Barbara Nokes
Barbara is known around the office variously as our Office Angel
or as The Renaissance Woman. She has been with us since 1994 when,
as a patient, on one of our crazy busy days, as the phone was ringing
off the hook she asked “Can I answer that for you?”
That level of caring and customer service endeared her to us as it
does to everyone she comes in contact with. She epitomizes the spirit
we constantly strive for, of doing whatever it takes to provide our
patients with an environment where people really listen and care about
them. For Barbara, the patient’s healing begins with answering
the phone.
Besides working here Barbara, is quite an accomplished musician having
played French Horn with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, the Brazilian
Symphony Orchestra and the Lancaster Festival Orchestra among others.
She also teaches music privately and is on staff with Capital University.
Barbara’s secret passions are Llamas and knitting.
Diana Keller, R.N.
Diana has been assisting with Keller Chiropractic as officer manager
ever since Dr. Keller took over from Dr. Oakley in 1990. She has been
serving the public since her teens when she helped in her family’s
restaurant. She went on to become a nurse and worked in a variety
of settings such as, a children’s hospital, hospital cardiac
care, a rural nursing home and traveling home health nurse. She has
studied healing Touch, Polarity Therapy, and Reiki and is always looking
for more time to explore these healing, compassionate modalities.
For those who haven’t figured it out yet, Diana is Dr. Keller’s
wife. In 2006 they celebrate their 30th year of marriage.
Along with the rest of the Keller Chiropractic team, Diana strives
to create an atmosphere that supports each person in every aspect
