Dr. Nakata, a fourth generation Japanese-American was born in Seattle 	and raised in the Pierce County community of Graham. His high academic 	achievements, along with his athletic awards in tennis and basketball, 	earned him scholarships that helped him complete his science requirements 	at the University of Washington.

In February of 1993, David was very fortunate to be able to assume the 	practice of Dr. Gordon Mendenhall, noted as one of Seattle's finest chiropractors 	for over 20 years. He renamed the clinic "Ballard Wellness Clinic" to emphasize 	his positive approach to health and life.

Watching his son , Colten, excel in Tae kwon do or helping out his daughter, Hope's, select soccer team.
