Meet The Doctors
Dr. David Higginbotham became part of The Joint Chiropractic’s team of local healthcare providers in 2022 when he began serving residents in the Webster area, where he continues doing the work he finds so rewarding.
“The thing I like most about being in the chiropractic field is helping patients without drugs or surgery,” he says. “I love building relationships with patients and their families.”
Dr. H, as his patients call him, is a native son who worked previously in Houston. He enjoys spending time with his wife, as well as golfing, hunting, and fishing.
He earned his doctorate from Texas Chiropractic College in Pasadena.
Dr. H says it was natural for him to pursue a career helping others experience the holistic health benefits of chiropractic because “I’ve been seeing a chiropractor my entire life.”
Actually, it started when he was 6 years old. He and his brother climbed on the roof of their house when Dr. H decided to jump. He hurt his lower back. The family physician said to lay the boy out on a heating pad and “he’ll be fine.” Knowing her 6-year-old wasn’t going to be still on a heating pad for any length of time, Mrs. H took her son to the family chiropractor. “I entered the office dragging my right leg, unable to walk without assistance from my mother,” he recalls. “After a brief exam and chiropractic adjustment to my lower back and sacroiliac joints, I proceeded to get off the table and walk without dragging my leg. I thought that was wonderful because now I could play when I got home.”
As a professional, he has paid it forward many times. “After three decades of practice, one of my more memorable experiences was similar to the one when I was 6,” he said. “A patient had a similar condition to mine, presented the same symptoms, and after his first visit was able to return to work the next day with little to no symptoms. Chiropractic is not a quick fix, it’s a lifestyle that patients need to maintain their spinal health because you only have one spine.”
Dr. Kegan Lepretre joined The Joint Chiropractic family of local chiropractors in 2018. A graduate of Louisiana Tech with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology, he received his doctorate of chiropractic from Texas Chiropractic College.
“The most gratifying thing about being in the chiropractic field is that I am able to help patients out of pain in a natural way,” he says. “I love being able to help in a hands-on way.”
In his spare time, Dr. Lepretre enjoys cooking and doing small projects around the house with his wife Bethany, their border collie Zoe, and basset hound mix Traeger.
“Chiropractic is the culmination of everything I wanted to do in order to best serve other people,” Dr. Lepretre says. “It’s a natural, hands-on method where the patient and I can set goals and see results.”
Dr. Lepretre has always worked in Houston, and he loves his current location. “We’re in the heart of one of Houston’s busiest areas,” he says. “It’s a great place to see as many people as possible and learn from new experiences.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Lepretre says the one thing he always has in his refrigerator is craft beer. “Treating patients can be fulfilling, but it can take a lot out of you,” he says. “It’s a delicious way to de-stress.”
If he could dine with anyone, Dr. Lepretre says he would like to bring together comedians from different mediums, music, stand-up, movies, and television: Dav Avidan, Jerry Seinfeld, Paul Rudd, and Andy Samberg. “Putting a smile on someone’s face is an amazing feeling, and some light-hearted comedy can almost always lift the spirits,” he says. “Each of these individuals has come from no-name positions in life and built themselves up to the stars that they are now. Not only would the conversation be inspiring, but I’m sure it would leave me in stitches, as well.”
One of the most interesting things that Dr. Lepretre has done took place when he took a mission trip to Guatemala. “It was my first opportunity to travel out of the country,” he says. “I got to meet some amazing people, and I was able to see some amazing views. It was an amazing opportunity to help some well-deserving children at an orphanage while also getting a chance to try new foods and visit black sand beaches.”
Dr. Robert Faries became part of The Joint Chiropractic’s team of local healthcare providers in Pearland in 2023, and in 2024 he joined the practice at the Kemah clinic, serving residents and continuing the work he finds so rewarding.
“As chiropractors, we enjoy a close relationship with patients because it is the only healthcare profession with a hands-on approach to treatment,” he says. “It is the most conservative and pharmaceutical-free healthcare practice.”
Born and raised in Orange, Texas, Dr. Faries worked for 40 years in a private practice in Beaumont before joining The Joint Chiropractic.
He and his wife, Sandra, have four grown children. They met while Dr. Faries was working as a physician’s assistant at Texas Medical Center in Houston. Sandra is a special education teacher.
Dr. Faries enjoys working out at the gym and landscaping flower beds in the yard.
He studied anatomy and physiology at the University of Houston where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology. He earned a Doctorate at Texas Chiropractic College in Pasadena.
“I was a chiropractic patient from the age of 6 years old and I always considered the possibility of joining the profession in the future,” he says. “I was very interested in human anatomy and physiology.”
One of Dr. Faries’ most significant experiences as a chiropractor involved a patient who suffered from multiple traumas with symptoms including vertigo. “He had visited a neurologist and an ear, nose, and throat specialist with no positive outcomes,” he says. “After two office visits including cervical manipulation treatment, his vertigo was abated.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
When asked about nutritional products he keeps on hand, Dr Faries considers supplements and protein shakes paramount for maintaining health.
If he could plan the ideal dinner party, Dr. Faries would invite Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Katie Ledecky, and Olympic track star Michael Johnson.
Dr. Faries loves Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, and Les Misérables is one of his favorite books. “It impacted me because the character Jean Valjean was incarcerated for stealing bread,” he says.
If he wrote an autobiography, it would be entitled A Very Fulfilled Life.
The best advice Dr. Faries ever received came from his father: “Never quit; everything is a competition; don't give up; and no excuses.”
