and a constant desire to learn. Being coachable and open to feedback has been foundational in my approach, guiding me to continuously expand my knowledge through seminars, mentorship, postgraduate education, and credentials. I even reach out to successful individuals in various fields, inviting them to lunch to learn from their insights and experiences.
The journey itself has taught me so much, and I’ve come to appreciate both the achievements and the challenges along the way. This mindset not only shapes the way we operate at Margate Chiropractic Health Center® but also ensures we continually enhance and refine the care we offer. Our commitment to ongoing learning, training, and quality improvement means our patients can trust that they are receiving care rooted in the latest knowledge and highest standards.
