Meet Dr. Carlos Tagabuel
Meet Dr. Carlos Tagabuel, one of our Joint Regenerative Specialists. He earned his undergraduate degrees in Neuroscience and Chemistry in 2009 before going on to receive his doctorate from the National University of Natural Medicine.
Prior to becoming a physician, Dr. Tagabuel worked as a Medication Technician, where he witnessed firsthand the high volume of medications prescribed—particularly among elderly patients—and the lack of meaningful doctor-patient connection. This experience inspired him to pursue a different approach to care. He is passionate about building strong relationships with his patients, serving as a guide to help them better understand their conditions and take an active role in their healing.
Dr. Tagabuel is especially drawn to regenerative medicine for its ability to support the body’s natural healing processes and potentially reduce the need for surgery and long-term pain medication. He enjoys treating a wide range of patients, from younger individuals recovering from acute injuries or joint trauma to older adults managing chronic pain. He finds it especially rewarding to help patients regain mobility and improve their quality of life at any stage.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Tagabuel enjoys staying active through outdoor activities like kayaking and camping, and he values spending quality time with his family.
