Dr. Tim graduated with honors from the prestigious Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, TX in April 2001. Three months later, he moved back to Illinois to open his first office in Peru. In December 2017, he opened his second office in Bolingbrook. He provides natural, sustainable pain relief and preventative care to patients of all ages.

Dr. Tim has extensive training in nutrition, mindset, exercise, and minimization of toxins. In his practice, he performs a wide variety of full spinal adjusting techniques, and provides nutrition and lifestyle counseling to promote the body’s natural healing ability.

Chiropractic was a large part of his lifestyle while growing up, which formed his natural and holistic approach to healthcare. Upon meeting his future wife, Nicole, in 1996, Dr. Tim added to her family’s legacy by going on to become the seventh chiropractor in her family. He has dedicated his career to helping people create a personal and natural health and wellness plan for life.

In addition to caring for patients, Dr. Tim leads an active and dynamic lifestyle. He and Nicole have five children: Jack, Emma, Luke, Will, and Quinn. He enjoys golfing, fishing, and many varied activities with his family.
