Dr. Thomas grew up in Wadsworth, Ohio. Watching both of his parents struggle with health issues from a young age, he took an interest in living a healthy lifestyle through nutrition and exercise. In high school, after the passing of his mother, he began to explore healthcare more, and after a car accident, found himself for the first time in a Chiropractic office. While there, he began to discover something that would change the trajectory of his life forever. He learned about the ability of the body to function optimally by being properly aligned. This was the missing link, he felt, that was never talked about in health care. The concept of correcting causes of problems rather than masking symptoms, which is what chiropractic care was founded upon, was something he wanted to share to help empower people to live their best life.

He received his degree in Human Biology and Microbiology from Ohio State in 2008, completing all of his pre-chiropractic course work. While finishing school, he met his wife in a volleyball class, and to this day, they have lived happily ever after.

Together, they opened RFC in December in 2013, becoming the youngest private chiropractic clinic owners in Ohio. Years later, they are still directly involved in patient care, and love seeing people come alive by aligning their health. Dr. Thomas has completed advanced training in structurally corrective chiropractic care, which helps to quickly and effectively align the spine to help the body function at its best. He also has completed advanced training courses in nutrition, detoxification, exercise physiology, and physical therapy. He has hosted Aligned with Life Radio, on 98.9FM and 880AM, since 2014. Other than spending time with his wife and children, his biggest passion is helping people reach their optimal health potential.

Dr. Vincler was born and raised near Pittsburgh, PA. Received his Psychology degree from The College of Wooster in Wooster, OH where he also was a four-year letter winner and co-captain of Wooster’s 1994 World Series Baseball Team. He earned his Chiropractic degree in 2001 from Life University – College of Chiropractic in Marietta, GA.

With over 18 years of experience (12+ in Columbus, OH), Dr. Vincler loves working with patients who want to reach higher with their health goals; and enjoys being part of the RFC team – as a leader in the field of corrective care offices – that focuses on the goal of correcting spinal curves.

When he’s not helping patients in the office, you’ll find Dr. Vincler with his wife Julie … exploring Powell and Dublin’s newest walking trails around Bridge Park, running up and down the court with his weekly basketball group and rooting on Cleveland and Columbus sports teams (but still loyal to his Pittsburgh Steelers).

Tristan and her husband, Dr. Lee Thomas opened the practice in December of 2013. They have a huge passion for helping people by restoring not only their health but their hope and love for life by delivering the five essentials of MaxLiving.

Tristan graduated from Ohio State, where she received a bachelors degree in economics and business. She is a certified health coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. She received additional training to coach clients in living a ketogenic lifestyle.

When she is not in the office, she and Lee loves spending time and staying active with their two little boys, Liam and Landon.

Sam started as a patient in our office over a year ago. She initially came in with severe neck pain and headaches caused from years of playing soccer. She is now pain free, headache free, and can continue playing the sport she loves.

Sam recently got engaged to her fiancé Josh, they moved into a new home together, and will eventually want to start a family together. She knew it was time for a career change and when she heard about the opportunity to join our team, she knew this was the change she was looking for.

Sam is our new patient liaison and handles our in patient process to ensure each person who walks through our door feels welcomed and apart of our family.

Murphy is a Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier that loves to swim in his swimming pool at home; but in the office, his activity of choice seems to be giving everyone that welcoming look to gently scratch him behind his ears. If he’s not doing that – or trying to get someone to play tug-of-war with his red toy … you’ll find him catching a well-deserved nap.
