Raised the son of a minister, he learned at an early age how to live a life helping people. When it came time to decide what profession he would pursue, the health field was a perfect fit. "I knew I wanted to be a doctor, but up to this point the only doctors I knew were medical doctors. In my experience with them the job seemed a little boring. I would sit on a table where I would be examined and
then I would get a prescription. This wasn't really what I wanted to do". While on the college rowing team Dr. Dotson had a teammate whose family was changed by a chiropractor, so he explored the profession. "When I went to meet the chiropractor for the first time I thought I was wasting my time and his, but when I talked to him and watched him with patients I saw that there was something getting done. From that moment I decided I would be a chiropractor". Dr. Dotson received his Bachelor`s degree in Biology from George Mason University in 1998. He then moved to Marietta, GA and graduated from Life University in 2002. He has since gone on to become a Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner, which focuses on health rather than disease. He has also received a second doctorate degree. During his time at LifeTouch he has discovered and developed the Sciatic-Relief Technique, which targets radiating leg pain, which he has since taught to other chiropractors across the United States. He lives here in Dalton with his wife and son.
