Dunn Healthcare Center for Health and Wellness

Nashville native Dr. Ray Saeedpour (Chiropractor) developed an interest in chiropractic after seeing firsthand how it was able to improve health concerns that weren’t being addressed by traditional medicine because of its focus on symptoms. As a pre-med student at UT Knoxville, he interned at a integrated MD and chiropractic clinic and it was there that his skepticism about chiropractic dissolved. While seeing hundreds of patients who were seeking relief through chiropractic care Dr. Ray embraced that fact that integrated care among health professionals was the best way to provide truly comprehensive patient care.

In 1994, Dr. Saeedpour graduated from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a BA in Administration and a BS in Science. In 1998, Dr. Ray graduated from Life University School of Chiropractic with a doctorate in Chiropractic.

After practicing in another integrated Atlanta Clinic, Dr. Ray returned to his hometown of Nashville. Partnering with Dr. Gary Dunn, he became part of the Dunn Clinic team in 2000. Since then, the clinic has become one of only a few in Nashville to offer the latest cutting edge chiropractic technology.

Dunn Chiropractic was voted Nashville’s Best Chiropractic Clinic by the Nashville Scene in both 2007 and 2008 as well as the 2009 Toast of Music City readers poll. In the very near future, Dr. Saeedpour plans on finishing his goal of providing a HealthCare Center where Chiropractic Physicians, Medical Physicians, Physio Therapists, Massage Therapists, Acupucturists, Nutritionists, and Behavioral Health specialists can put their differences aside and focus on patient care.

Dr. Ray also enjoys motorcycles, fresh water and deep sea fishing, traveling abroad and golf.

Dr. Saeedpour sees patients from 8 AM to 7 PM Mondays and Thursdays, and from 8 AM to 1 PM Tuesdays and Fridays.

Hi! My name is Dr. Kelsey Tubbs, and I moved to Middle Tennessee in the fall of 2016. My dream has always been to practice in an integrated facility that utilizes various different healthcare approaches that are all aimed at using the best treatments possible for our patients.

I attended the University of Tennessee at Martin where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I was also a part of the university’s cheer team where I cheered for both football and basketball all four years of my college career. After graduating in May of 2013, I moved to St. Louis where I attended Logan University for the next three and a half years for my chiropractic education. While at Logan University my passion for chiropractic grew even stronger, and it reaffirmed my desire to want to help people and build healthier communities through a different healthcare approach. I graduated Logan University with my Doctorate of Chiropractic and my Master’s in Sports Science and Rehabilitation from Logan University in December 2016.

Outside of my education and career, I love being outside and doing anything outdoors. During the summer you will most likely find me boating on the Tennessee River on the weekends. I enjoy working out, traveling, and cheering on the Tennessee Volunteers during football season (Go Vols!).
