Team
Dr. Connor Oliveri
Owner / Chiropractor
Welcome! My name is Dr. Connor Oliveri. Most know me by “Dr. O”. I have the privilege of being the founder of Elevate Health.
I grew up in Clearwater, FL as an athlete, playing baseball most of my life up through college. After graduating with a Biomedical Sciences degree from USF, exploring careers within healthcare was in my best interest. Ever since I was young, I wanted to make a difference in the world. I always loved helping people.
That’s when I decided I wanted to pursue a doctorate and became a Chiropractic Physician.
I have always been a huge advocate of engaging in a healthy lifestyle so a career that focused on preventing disease was the perfect field for me. When school ended, I was thrilled to start a life in the Tampa Bay Area. Tampa is one of the fastest growing cities with tons of opportunities, especially for young professionals. My purpose for creating Elevate Health is to form a community of like-minded individuals and local businesses that prioritize a healthy body and mind. My goal is to create something that lasts beyond myself. Here at Elevate Health, we want to make everyone feel like they are family. Check out all the services we offer so you can spend time at the most elite health and wellness facility in Tampa, with the most caring staff.
We look forward to meeting and treating you!
Dr. Rals Abrahams
Chiropractor / Acupuncture
Dr. Rals Abrahams is board certified in Chiropractic Medicine, Acupuncture and Certified in Manipulation Under Anesthesia.
Dr. Abrahams is originally from Southwestern Virginia and participated in athletics throughout his life. He enjoyed playing football for Emory & Henry College while studying Biology and Chemistry. He received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida in 2009.
After moving back home for a year, Dr. Abrahams decided it was time to trade in the Virginia mountain snow for the Florida sunshine and moved to Tampa to be closer to family.
Dr. Abrahams was first introduced to chiropractic care in high school when he was treated for injuries while playing sports. The hands-on approach, alternative therapy options, less medicated approach and his love of science and healthcare made it an obvious career path during his college studies. Today, Dr. Abrahams credits the chiropractic profession with opening doors to other treatment options that have allowed him and his patients to live a healthier and higher quality of life.
Outside of work, Dr. Abrahams enjoys his free time with his wife and two young daughters. He is dedicated to a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, proper nutrition, and enjoying the outdoors.

Sami Oliveri
Office Manager
Hi! My name is Samantha and I am a born and raised Florida girl. While growing up, I constantly found myself gravitating towards the need to help others in any way I could. This led me to study Psychology at the University of Central Florida, specializing in Behavioral Health. I spent the 4 years post-undergrad working with Autistic children. Although I absolutely loved helping children, I felt a void and that I was meant for more.
At the time, Dr. O, my big brother, approached me with his vision to create and transform the health and wellness industry in the Tampa Bay community. As I was always a strong advocate for a healthy and balanced lifestyle, I immediately jumped on board. After countless cups of coffee and many sleepless nights, we have brought you Elevate Health! I am so proud to be a part of this community and I cannot wait to welcome you to our family. I will be here to greet you upon entering the facility and assist in pointing you to the correct service for your healing needs.

Hello! My name is Mia, I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and raised in South Florida. I studied at Arizona State University specializing in journalism and communications. Since a young age my life has revolved around a deep passion for health and wellness. Outside of work I enjoy working out, practicing yoga and mindful meditation as well as cooking for family & friends.
Over the years I developed a keen interest in the intricate connection between mind, body and spirit. This curiosity and eagerness to learn more has brought me to Elevate Health. I have immersed myself in various wellness practices, from yoga and meditation to exploring different dietary philosophies. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and empowering them to embark on their wellness journey. I look forward to assisting you with your own health and wellness goals!
