A New Albany chiropractor with a practice in Clarksville is under investigation for sexual misconduct after four female patients have filed complaints with police since 2007.
Dr. Robert Matthew Nolan — who goes by his middle name and operates Nolan Chiropractic Center at 1370 Veterans Parkway — has been accused of touching two women in their private areas and kissing two underage girls without their consent. All of the allegations reportedly occurred at his practice.
Nolan, 39, denies he ever kissed or touched a patient inappropriately.
“I’ve never done anything even remotely illegal or immoral in my practice, or outside my practice for that matter,” Nolan told The Evening News and The Tribune. “I have a family. I have children. I’m very active in my church. I have a decent practice. And I’m well-respected in the community.”
According to his Web site, Nolan has four daughters and volunteers with the New Albany High School Dog Dads program.
One Jeffersonville woman, 21 at the time, talked to Clarksville Police Department detectives a couple days after Nolan allegedly touched her Dec. 5, 2007.
According to a police report, Nolan was rubbing the woman’s upper thighs when his hand went under her underwear and brushed her private area. At that time, she reportedly told him to stop.
She told The Evening News that it was her fourth or fifth visit. She said that in her previous visit, she thought Nolan was touching her inappropriately, but said nothing.
“I thought maybe I was being over-sensitive,” she said. “You trust a doctor. You think whatever he’s doing, he’s supposed to do.”
The woman said Nolan had seemed friendly and had Biblical sayings and pictures of his family in his office.
When she left after that final visit, she said she noticed that the receptionist had left and she and Nolan had been alone in the office. Nolan denies that he was ever alone with a patient.
