“I believe that the more patients understand their condition, the better chance they have to make good decisions regarding their health,” says Brent Paxton, Chiropractic Physician at City of Hope Chicago. “My job is to both treat and educate patients.”

Dr. Paxton earned his Bachelor of Science degree in human biology at the National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, Illinois, in 1985. He completed his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the same institution in 1987.

Since 1988, Dr. Paxton has provided chiropractic care in private-practice settings in Zion, Illinois. As a chiropractic physician, Paxton examined patients, provided diagnoses and performed physical therapy and a wide variety of treatment techniques. During his career, he has continued to pursue additional training and education to maintain a high quality of care.

He sees a benefit to the integrative approach at City of Hope, along with the ability for patients to receive all their care at one facility. “I want to provide whatever information my patients need to positively affect their life and lifestyle,” says Dr. Paxton.
