Doctor
Mohamed Karim, D.C.
Doctor Karim is originally from Coralville Iowa, and loves being a part of this area. In 2003 he graduated from West High School, then shortly after became an active member of the Coralville Fire Department, where he served 14 years as a volunteer firefighter before retiring in August of 2018.
It was while earning his bachelor's degree from the University of Iowa he realized his true passion was natural healthcare. He wanted to bring patients natural care and life-changing experience under chiropractic care. This passion led him to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport Iowa. He excelled as an active student and was nominated for the Clinical Excellence Award for his mastery of several chiropractic techniques, as well as his exceptional doctor/patient interaction. He graduated receiving his Doctorate in Chiropractic and shortly after opened his own practice in North Liberty, Iowa.
Continuing education is extremely important to Dr. Karim. He takes pride in being board certified in Chronic Intractable pain and Neuropathy from the American College of Physical Medicine. He is also Board certified in Functional Neurology from the American Functional Neurology Institute, which allows him to further help as many people as possible.
His clinics are conveniently located close to his home, which is the utmost importance to him. This allows him to spend time with his wife and two dogs while also being involved in his community. Occasionally his two dogs, Aspen and Sunny, join him for an afternoon at the clinic where his patients love interacting with them. Dr. Karim also enjoys sports (Go Hawks!) and moving his body through regular workouts at the gym located next to his clinic.
Dr. Karim's priority is and always will be helping people. He plans to achieve this goal consistently one patient at a time, by giving the best patient service and care. When you are a part of his office, you are a part of his family and he thrives to serve surrounding communities in Iowa.

Anthony Haddad, D.C., M.Ed
Doctor Tony Haddad is an Iowa native, originally from Cedar Rapids. He graduated from Linn-Mar High School in 2008, then headed to St. Ambrose University, where he studied Exercise Science, and earned his Master’s degree in Education in Kinesiology from Bowling Green State University.
His study focus was on a pre-physical therapy track, but with guidance from his aunt, who is also a chiropractor, he found his true calling in natural, preventative care.
Dr. Haddad was exposed to the healing power of chiropractic from an early age, when his mother, who suffered a back injury, was receiving care. After watching her go into the office hunched over in pain, then come out walking upright and pain-free, he was inspired to do the same for others.
He himself experienced the same life-changing care during his years as a soccer player; as an athlete, he fully understands the importance of bringing chiropractic care to athletes, young and old alike. His passion lead him to Palmer School of Chiropractic, right in his home state, where he graduated in June of 2018.
His love of helping people, eagerness to always learn, and his never-ending ability to make people laugh are just a few reasons we are very fortunate to have Dr. Haddad join our Family and Sport Chiropractic team. With him, you will always feel you are getting the highest level of care you deserve. In his spare time, Tony enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing disc golf, and riding his bike. He is a member of both St. George Orthodox Church in Cedar Rapids and St. Raphael Orthodox Church in Iowa City. He currently resides in Iowa City with his wife Karen and their dog, Mishka.

Dr. Loughney is the 7th of 11 children and has lived in 13 states and 2 foreign countries.

Paramedic / Office Manager
Sabrina, E.M.T.
Sabrina is an incredible addition to our clinic as a leader as well as a part of our medical clinic. Her entire life's work has been wrapped up in caring for people with 20+ years as an EMS and 13+ years as a paramedic. Not only has she helped saved countless lives, but she has also dedicated her life to the well-being of many injured or sick people.
When Sabrina first applied for a part time position in the medical clinic and saw what we had to offer, she wanted to be a part of helping patients be well so badly, she came in and worked in between her full-time job in a cath lab just for the opportunity to be asked to come on full time. Her caring heart and ability to connect with patients was immediately noticed and she was quickly made a permanent part of our team.
You will not meet anyone who cares about you getting better more than Sabrina. This is not a job to her, it is a passion and we are thankful every day to have her on the team.
Case Manager
Angela Donatti
Angela is Dr. Karim’s assistant, our clinic manager, and our longest serving team member. She began her career with us back when we were in a small chiropractic office. Her work in natural medicine developed into a passion several years ago, when Dr. Karim encouraged her to have neurological symptoms in her oldest son Chandler, further tested, after she had been told by several specialists there was nothing to worry about.
After insisting on an MRI, an inoperable cervical spine and brain stem tumor was discovered, requiring immediate surgery and radiation. Following surgery, physical therapy was not improving his awkward gait pattern, and it was determined by specialists there was nothing that could be done, it was due to the size and location of the tumor. She took the issue to Dr. Haddad, who was newer to the clinic at the time. Because of his kinesiology major, she knew he may be able to help. Within one visit with him, it was discovered one leg was longer than the other- something he was born with. After several therapy sessions and a shoe lift, Chandler’s ability to walk is better than it has ever been.
Angela spreads passion for our clinic and positive energy through public speaking events and one on one consultations with patients. Since beginning here, she has worked in every area the clinic has to offer and is proud of the fact that she has helped treat every single neuropathy and chronic pain patient that has walked through our door.
When Angela is not working with patients, she helps other staff discover their strengths, and helps them to grow into the best part of our team possible.
Outside of work, Angela enjoys her little family, growing things, collecting rocks, cooking, and music.
Front Desk
Brandi Miller
Brandi is one of the first people you will encounter when calling or coming to the clinic, and does her best work as our front desk manager; it didn’t take long for her to gain that position due to her sweet personality and ability to solve a problem without much direction from anyone else. Never in the history of our clinic has every day gone so smoothly as it has since she has taken over.
Her kindness towards patients and staff make her a valuable asset to the office, and you will appreciate how she goes out of her way to make sure your visit is pleasant from beginning to end.
When Brandi isn’t organizing everyone in the clinic, she loves spending time with her family, playing volleyball, and painting.
New Patient Coordinator
Sibya Honts
Sibya’s connection to natural medicine comes from her massage therapy background, making her a perfect fit in the clinic. Her willingness to help out in any area needed makes her a part of the team we would have a hard time replacing. Sibya is a proud, self-proclaimed “nerd” and has embraced being able to learn about brain rehabilitation, especially.
Sibya’s artistic and IT skills have been the perfect addition to our growing staff, as she takes care of any projects or patients requiring special instruction or help. If you ever have the pleasure of speaking with her, you will enjoy her patience and humor, above all.
Sibya is a published writer (2 children’s books!) and resides in Tiffin Iowa with her literal jungle of house plants and faithful dog, Honey Bee.
