Through the Years - The Taber Chiropractic Family
The Doctors Taber met at NYCC (now Northeast College of Health Sciences) in Seneca Falls, NY. They graduated in 1997 and were married in 1998. They went for additional post graduate chiropractic training in ergonomics and work-related injuries. The Doctors Taber opened Taber Chiropractic, P.C., Bowie MD in 2000. The specialty focus has always been spine (back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches etc.). Working with other medical professionals to provide the best care has long been characteristic of this practice. In fact, Dr. Diane Taber was a past President of the Bowie Medical and Dental Society.
In 2005 they were blessed to have a son, Chase, and Dr. Diane cut back her chiropractic hours for several years to focus on her new role as Mom. But when she was ready to come back full-time in 2017, the office was a tight fit! A new chapter was opened which included a new larger location, a new name (Taber Chiropractic & Laser Spine Therapy Center), and added services (MLS Laser and Spinal Decompression).
The doctors have a unified goal of striving for high patient satisfaction through professional expert care and a well-run office…thanks to the dedicated and compassionate team. Like most married couples, they share commonalities but also have differences that are outlined above in each of his/her bios.
