The practice is led by Dr. Robert B. Edwards II, DC, who was born and raised in Warwick, RI, graduated from Bishop Hendricken High School, and earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Healthcare Administration from Stonehill College in Easton, MA. He developed an interest in natural healthcare after seeking care from a local chiropractor for an upper back and shoulder injury during his freshman year of college, and went on to graduate with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northeast College of Health Sciences in the fall of 2015, gaining clinical experience at the VA Hospital in Canandaigua. The practice's stated mission is to provide physical medicine so patients can keep doing the things they want to do, and its philosophy centers on educating patients about the causes of pain and working collaboratively toward individual goals, whether running a race, competing in an IronMan, or spending time with grandchildren. Office hours run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8am to 12:30pm and 2pm to 6pm, Tuesday and Thursday from 8am to 3pm, with Saturday appointments by arrangement.
