Silverdale Health and Injury Center | Meet The Doctors

Dr. Richie Dinubilo, D.C.

Dr. Richie Dinubilo, D.C.

Dr. Richie is a graduate from Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward CA. At Life West his studies consisted of anatomy, physiology, neurology, diagnosis, child development, chiropractic philosophy and technique. Before attending Life West he attended California State University of Long Beach. His studies at CSULB were in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Fitness. Studies were focused on the human body and how it reacts to different movements and stresses. Fitness has always been a big part of Dr. Richie's life. He truly believes that a healthy person is active and well adjusted.

Dr. Richie grew up in the small town of Modesto CA. While in Modesto he was very active in sports and the outdoors. He was a Boy Scout and earned his Eagle. While in Boy Scouts he learned what it really meant to help other people so that they can have a better life. In High School he played water polo and was a swimmer. He was introduced to chiropractic after a shoulder injury from a water polo game. After he began chiropractic care his shoulder started to feel better. Not only was his shoulder feeling better but he noticed he was able to swim faster and harder. With Chiropractic care he started to notice more changes than his shoulder feeling better. He noticed that his headaches that he had for years were no longer a problem. He was able to sleep through the night without waking up and his overall energy levels were increasing. After discussing with his chiropractor what chiropractic was about, he knew right then that was what he wanted to do. He has dedicated his life to helping others become well. It is his true belief that everyone deserves freedom from pain and illness so that they can live life at its fullest potential.

Dr. Zachery Andrich, D.C.

Dr. Zachery Andrich, D.C.

Dr. Gemmer has been attending the most advanced Neurological Integration System seminars for eight years.  And every time he did so, a certain young, smart practitioner was always there too, Zachery Andrich.

In 2021, Dr. Zach joined the Gemmer Wellness team. Besides being among the most highly trained NIS practitioners in the world, Dr. Zach is also an acupuncturist. But in case you don?t like needles, fear not! He doesn?t use acupuncture and he definitely doesn?t use needles. Because of how acupuncture credentials are set up, he isn?t technically a doctor. But he certainly is an NIS expert.

Dr. Zach grew up in Anacortes, the son of an Alaska fisherman dad and a celebrity florist mom. At an early age, he knew he wanted to help people get and stay healthy, and has now been following his purpose and studying the best of natural health care for well over ten years.

Clients love his soft spoken but knowledgable ways. They can count on him to explain what is going on in language they can understand. 

We join these many clients in welcoming him to the Silverdale - Bremerton area and hope he makes our community his lifelong home.
