Dr. Joel Koeppen began his career in chiropractic after a successful thirteen year career in construction building and remodeling homes and installing and maintain large venue audio/visual systems for mega churches. His experiences left him looking for a one-on-one approach to helping people. That is when he realized how powerful chiropractic was.
Dr. Joel attended Life University in Marietta, GA, earning a bachelor’s degree in biology as well as a professional degree as doctor of chiropractic. While in school he helped raise his five kids who are now 13, 13, 14, 17, and 18 and worked part-time as an audio-visual specialist for Life U.
Dr. Joel has special interest in and is pursuing advanced training in scoliosis specific rehabilitative chiropractic care. His wife of 19 years, Sarah, was diagnosed with scoliosis as a young teenager and is part of the reason Dr. Joel became a chiropractor.
In addition to his growing love of chiropractic Dr. Joel is engaged in the local community mentoring young couples alongside his wife Sarah. He is active in his own private practice, as well as in his wife Sarah’s non-profit The Hope Box. He also enjoys mountain biking, playing basketball, hiking, fishing, and golfing with his family.
Dr. Joel, affectionately known as "Dr. D," brings a unique blend of experience and passion to chiropractic care. His journey began in New York City, where he balanced teaching special education, studying exercise physiology, managing a department store, and instructing snow skiing. A pivotal skiing injury led to his first chiropractic adjustment from his brother, then a chiropractic student, sparking a profound realization: "I have to learn how to do this—what a great way to help people." This transformative experience, coupled with his strong background in sports and sports medicine, including participation in US Navy research, propelled him to graduate from Life Chiropractic College in 1986. After gaining invaluable experience in various chiropractic offices, he established his own practice in 1988. Dr. D is renowned for his expertise in Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.), mentored by its founder, Dr. MT Morter Jr. He achieved Master B.E.S.T. certification in 1997, a distinction held by only 45 practitioners in the U.S., earning him the moniker "The Wizard of Wellness." He specializes in identifying and correcting the root causes of health issues, focusing on precise subluxation adjustments. "I love being the detective," he says, "finding what needs to be done to neutralize interference and allow the body's innate healing."
Dr. D emphasizes a holistic approach to wellness, championing "The Habits of Health," which encompass nutrition, exercise, rest, air quality, and mindset. He advocates for an 80/20 nutrition-to-exercise ratio for optimal health, challenging common misconceptions. Integrating fitness into his daily routine, he teaches Boot Camp, Cycle, or Aqua Aerobics classes before seeing patients. He believes laughter is a powerful healing tool, maintaining a friendly and lighthearted atmosphere in his practice. "My Dad taught me you'll never work a day if you love what you do," he shares, a principle he embodies fully. His dedication extends beyond the clinic, as he enjoys spending time with his wife, their adult children, and their rescued pets, whether traveling, cruising, or relaxing at home. Dr. D is committed to empowering individuals to achieve optimal health and well-being through personalized, comprehensive chiropractic care.
Dr. Deborah Miller became a member of The Joint Chiropractic’s network of local chiropractors in 2015 when she joined the Acworth clinic.
She earned an associate of science degree from Clayton State in Morrow, Ga., and then her doctorate magna cum laude from Life Chiropractic College in Marietta. She also went on to earn a bachelor’s degree cum laude from Excelsior College in Albany, N.Y.
“The thing I like best about being in the chiropractic field is helping people get better,” Dr. Miller says. “The other thing is all the interesting folks I’ve met.”
A product of southeast Florida, she has worked throughout the Atlanta area.
When she has some free time, Dr. Miller enjoys reading, though she admits “there’s never enough time,” along with working out, the outdoors, watching movies, and spending time with her friends and family, including her grown son and daughter. She is also fond of walking her dogs, a dachshund named Katan and a Labrador mix named Mina.
Dr. Miller says she became a true believer in chiropractic based on first-hand knowledge while in her teens.
“The first time I went for chiropractic care was following a car accident when I was 19,” she explains. “I realized that chronic digestive issues I had suffered began to improve. The doctor had brochures in his office about a career in chiropractic, and the rest is history.”
That history includes a wonderful time at The Joint’s Acworth clinic. “The thing I like best about working at this particular location is everyone associated with this clinic,” she says. “Owner, doctors and patients are just terrific.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
According to Dr. Miller, “the one thing that I cannot do without in my life is my faith, and being involved in science is another opportunity to learn about God.”
“I've been given the ability to bring healing to people, and I am honored to be able to use these gifts and talents,” she says. “These things are all linked together.”
If Dr. Miller could dine with any foursome, she would choose Jesus Christ, artist Vincent van Gogh, President Abraham Lincoln, and author C.S. Lewis.
“I’ve learned a great deal from their lives and/or writings that have made me a better person,” she says.
Dr. Donnie, D.C., joined our team at The Joint in Acworth in 2023. He graduated from Life University in 2009. Right out of school he had the wonderful opportunity to work with Olympic athletes in the London Olympics in 2012. He is also a mentor of the Georgia Chiropractic Association.
The best thing about being a Chiropractor, according to Dr. Donnie, is opening a patients mind up to the possibility of a better option. Giving patients options instead of the traditional pill or surgery route. He believes in improving the quality of life for his patients through routine chiropractic care.
In his free time, Dr. Donnie has a passion for photography, he also loves hiking and being in nature.
Dr. Jay Driscoll has been a valued member of The Joint Chiropractic family since 2019, originally bringing his chiropractic expertise to the Roswell clinic. A proud graduate of the University of Massachusetts Boston, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology, Dr. Jay went on to achieve his doctorate of chiropractic from Life University. He's genuinely passionate about his work, stating, "The best thing about being in the chiropractic field is having the opportunity to help change the lives of my patients by connecting into their own innate potential. Every person has infinite possibilities in their lives, and chiropractic allows people to tap into these possibilities.” What really cemented Dr. Jay's belief in his career choice was a memorable day he spent working for another chiropractor. He had a profound sense of déjà vu, a clear realization that he was destined to be a chiropractor.
Raised in the Boston area of New England, Dr. Jay has served many Georgia communities including Acworth, Kennesaw, Marietta and Woodstock. Outside of the clinic, he enjoys an active life that includes hiking, traveling, exercising, and attending live music events. A fan of fresh, local fare, he also loves eating farm-to-table and enthusiastically follows his beloved Boston sports teams along with his son. Driven by his deep-seated belief in the power of chiropractic, Dr. Jay is dedicated to providing quality care and empowering his patients to live healthier lives.
Dr. Chad is a transformative Chiropractor who inspires, motivates and empowers his patients to achieve optimal health through routine chiropractic care.
He received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University, Atlanta, GA in 2004. Since then, his life’s mission has been serving his patients in their personal wellness journey and making the wonderful benefits of chiropractic known through his chiropractic adjustments.
At the age of 5, Dr. Chad said something happened to him that would change his life forever. He was suffering from severe allergies and experienced 50% decline in his hearing. Nothing helped him get relief until he was taken to a chiropractor where he received his first life changing adjustment.
He says, “I still remember how great that first adjustment felt. My hearing was instantly restored, and as I continued care my allergies improved.” That’s when he knew he would become a Doctor of Chiropractic and help other people get the same amazing results that he did.
In his free time, Dr. Chad enjoys weightlifting, riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle and spending time with his family. Together, he and his wife Missy have two beautiful daughters, Chloe and Zoey and two Italian Greyhounds, named Harley and Deuce.
