Meet Dr. Vaughan Dabbs

As his mother was a nurse, Dr. Dabbs knew he always wanted to go into the health profession. “When I was about 15 years old, the MD who lived next to me told me to become a chiropractor. He said that’s because patients walk in with a frown and walk out with a smile after getting chiropractic care.” Dr. Dabbs also was drawn to the chiropractic profession as he could treat patients with his hands and wouldn’t be handing out pills.

Caring and compassionate, Dr. Dabbs takes time to forge connections with patients. He’s always felt empathy toward humankind.

“I want to help every patient get out of pain. I also want everyone to feel happy that they came in and feel cared for.”
