Volunteer Spotlight- Dr. Patrick McDonnell

Dr. Patrick McDonnell is neurologically-based chiropractor who owns a practice in Aurora/Naperville area off of Route 59. Prior to becoming an M.D., Dr. Patrick was a gym/health teacher and enjoyed coaching at local high schools. He coached football at Waubonsie High School, softball at Joliet West, and basketball at Rosary High School. Patrick is engaged to be married next year and is an avid health enthusiast as he and his fiancée love participating in cross-fit.
