Our Team

Chiropractor

Dr. Dustin Scott is the driving force behind The Connect Chiropractic in Ames, IA, where he passionately helps individuals and families reconnect with their health through neurologically-based chiropractic care and the latest non-invasive technologies.

Born and raised in the close-knit town of Nevada, Iowa, Dr. Dustin discovered his calling to serve others early in life. He holds a degree in Health and Wellness from Purdue University Global, where his journey into chiropractic began after personally experiencing the life-changing benefits of chiropractic care during his high school and college years.

He earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life Chiropractic College West, one of the nation’s top chiropractic institutions. There, he developed a profound understanding of the body’s natural ability to heal and the central role of the nervous system in overall health and function.
