Dr. Danene M. Saggau DC, BCAO

There I was, lying in the hospital with pneumonia for the 6th time–and I wasn’t even 3 years old. It was at age 3 I received my first chiropractic adjustment from my father, who was in his 1st year of chiropractic school.

Everything changed after that first adjustment. I never needed medication or antibiotics for asthma and allergies again nor did I ever end up in the hospital again with complicating pneumonia.

I worked in my father’s office for 4 summers as a teenager. Day in and day out, I saw miracles before my eyes and after much prayerful consideration I determined I wanted to be a chiropractor and to be able to help people just like he did. It was the best decision I could have ever made.

Dr. Rhea Claire bucasas, dc

Dr. Bucasas grew up in Tacoma and after graduating from Seattle University, she attended Chiropractic school at Life West Chiropractic School in Hayward, California.  Dr. Bucasas always knew she wanted to be in the business of helping people get healthy and improve their quality of life and was on her way to medical school.  However, in undergrad, she connected with a Chiropractor that ultimately changed her course of study to Chiropractic and wellness care, instead of sick care.
 
When Dr. Bucasas is not in the office, she loves spending time with her husband, daughter and the rest of her family.  She is passionate about educating people how to heal, get healthy and stay healthy.  Dr. Bucasas has seen that healing can happen at any age, and so enjoys taking care of everyone from newborns to the elderly and everyone in between.  Additionally, she is Webster certified and loves to help women throughout their pregnancy, and post-partum.  Dr. Bucasas is excited to be a part of the Lake Meridian Family!

Denise Ornburn
OFFICE MANAGER

Denise is Lake Meridian Chiropractic’s rock star!  The first thing you will notice is her enthusiasm and energy.  She loves helping people and it shows.  You might find her answering phones, charting in the back office, doing patient therapy, mentoring staff or fixing a broken light, computer or printer. There is nothing she can’t do!

Denise was born in California and moved to Kent when she was in elementary school.  She originally worked for Puget Sound Energy before staying at home to raise her three children.  She became a patient of Lake Meridian Chiropractic over 30 years ago after meeting Dr. Saggau in their old neighborhood.  When the kids were grown and gone, she joined Lake Meridian Chiropractic to manage it.

In her spare time, she loves being outdoors, camping, going to the Seahawks games with her husband and spending time with her family and grandchildren.  

REBECCA MELDRUM
Chiropractic Assistant

We are so grateful to have Rebecca on our team. No matter where you find her,  whether at the front desk or in the back office, she is ready to help. She greets  everyone with kindness and you can be assured to receive the individualized care you  deserve. 

She likes working at Lake Meridian Chiropractic because “Chiropractic care has made a  big impact in my life as someone who has suffered with migraines and TMJ issues. I  am thrilled to be able to be a small part of our patient’s care to help them feel better  too.” 

She is currently going to school at Highline College to get a BS in Integrated Design.  Being the oldest of 5, her family is a big part of her life. She enjoys being active in her  church and doing good while helping where she can. In her spare time she enjoys  reading, crocheting, listening to music, and playing card games as well as participating  in outdoor activities like archery, shooting rifles, flying her stunt kite and camping with  family.

VICTORIA CAMERON
Billing Specialist/Chiropractic Technician

Victoria is a wonderful addition to our billing team. Her unique gifting, combined with  her patient and calm demeanor, has proven to be the secret to her getting the job  done! She easily explains insurance benefits to our patients while at the same time can  solve complex billing issues. 

Victoria grew up in Kent, graduated from Kentridge High School and then attended  Concordia University in Nebraska where she graduated with degrees in music, English  and a minor in business. 

She states she likes working at Lake Meridian Chiropractic because it inspires her to  dream big, knowing dreams can come true with hard work. People feel better after  coming in and she likes that she gets to be a part of that by solving billing problems.  Best of all she states “It has the same initials as my Mom!” 

In her free time she takes up many diverse interests. Victoria plays keyboard in her  church’s praise band and volunteers at their food bank. She enjoys traveling, especially  to national parks and dinosaur museums. Additionally, she likes to read and write any  genre.
