Dr. Zaro was a board member of the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Board. And she is a grader for the Ethics and Boundaries Tests, which are administered by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, as well as a curriculum reviewer for the National Continuing Education Database Providers for Approved Continuing Education (PACE). There, she served as the Tri-County District Director for the SCCA for six years. She also served as the President of the South Carolina Chiropractic Association (SCCA).
Although being one of the most accomplished clinicians in chiropractic care, her passion is found both in treating patients and being a wife and mother. She has three dogs and a pet squirrel. In her spare time, she loves riding motorcycles, sporting clay shooting, boating, kayaking, jogging, and spending time with her husband and children. What she adores most about working at Alpha Medical and Spinal Care is the team that supports her day in and out. Dr. Zaro also loves that she can consult with other doctors on staff and works hard to tackle all of her patient’s pain management needs from all angles and facets.
