About West County Spine & Joint
Since 2014, West County Spine & Joint has been a well-respected, trusted chiropractic practice in Ellisville, Missouri. With many youth sports teams, running/triathlete clubs and teams within the area, Dr. Lauren Hendrix, founder, knew she wanted to support her local community and their active lifestyles.
Joined by her husband, Dr. Matt Davidson in November of 2019, their practice has continued to grow and is now joined by Dr. Shelby Hummel and three office support staff members. With Dr. Lauren, Dr. Matt, and Dr. Shelby being athletes themselves, West County Spine & Joint was built from a true passion and purpose of empowering people to manage their health and feel confident that they are designed to be healthy beings!
MEET THE TEAM
Carrie Mills, Front Desk Extraordinaire
Since June of 2022, Carrie Mills has been working as the Patient Success Coordinator – or as Dr. Matt likes to put it “Air Traffic Controller” because of her duties checking-in patients, updating the doctors on status, assisting with billing and insurance information, and more! Carrie loves working at WCSJ because of the positive, supportive environment among co-workers and patients.
Julie Hidritch, Office Manager, Insurance & Billing
Julie has been with the WCSJ team as the office manager since 2017. While Julie may work behind the scenes, she keeps the office running like a well-oiled joint processing insurance claims and payments, billing information, and supporting the team. Julie enjoys being able to work with the doctors and staff to help our patients, whether that is by relieving their pain or accomplishing their goals, or both!
