Our Doctors
Dr. Ross Batiste
Dr. Ross is a graduate of Marshall University, where he studied Psychology and
Exercise Physiology. He earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic (Florida campus) in 2014 and has been in practice for over 10 years. Driven by a deep interest in the human body and its functions, chiropractic was a natural path for Dr. Ross. His approach combines chiropractic care with exercise, proper nutrition, and healthy supplementation to provide comprehensive care for all his patients.
In addition to his chiropractic expertise, Dr. Ross has studied Traditional Chinese Medicine and is certified in Acupuncture. He also holds certifications in Fascial Movement Taping I & II through Rock Tape, which enhances his ability to stabilize and support the musculoskeletal system.
Outside of the office, Dr. Ross enjoys spending time with his wife, Amy, and their two children, Savannah and Joe, especially cooking together and having fun family time.
Dr. Jake Schalles
Dr. Jake studied Kinesiology at Temple University and worked as an Exercise Physiologist at a physical therapy clinic in Philadelphia prior to chiropractic school. He graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in December 2023. This work experience has led him to an approach to care that combines chiropractic care with therapeutic exercise to provide patients with lasting results.
Following graduation, Dr. Jake studied Traditional Chinese Medicine and became board certified to perform acupuncture as well as a Certified Medical Examiner which allows him to perform Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals.
Dr. Jake was introduced to chiropractic care in early high school when it helped him recover from a neck injury. This sparked an interest in holistic forms of health care to treat conditions without unnecessary drugs or surgical intervention.
With patient-centered treatment, Dr. Jake adjusts the full spine using Palmer Package adjusting, the various services and modalities in the office, and therapeutic exercise to provide comprehensive treatment to help the people in the Dunedin area get out of pain and return to doing the things they love!
When he’s not at the office, Dr. Jake enjoys weightlifting, golfing, and going to the beach.
Dr. Patricia Snair
Dr. Pat is one of the longest practicing licensed chiropractors in Dunedin. She has been providing comprehensive chiropractic care and wellness services to patients locally since graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1981. Her longstanding view is that chiropractic is health care, not disease care. Back N’ Balance takes a look at the individual as a whole and offers comprehensive wellness programs that are designed specifically for each patient’s needs to achieve and maintain vibrant good health.
Dr. Pat is active in many professional and community associations. She takes pride in conducting annual sports physicals for students of her alma maters, Dunedin Highlands Middle School and Dunedin High School. Donating proceeds back to the Athletic Departments is her way of giving back to the community. Her hobbies include bagpipes, sailing and shell collecting.
