Meet The Doctors
With a career spanning more than two decades, Dr. Bryan McDonald brings both expertise and passion to The Joint Chiropractic, where he serves patients in both Tuscaloosa and Hoover. A graduate of Texas Chiropractic College (Class of 2003), he also holds a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Alabama. While he once weighed a future in physical therapy, Dr. McDonald ultimately chose chiropractic—a decision rooted in his love of working with people and helping them feel better.
Born in Kennesaw, Georgia, Dr. McDonald moved to Tuscaloosa at the age of 13 and quickly made it home. He has since built his career, family, and community connections here. Married to Kelly, with a daughter, Gabrielle, and their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Belle, Dr. McDonald enjoys a full life both in and out of the clinic. He’s passionate about fitness and wellness, training regularly in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, lifting weights, wakesurfing, and simply enjoying time with his family.
Beyond The Joint, Dr. McDonald has spent the last 18 years working closely with the University of Alabama athletic program as a chiropractor. He’s been on the sidelines for multiple national championships and proudly counts the opportunity to work with Coach Nick Saban—whom he calls “the best coach ever”—as one of the highlights of his career.
For Dr. McDonald, chiropractic care is about more than adjustments—it’s about increasing quality of life and helping people move through their days with less pain and more energy. He loves meeting new patients, hearing their stories, and watching their lives transform through care. His favorite motto sums up his approach to both life and practice: “If you're gonna fight, fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s Ark… and brother, it’s starting to rain.”
At The Joint Tuscaloosa and Hoover, Dr. McDonald combines professional skill, athletic insight, and a personal touch, helping patients of all ages discover the benefits of chiropractic care.
A proud Tuscaloosa native, Dr. Bethann Bullard has been serving her hometown community at The Joint Chiropractic since August 2022. After earning her Bachelor of Arts in Science, she pursued her lifelong dream of becoming a doctor at Palmer College of Chiropractic – Florida, where she graduated in 2022 with her Doctor of Chiropractic degree. For Dr. Bullard, chiropractic is more than a profession—it’s a calling to help people live their very best lives, pain-free.
Dr. Bullard loves the collaborative atmosphere at The Joint, where she works alongside her fellow doctors to bring healing and wellness to patients each day. She firmly believes in the chiropractic philosophy captured in her favorite quote by B.J. Palmer: “There is no effect without a cause. Chiropractors adjust causes. Others treat effects.”
When she’s not in the clinic, Dr. Bullard’s life is full of energy and enthusiasm. She is passionate about volleyball, both coaching and playing, and she never misses an Alabama football game—Roll Tide! She also thrives on all things summer, from sunshine to adventures outdoors. At home, her four dogs—Rayna, Beau, Rip, and Charlie—keep life lively and full of joy.
For fun, Dr. Bullard loves making memories, like the time she zip-lined across Mexico, which she describes as one of the coolest experiences she’s ever had. Whether soaring across treetops or helping patients reach new heights in health, she brings the same spirit of adventure and care to everything she does.
At The Joint Tuscaloosa, Dr. Bullard combines local roots, professional expertise, and a passion for people to provide care that’s both personal and powerful—helping every patient move toward a healthier, brighter future.
Dr. Daniel Lee is a native Floridian and a 7 year veteran of the U.S. Army. His last duty station was with the 11th Special Forces Group (Airborne) near Homestead, Florida. After his military career “Dr. Dan” earned his chiropractic degree from Life University in Marietta, Georgia in 1997. Dr. Dan has 26 years of chiropractic experience working with infants, children, adults and seniors with additional experience in pain management and rehabilitation.
For almost 2 decades Dr. Lee was the owner and clinic director of Alfred Almond Chiropractic in Western NY. Dr. Dan is a Christian man and has 2 adult children, Savannah and Luci who still live near Rochester, NY. When he’s not in the office serving patients he enjoys horses, farming, hiking, parachuting.
Dr. Ted Dower brings energy, heart, and a passion for movement to The Joint Chiropractic in Hoover, Alabama, where he has been serving patients since April 2024. A Magna Cum Laude graduate of Life University’s Doctor of Chiropractic program, Dr. Dower also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). His journey into chiropractic was driven by a simple but powerful motivation: to improve the quality of people’s lives.
Raised in Hutchinson, Kansas, Dr. Dower’s Midwestern roots taught him the value of hard work and consistency—principles he carries into his care. He attended Sterling College before pursuing chiropractic and has built a life with his wife, Sarah, and their three sons, Tom, Whit, and Ty. At home, the Dower family is rounded out by Socks, their cat with plenty of personality. When he’s not in the clinic, Dr. Dower can be found lifting weights, reading, or simply enjoying time playing with his boys.
What Dr. Dower loves most about chiropractic is seeing instant results—the way an adjustment can quickly improve mobility and decrease discomfort. He believes these moments are not only rewarding for patients but also affirming for him as a doctor. What makes The Joint special to him is the chance to build long-term relationships with patients, walking with them through their wellness journey.
When asked about the coolest thing he’s ever done, Dr. Dower doesn’t hesitate: hitchhiking across Colorado with friends. It was adventurous, unpredictable, and packed with memories that remind him to embrace life’s journeys. His favorite words to live by come from Aristotle: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.”
At The Joint Hoover, Dr. Dower blends clinical skill with genuine connection, helping patients not only move better but live better—one adjustment, one habit, one step at a time.
