Hi, my name is Teagan, and I am a medical assistant at Vein-ity. Prior to holding this position, I worked for several other small medical companies such as The Visiting Nurses’ Association of Southeast Missouri and First Choice Chiropractic and Physical Therapy in Blytheville, Arkansas. Though I grew up in a small town in Southeast Missouri, I came to Kansas City in 2021 to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Missouri – Kansas City. During my time at UMKC, I was a Student Leader in Cru, a member of Psi Chi Psychology Honor Society, and minored in Criminal Justice and Criminology. Since graduating in May of 2024, I have been pursuing a Master’s degree in Counseling from Avila University. I plan to graduate from this program in December of 2027. In my free time, I enjoy reading fantasy and romance books, knitting, drinking tea, and cooking meals for myself and my friends. I am also trying to learn Spanish.
Hi, my name is Maegan, and I was born and raised in Basehor, Kansas. I bring nine years of experience in chiropractic care, where I’ve had the privilege of helping others improve their health and well-being. My passion for patient care and holistic wellness has been a driving force in my career. In my free time, I love spending quality time with my husband and our three amazing kids. Whether we’re out on the lake soaking up the sunshine, watching my kids play sports, or simply enjoying a family night together, I cherish every moment. I’m also a big sports fan—there’s nothing better than cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs and K-State Wildcats with family and friends! I believe in always learning and growing, whether it’s through new experiences, exploring different interests, or embracing challenges. Life is an adventure, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to make meaningful connections along the way.
My name is Ruben, I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, and completed my cardiac sonography training at The Aquarius Institute of Technology in Des Plaines, IL. While finishing at the top of my class, I began focusing on lower extremity vascular scanning. I believe the key to my success is patience and understanding. I strive to put my patients at ease with jokes and by answering any questions they have about the scanning process. This helps relieve the stress and anxiety often associated with the varicose vein struggle. Helping my patients feel comfortable is my favorite part of the job. In my free time, I enjoy fixing things around the house and riding my motorcycles.
