Dr. Tim

Dr. Tim’s path to chiropractic care began with a personal injury in eighth grade during basketball practice. After being pushed into a wall and experiencing persistent pain, a visit to his family
chiropractor brought immediate relief and a lasting impression. The experience sparked a passion
for helping others through chiropractic care — a passion that only grew as he continued to
benefit from treatments throughout high school.

By the time he graduated, Dr. Tim knew chiropractic was his calling. He earned his degree from Cleveland Chiropractic College, where he met his future wife, Dr. Lauri. The couple married shortly after graduation and opened their own practice in Fort Madison, Iowa, in May 2004. Together, they have been proudly serving the community for over 20 years.

Dr. Tim is deeply committed to family, community, and making a positive impact. He served 12 years on the Fort Madison Community School Board and currently represents District 2 on the Lee County Board of Supervisors. He also remains active in the local school district by broadcasting Fort Madison High School sports.

In his practice, Dr. Tim focuses on restoring proper function — not just relieving pain. He believes that when the body is free of restrictions, it can heal itself and thrive. His goal is to help patients achieve lasting wellness and a higher quality of life. With decades of experience, a passion for helping others, and a deep-rooted dedication to his community, Dr. Tim is a trusted partner on your journey to better health.

Dr. Lauri

Dr. Lauri Wondra is a chiropractor certified in acupuncture, dedicated to helping individuals of all ages—from infants to the elderly—live healthier, pain-free, and more balanced lives. While she always felt called to a helping profession, it wasn’t until age 26 that she discovered her true passion for chiropractic and acupuncture—and she hasn’t looked back since.

Her journey began while working for a chiropractor in Kansas City. That path soon led her to work alongside renowned chiropractor, acupuncturist, and instructor Dr. Richard Yennie. It was during this time—watching lives transform and hearing countless success stories at acupuncture seminars—that Dr. Lauri was inspired to pursue her own education in chiropractic and earn her acupuncture certification. She enrolled at Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City, where she met her husband, Dr. Tim.

After graduation, the couple moved to Dr. Lauri’s hometown of Fort Madison, Iowa—a place that shaped her deeply and continues to hold a special place in her heart. For over 20 years, she and Dr. Tim have proudly served the community from their downtown clinic, providing care rooted in compassion, experience, and whole-body wellness.

Dr. Lauri’s dedication to the profession extends far beyond the clinic walls. She currently serves as Chair of the Iowa Board of Chiropractic and is a past President of the Iowa Chiropractic Society. Her leadership has helped shape chiropractic care standards in Iowa, and she remains a vocal advocate for education, ethics, and collaboration in the field. She lives by the belief that “a rising tide raises all ships”—and she brings that spirit to her work, her patients, and her community.

She believes deeply in the body’s ability to heal when given the right support. Her personalized approach to chiropractic care and acupuncture focuses on restoring alignment, reducing interference, and empowering every patient to achieve their health goals—naturally and holistically.

At the heart of everything is family. Dr. Lauri and Dr. Tim share not only a practice but a life built on shared values, mutual respect, and the joy of raising their daughter, who remains their greatest source of pride.

Candice Smrt

Chiropractic Assistant and Office Manager

Candice Smrt is the heart and humor of our chiropractic office. As both a certified EMT and medical assistant, she brings a well-rounded clinical background to the front lines of patient care. In her dual role as Chiropractic Assistant and Office Manager, Candice keeps the practice running smoothly-whether that means coordinating care, juggling schedules, or cracking a smart comment to keep things light. Helping people is at the core of everything she does (yes, even on Mondays). With a sharp wit, a dash of sarcasm, and a whole lot of compassion, Candice makes every patient feel at ease from the moment they walk in. When she's not wrangling charts or making the office laugh, she's busy making sure every visit feels like more than just an appointment—it feels like you're being looked after.

Lori Zimmerman is a dependable and passionate chiropractic tech at Wondra Chiropractic &
Acupuncture. She is known for her strong organizational skills, commitment to patient well-
being that brings a calm organized presence to the clinic and contributes to a welcoming and supportive environment at Wondra Chiropractic & Acupuncture. 

My job is to document everything our doctors do during simultaneous patient treatments to
ensure accurate, up-to-date records. I also handle patient exams and make sure any health
concerns are carefully documented, helping to provide a clear picture of each patient’s overall wellness. I’m passionate about creating a welcoming environment where patients feel seen, heard and supported. I love being a part of a team that helps people feel better every day.
