Dr. Garrett has been a dedicated chiropractor for over 30 years, with a passion for helping patients achieve optimal health through a holistic approach to care. He began his pre-chiropractic education at Chabot College in the San Francisco Bay Area and later continued his studies at Life Chiropractic College – West in San Lorenzo, CA, graduating in 1987.

Throughout his education, Dr. Garrett studied biochemistry, anatomy, human physiology, and diagnostics, with a significant focus on chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in Life-West’s public clinic. After completing his studies, he relocated to Arizona to establish his practice in the Phoenix metro area, where he has helped countless individuals achieve pain relief and long-term wellness.

Dr. Garrett’s approach is based on the belief that health care should be focused on finding and fixing the root cause of issues, rather than simply masking symptoms with quick fixes or “sick care.” His mission is to help his patients understand the importance of maintaining their nervous system and promoting natural healing for lasting health.
