Temple Crossing Chiropractic

Dr. Al Russell D.C.

Hi! I’m Al Russell. I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1995, after receiving a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education from the University of Calgary. I received certification as a Chiropractic Sports Physician in 1999. I enjoy working with families, especially children.

I grew up in Calgary and have been married to my wife, Kelly, since 2000. We have three children, Madison, Ty and Payton, who are our focus. I enjoy an active lifestyle, especially hockey in the winter and golf in the summer.

Dr. Gail Gdanski, D.C.

Hi. I’m Gail Gdanski and I have been in practice for 30 years. I graduated in 1981 and have lived chiropractic all my life. We have 16 chiropractors in my family. Our chiropractic history started with my dad and we have a nephew just about to start Chiropractic College next year!!

Chiropractic is my way of life and I really do eat, breath and sleep it. I am lucky because of 2 reasons: I get to help people change their lives without drugs and I’m a person who really loves her job.

My passions are my practice and my family. My husband is also a chiropractor and I have 2 kids, a daughter in university and a son who plays Junior A hockey. I also have 2 dogs and 2 cats all of whom keep me very busy.

Along with Therapeutic and Swedish Relaxation Massage, I am also trained in Jade Stone Hot Stone Massage. Some of the techniques I use in my everyday practice include hydrotherapy, lymphatic drainage and trigger point therapy.

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors with my fiancée going camping, hiking and snowboarding. Be it rain, shine or snow, I don’t let the Calgary weather deter me from my outdoor adventures.

Lisa

Hi everyone! My name is Lisa. I have been working with the doctors as their Chiropractic Assistant for almost 2 years. When you meet me, you will see how much fun I have at work! The thing I love most about the clinic is its warmth and caring, both for our patients and each other. It really is like my second family.

I have 2 step-kids, Kat and Ben, 2 furry cat children (Brennan and Onyx), and a husband, Daniel, whom I adore. All of them keep me hopping! When I do have some free time, I help with my step-daughter's Girl Guides group, teach belly dancing, and practice my martial arts. My other passion is playing in the local SCA group, of which I have been a member for over 15

years.

I have been living in Calgary for over 2 years, having moved from

Saskatoon. I love Calgary’s many summer festivals and activities

as well as being this close to the mountains where I can go

hiking, camping and rock climbing!

Hi, my name is Jo. I’ve lived in Calgary for the majority of my life. I am a single mom of two kids, Micheal and Ellie. They are my world and for them I went back to school. I received a certificate in the Medical Office Assistant course.

I used to be a patient of Temple Crossing Chiropractic and Massage years ago, and even with being new to the office I am pleased to be a part of the team here, helping our patients with their chiropractic care.
