Dr. Robin Barnes is completely dedicated to chiropractic in both her professional and personal lives.
As a child, she always had a deep desire to serve others. After her parents were injured in a car crash, her father became a chiropractor, and she saw how much benefit his patients received from his treatments. Dr. Barnes knew that she wanted to become a chiropractor so that she could help others to heal and to maintain their health.
Dr. Barnes graduated with honors from Texas Chiropractic College in 1984, obtaining her doctoral degree. Because her father retired from practice in that same year, Dr. Barnes was fortunate to be able to take over her father’s practice, Chester Chiropractic Center, and to continue to treat the patients that he had been seeing. For over thirty years, Dr. Barnes has been serving the Chester community through chiropractic care.
Dr. Barnes has lived in the Chester area for her whole life. Deeply integrated into this community, she has raised four children and four dogs here. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, cooking and hiking. To Dr. Barnes, chiropractic is both a profession and a hobby, and brings her great joy.
Our History
Chester Chiropractic Center was established by Dr. Alan Marr. Dr. Marr began his professional life as an electrical engineer, and proudly served in the U.S. Air Force. As young adults, Dr. Marr and his wife were involved in a serious car crash. Unfortunately, they both sustained injuries. During their recovery, both of them were helped greatly by chiropractic.
When Dr. Marr realized the incredible power of chiropractic as a healing modality, he decided to dedicate his life to bringing this healing to others. He changed careers, and completed his chiropractic training. Initially, he had a practice in Tewksbury for over 10 years before opening Chester Chiropractic Center in 1974. Dr. Marr remained dedicated to serving his patients until his retirement in 1984.
Fortunately for the community, the practice did not disappear when he retired. Dr. Marr’s daughter, Dr. Robin Barnes, graduated from her chiropractic training in the same year that her father retired, and she took over the practice. Dr. Barnes has been committed to serving her community through chiropractic for over thirty years.
