Laura Sweley-Buettner D.C., C.K.T.P.

My name is Dr. Laura Sweley-Buettner and I was born and raised in Grand Island. I graduated from Grand Island Central Catholic in 2001. I did my undergraduate studies at Hastings College where I received a bachelors of arts in biology degree in 2005. In 2010 I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic with my doctorate in chiropractic.

I have always loved healthcare! Granted, I think I have a unique outlook on chiropractic as compared to my colleagues in that I had never been adjusted prior to going to chiropractic school and in fact I was two months into the program before I received my first adjustment. I have a very traditional medical background and I still work part-time at Mary Lanning Healthcare, where I have worked since 2004 as a phlebotomist. I think that gives me a very unique perspective in that while I draw a lot on traditional medicine, I also have extensive knowledge on chiropractic and how the two can co-exist. I am not afraid to refer patients out when something is beyond my area of expertise. 

I am married; my husbands name is Dale. He was also born and raised in Grand Island. We have one little girl whose name is Libby.

In my spare time I love to spend time with my family. I love to run, play tennis, crochet, cook, and I am learning more about neonatal diabetes. Some interesting tid bits about me are that in 2002 I did a medical missions trip to Australia to learn about their healthcare system and how it works. I am currently the president of the Mary Lanning Healthcare Council.
