Meet Doctor Mooney:
A native of California, Dr. John Mooney was born in Los Angeles. He graduated as a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) in 1982. Mooney says “I enjoy helping people with musculoskeletal problems. My father-in-law was a chiropractor for over 50 years.” John has had plenty of inspiration with a father-in-law and brother-in-law in the field! He since has become a Qualified Medical Examiner (QME) and a Chiropractic Orthopedist, as well.
Dr. Mooney and his wife, Ellen, have lived in El Dorado County for over 36 years; moving here because they felt it was a great place to raise their two children. Matt, their oldest, is a history professor at Santa Barbara and their youngest son, Brent, is a chiropractor and joined his father’s practice here at Premier Healthcare. Ellen is very busy! She breeds black Andalusian horses. The Mooney’s share their home with Paris, their dog, and Chico their cat.
Mooney’s secret of success happens to be: He cares about people.
I enjoy my patients, that’s my secret. I was able to find a vocation that is a vacation — it’s really fun for me, says Mooney.
What is Dr. Mooney’s favorite way to relax? He enjoys going to the King’s games “when they are winning“, reading, playing tennis, going to the movies and collecting and sharing his favorite quotes.
Dr. Mooney recently compiled his most treasured quotes into a book entitled, “Treasures in Truth – Quotes to Nourish the Soul.” One maxim Mooney strives to live by is the Einstein quote:
“Try not to be a man of success, rather try to be a man of value.”
Other activities that keep Mooney very busy include:
- Member of the Placerville Rotary Club
- President of H.E.L.P. which provides shelter and food for people in need
Dr. Mooney says, “I have been truly blessed by God for a wonderful family, great friends, and a great area to live in.”
