Dr. Dawn Khoury grew up in New York and held aspirations
of becoming an elementary, special-ed teacher, however, she soon became disheartened
with the politics of the profession. Having been under chiropractic care most
of her life, and believing in a holistic health care model, she changed her major
to pre-med and set her sites on chiropractic school. Upon her graduation from
Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1994 she immediately enrolled in a 1000 hour post-doctoral
diplomate program in chiropractic pediatrics. She is now one of only 200 pediatric
chiropractors in the country. In her 10 years of practice she has successfully
integrated her love of children and her love of chiropractic. Dr. Dawn has
committed her life to helping sick children find health through chiropractic care,
nutrition and education as well as avoiding drugs and surgery. She still enjoys
working with "special" children and she still educates each day both in her practice
and through community lectures. In addition to being a chiropractor Dr. Dawn
is a full-time mother of two and volunteers her time in the PTO.

Sports Council. His post-doctorate sports medicine training from New York Chiropractic
College has included the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports injuries,
athletic performance and success, injury prevention, and clinical & sports nutrition.
A few years ago, he was asked to be the team chiropractor for the New England Patriots
for a game. Nothing could have been more fantastic or such an honor for him
than to be able to adjust almost all of the players and two of the coaches of his
favorite sports team, prior to the game. "It was great fun being on the
sidelines, watching a professional football game up close and personal. If
you think the players are fast and hits sound loud in the stands, wait until you
stand on the sidelines. It was amazing. It was a boyhood dream come
true."
He is an U.S. Army veteran, was an armored/tank crewman and honorably discharged
from active duty in 1977. He is a native of Newton, Massachusetts and is a
member of Grace Chapel in Lexington, Massachusetts. He currently resides in
Westwood.
Dr. Doherty's personal interests include computers, especially Internet related
aspects, as well as hiking and reading. He also enjoys watching sports, particularly
New England Patriots football, as you can imagine. His wife and best friend
Paula was the best office manager of Doherty Chiropractic there ever was.
She now works in education. They are the proud parents of one of the brightest
and sweetest little girls God has ever created, Kayla Lynn Doherty.
Dr. Jennah Dieter earned her bachelors degree in Health
and Exercise Science from Wake Forest University in the year 2000. Shortly
thereafter, she joined the Khoury Centre "family" and served as the Office Manager
and Clinical Assistant. She developed a passion for helping people optimize
their health through the power of chiropractic and was motivated to pursue a Doctor
of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic. During her years at
Palmer, she embarked on a chiropractic mission trip to Bahia, Brazil where she provided
chiropractic care to the underserved people of rural Brazil. She then interned
with the Khoury Centre prior to graduating Summa Cum Laude from chiropractic school.

including children and pregnant mothers. She also provides nutritional counseling
