Director of Program

Dr. Starr received his doctorate in 1978 from Los Angeles College of chiropractic. From there he spent two years in the dietetics program at University of Long Beach. With the above schooling, he developed a company called Preventive Health Care Systems. Its purpose was to provide nutritional advice to doctors seeking to learn more about preventive medicine. During that period, he wrote a 

book entitled "Weight Encounters," a self-help program workbook for achieving fitness.

In the early 1980's, he began private practice in the South Bay, specializing in the conservative treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. His practice centered around the general population, with a heavy emphasis on preventative and sports medicine. Having successfully treated many professional tennis players, the Association of Tennis Professionals in 1988 named him treating doctor for its members in Southern California.

Dr. Starr's emphasis remains steadfast in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, drawing heavily on nutrition and sports medicine background. He has taken this concept into mainstream medicine with the development of Beach Cities Spine Center where "The Best Of All Worlds" work hand in hand as a team. His goal is to help break down the barrier between MDs and DCs in the South Bay area.
