Meet Dr. Rob van Zweeden
Over Four Decades of Experience
Dr. van Zweeden, known for years as Dr. Rob, has been in full-time practice (except for some pretty good vacation breaks) since graduating in 1980 from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.
He returned to his native New Zealand after graduating, where he established a clinic in Hamilton, part of the country’s farming heartland. He returned to the U.S. in 1986, and in 1988 established his own clinic in Northeast Phoenix, AZ, which was on the outskirts of town. The city grew around him, and though he moved the office from time to time as the practice grew, he never moved more than a mile from the original clinic site.
He sold the clinic to his remaining partners at the start of 2012 and moved to Anchorage in February of that year, after a short trip back to New Zealand to see family. He purchased Laurel Street Chiropractic & Rehab in 2012 and has been serving the community ever since.

Away From the Office
Dr. Rob’s interests have meant that staying in good health is a priority. He continues to play Masters’ rugby (this year being invited to play in Colorado in the ‘Over 50 and Over 60’s’ tournaments), as well as local team competitions here in Alaska. He has been, and continues to be, a player, coach and team physician for the teams with which he plays. His other interests include water skiing, snow skiing, horse riding and sailing.
