Headshot of Northeast Alumnus Dr.Bibo Zhang

Dr. Bibo Zhang graduated from New York Chiropractic College鈥檚 Doctor of Chiropractic program in the fall of 2013. While completing his bachelor鈥檚 degree in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) at Liaoning University in China, as well as a master鈥檚 degree in pediatric TCM, he met several chiropractors and was fascinated by what they did. This fueled his deep curiosity and interest in chiropractic care. NYCC鈥檚 grounded scientific curriculum and leading chiropractic research facilities led him to begin his journey toward becoming a doctor of chiropractic in September of 2011. Zhang now practices at O鈥橩eefe Chiropractic Center in Medford, New Jersey, where he treats many patients for acute back pain, provides wellness management, and caters to special populations such as pregnant women and children. He is certified in Webster Technique and is currently completing the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association鈥檚 200-hour Certification Program (CACCP).

Zhang attributes his success in diagnosis and clinical practice to NYCC: 鈥淣YCC provides really comprehensive courses.鈥 He stressed the importance of the College鈥檚 curriculum and weighing all courses the same. 鈥淵ou think some information might be 鈥榰seless,鈥 [but] it might help a patient someday,鈥 he notes. He also praises NYCC鈥檚 technique curriculum, and urges current students to continuously 鈥渓earn and practice well while in school.鈥

Patient care comes first for Zhang; his professionalism and compassion for his patients translates well into treatment plans. He also has a keen eye for suspected conditions confirmed with positive test results, and within his first year of practice identified two spinal pathologies undetected by radiologists.

Zhang and his wife are now permanently located in New Jersey and enjoy spending weekends and evenings in each other鈥檚 company.
