That same dedication and discipline now drives his work with patients facing some of the most complex and misunderstood health conditions.
After earning his B.S. in Biology in 2006, Dr. Gates pursued his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Life Chiropractic College West, graduating in 2009 as Valedictorian.

This discipline became the cornerstone of his practice.

Dr. Gates has since completed over 250 additional hours of specialized training in areas including Traumatic Brain Injuries, Vestibular Rehabilitation, and Movement Disorders. His expertise spans a wide range of conditions — from depression and anxiety to Parkinson’s disease, peripheral neuropathy, post-concussion syndrome, Meniere’s disease, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
What sets Dr. Gates apart is his unwavering commitment to each patient’s journey. He takes time to truly understand your health history, explain your condition in detail, and guide you through a personalized treatment plan designed to restore function — not just manage symptoms.
