Dr. Gates Maier grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana passionate about two things, baseball and health, both of which he has a passion for today.

A board-certified Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Gates Maier has always strived to empower his patients to live life to the fullest by taking back control of their health.

After high school, Dr. Gates attended Indiana University where he studies Pre-Med and Kinesiology. After his undergraduate, Dr. Gate pursued his Doctorate degree in Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA.

Much of Dr. Gates’ passion stems from being in severe lower back pain after injuries. This kept him from enjoying sprots with friends and feeling normal. His sister suggested seeing a chiropractor, which changed his life completely! From the time he entered school, he knew he was going to learn as much as he could to help his patients get back to living their life to the fullest. After realizing the human body does not make mistakes and is capable of healing itself, Dr. Gates became focused on making sure others did not have to go years without answers to their heath concerns. For that reason, Dr. Gates studied with some of the top chiropractors in the profession while going through school.

While completing his doctorate, Dr. Gates trained for two years under a world recognized spine and extremity expert, Dr. Mitch Mally, who addresses foot, knee, hip, leg length difference, wrists, elbow, arm and TMJ. Near the end of his schooling Dr. Gates also got a unique opportunity granted to only the highest level of students for an internship at the Chillicothe VA hospital in the Chiropractic wing for six months. During that time, Dr. Gates realized he could do more for his patients with The Wellness Way principles. Dr. Gates was able to have great mentors such as Dr. Patrick Flynn and Dr. Greg Abbott guiding him to better understand the body as a whole and more importantly that the body does not make mistakes! With passion, Dr. Gates is extremely excited to bring these same principles to Grand Rapids, Michigan. By helping patients optimize their health, they take back control so they can get back to what they love doing.

As a doctor, Dr. Gates is extremely passionate about helping patients remove obstacles to their healing and facilitate the healing process by unlocking the powerful potential that each body was made with!
