Angelea Tessitore, BSB/M, MBA - Office Manager

Angelea was born and raised in rural Salida, Colorado.  She moved to Colorado Springs in 2002 where she completed her Bachelors of Science in Business Management in 2010 and her Masters in Business Administration in 2011. Angelea came to Cheyenne Mountain Chiropractic as a car accident patient in January of 2009. She was very skeptical of chiropractic care and wasn't sure she wanted anything to do with it.  On the first visit, Dr. Hanley made her feel at ease and was very gentle.  Within a few visits, she felt better and realized that chiropractic care is very beneficial and works well.   After a few months of treatment and care, Angelea came to work as the office manager. She has grown to think of the practice as her own and adores working with patients.  She loves helping them understand the importance of chiropractic care, as well as working with their insurance companies in order to make care more affordable.    

Angelea is the person to talk to if you are confused about your insurance coverage or lack of insurance coverage.  Angelea can answer most questions and if she can't, she is very adept at finding out the necessary information. She will handle all of the insurance billing for you and will fight to get your care covered.  Our purpose at Cheyenne Mountain Chiropractic is to get you the care you need so that you are healthy and able to live a full live.  The last thing we want you concerned with is a financial burden, so we will do everything in our power to help understand your particular situation.
