Family Feel, Extravagant Care at Parker Integrative Health

“I felt like I was losing my son,” Jennifer Dutilly describes the terrifying feeling she had when her son was diagnosed with ADHD. “He was starting to become nonverbal. He felt like he couldn’t stand in front of a classroom or talk or even ask his teacher anything.”

She ended up taking him to Parker Integrative Health where they began brain mapping. After about 20 visits she says, “It was really amazing to see a visual of what his brain was doing when he was doing certain activities. They had it so pinpointed to the certain waves in his brain that needed to be worked on, that it completely changed his life.”

Now, her son is 11 years old with a 3.4 GPA and the confidence to speak up in class once more. 

“As a patient, there’s a very warm feeling when you walk in the office. You’re immediately greeted,” Jennifer shares. 

Dr. Paola Porrone, DC, BCN, CFMP, FIBFN-CND, Licensed Chiropractor loves the brain and neuro system. She and her husband, Dr. Robert Birch, DC, CCEP, BCIM, CFMP built Parker Integrative Health from the ground up 20 years ago by knocking on doors. Their office now specializes in chiropractic care, neurofeedback and regenerative medicine. This three-pronged approach addresses aspects for patients physically, neurologically and metabolically.

“The biggest thing is number one, there’s always hope. If you’ve been told you have to have a surgery or you have to do this or you have to live with this, we’re not comfortable with that. We’re going to do everything we can to find a solution for you,” Dr. Paola emphasizes the motivation behind their practice.

They believe in serving their patients in a way that helps advocate for their health. At every turn, Dr. Paola believes that hope rests within the phrase, “we can try.” This is one of the biggest reasons Jennifer returned to them in 2023 due to her own medical needs.

“I was diagnosed in November 2023 with stage 2 breast cancer. And I immediately thought of this clinic. I thought, I need to sit down and completely redo my nutrition. When you hear a cancer diagnosis, everything feels out of your control and so much information is thrown at you.” She shares, “I just thought, this is the first place I wanted to land. So, immediately Dr. Paola got me set up with nutrition.”

“From there, I was able to have a double mastectomy and get rid of all my cancer, so I was lucky in that regard. But what came with that was five reconstruction surgeries that were super tough. Each time you have anesthesia, it takes 12 months for it to get out of your body and I had five surgeries last year in 2024.”

Jennifer shares that Parker Integrative Health was an amazing complement to her cancer treatment plan and surgery recovery. She explains, “They really worked with therapies, supplements, nutrition, making sure I was in alignment, really helping me regain my body again… they fine tuned it for me. It wasn’t a cookie-cutter approach to medicine. It was a very individualized process and journey that they were willing to work with.”

That is what gave Jennifer the passion to work at Parker Integrative Health where she now is the Director of Clinical Growth. She and Dr. Paola also describe how intuitive Dr. Robert is within his practice. Dr. Paola says, “He sees, hears and feels everything!”

Dr. Paola is an explorer of medicine and recovery. “We just keep discovering new things, educating ourselves.” Just to highlight a few, Parker Integrative Health provides decompression, PEMF therapy, shockwave therapy, and neurofeedback. Their approach is holistic and comprehensive. To book a consultation call 303.841.9565 or visit www.ParkerIntegrativeHealth.com
