Meet The Team

In 1993, he graduated from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in the top of his class and was voted by his classmates as 'most likely to succeed.' Shortly after graduating, he was hired by the largest chiropractic clinic in the Northwest Ohio area. Although it was exciting to treat over one hundred patients a day, it always bothered him that some were not getting better, and some were even getting worse. He became discouraged.

In 1997, he moved back to Southern California and did a lot of soul-searching, even picking up another job as a substitute teacher to middle schoolers. He then realized that the problem was not with the patients, but with him not knowing or understanding the cause of painful conditions. He simply lacked the knowledge to get people better. He started seeking out doctors who knew more than him and were getting remarkable results with their patients. He traveled all over the country on an ongoing basis to learn different approaches, new ways of applying 'outside the box' thinking and incorporating different techniques & technology that he would experiment with when he arrived back in the office on Monday morning.

Over the past 30 years, he has invested well over $100,000 and hundreds of hours learning the most advanced techniques and methods from a variety of practitioners. At times, it seemed he was at a post-graduate seminar every weekend trying to solve the problems and health challenges his patients suffered with daily. Although he has been blessed to sit under some of the most gifted doctors & thought leaders on health in the world, his best teachers have always been his patients who have taught him what really works and what does not in the day-to-day trenches at the office.

After many years of employing innovative approaches learned by the most gifted physicians in the industry, combined with success, trial and error taught to him by his patients, he has developed a proprietary method unique to the industry, called 'The Taylor Method.'

'The Taylor Method' assists patients get to the root of their pain or health challenge in an extremely efficient manner as it helps the practitioner target the primary area to address, affording patients to get faster and longer-lasting results. In addition to knowing where to target treatment efforts to maximize patients' results, Dr. Taylor has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in the latest technology to enable those suffering with a variety of health challenges to achieve amazing results in a fraction of the time it would normally take without it. It has been an immense joy for Dr. Taylor over the years to see hope restored to patients who had given up on their condition, only to achieve results they thought was impossible to attain, often in a period that exceeded their expectations.

In 2019, Dr. Derek Taylor was fortunate to have his son, Dr. Hudson Taylor, join the team. Dr. Hudson Taylor graduated at the top of his class and was allowed to give the graduation speech as Salutatorian of his class (CLICK HERE TO WATCH). He is not only carrying on 'The Taylor Method' approach but has enhanced it with gifted insights he provides and has co-authored two books with his dad, "The Healthy Feet Handbook - How to Fix & Prevent Common Foot Problems" and "Overcome Your Knee Pain - 7 Principles for Avoiding and Recovering from Knee Pain." In 2021, Dr. Derek Taylor relocated his family from Southern California to open another Taylor Chiropractic & Laser Center, Inc. in South Florida to serve the community in Palm Beach Gardens and beyond.
