Hi, I'm Dr. Ron Akers. Welcome to my home page... well, mine and Tasha's (short for Natasha). She is a two-year-old Golden Retriever who pretty much "rules the roost" around here. A better friend, no man may claim.

Capt.
Ron Akers
Undergraduate studies at Marshall University, Huntington, West Virginia and at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) Degree, 1976, Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. I received my Doctor of Medicine (MD) Degree in 1982.
My involvement in law-enforcement began in 1968 when I graduated from the Ohio Highway Patrol Academy in Columbus, Ohio. I served as a Trooper for over five-years, resigning my commission in 1973 to return to college and pursue the Doctor of Chiropractic Degree. Upon moving to Cleveland, Tennessee, I joined the sheriff's reserve officer program. I have served under two sheriffs and I now serve under one of the finest law enforcement officers I have ever known, Sheriff Daniel R. Gilley. At the present time I am recovering from injuries sustained in a serious auto accident which limits me to clerical and supervisory duties only.
I
moved to Cleveland, Tennessee in 1976 and opened my practice of Chiropractic.
My wife Lucinda has worked with me in my practice since we opened our doors.
Akers Chiropractic Offices grew to include clinics in Chattanooga as well
as Cleveland. At this time I am not active in practice, also as a result
of the automobile accident in February, 1995. I am proud of the health
care I rendered my patients and I consider each and every patient a friend.
We
have three grown children and one granddaughter. Our oldest is Doug, age
29. He is a computer service technician for the Tennessee Valley Authority
in Chattanooga. Katrina, 26, is an attorney and lives in Niceville, Florida.
Our youngest is Andrea at 25 years of age. Andrea lives here in Cleveland
and works as a Communications Officer with the Bradley County Emergency
Communications Service. Andrea is a real whiz with computers and seldom
asks Dad's help with computing problems anymore.
And let's not forget our 6-year old granddaughter Lindsey, who enjoys visiting "Grand mama" and "Papa Doc" and loves to ride the horses.
We live on a small farm less than a mile from the Cleveland City Limit. We share our home with two "dawgs"...Natasha, the Golden Retriever and Sable, Lucinda's Pomeranian. Sable is beautiful and looks sweet and cuddly, but she is really four-pounds of bad attitude. Her growl sends 70-pound Natasha running for cover. She loves Lucinda though, and Lucinda loves her. That's all that really matters.
Outside
we have two cats...Teagan and Spooky. They keep the mouse population in
the barn under control. Lucinda has two horses, Socks and Delila. Socks
is a 21-year old American Quarter Horse and Delila is a 15-year old Arabian
mare.
Candies Creek, a 30-foot wide stream, flows through our farm and we enjoy the wildlife that populates the banks. Beavers, Groundhogs, and an occasional black bear can be seen along the water as well as migrating and local waterfowl.
This is a wonderful
place to call home.
