Our Lead Physicians

Dr. Michael ("Dr. Bud") Budincich, DC, QME

Dr. Michael Budincich, more commonly known to his patients as "Dr. Bud", has been an evolving Doctor of Chiropractic for over 30 years. It was the hand of destiny that drafted the course of Budincich's professional life. His initial plan was to be a dentist and he pursued that goal with the help of a Track and Field scholarship at USC.

Looking back, Budincich says, "It was a life-changing experience that altered my focus." During heavy training as a shot-putter, he suffered a back injury which seriously compromised his athletic career.
