Our Team
At West Chiropractic, you’re more than just a patient— you’re family! Our family practice has been locally owned and operated for over 27 years.
Dr. Timothy West: Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. West was born and raised in Oneida, Tennessee. He graduated from the University of Tennessee at Martin in 1980, and returned to Oneida High School where he taught and coached for 8 years before attending chiropractic school. He graduated from Parker College of Chiropractic in 1992 and opened West Chiropractic in 1993. In his spare time, Dr. West enjoys hiking, four-wheeling, spending time with family, and playing with his dogs Cash and Willie. He is a Board Member of the Boys and Girls Club of Scott County and the Scott County Airport Authority.
“At my office, I want you to feel like family— not a number. I am passionate about chiropractic and the benefits it provides. Over my 27+ years in practice, I have enjoyed helping people restore their health through a natural approach. I believe that everyone can benefit from chiropractic, no matter their age.”

Linda Whitaker: Chiropractic Assistant
Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, Linda and her husband relocated to Orlando, FL where she spent 32 years raising their two children. Retirement led her to Oneida to fulfill her dream of a log cabin in the woods.
In Orlando, Linda worked as an X-ray technician for podiatry, medical assistant in neurology and, most recently, she spent 13 years as the office manager for a weight loss center. When she isn't working, Linda enjoys exploring Tennessee's gorgeous outdoors with her husband Denny and dog Shibby.
