APPROACH

We view the health of our patients from a multifaceted approach. We use chiropractic, physical modalities and massage to attain the best results for our patients. We specialize in a chiropractic technique called Atlas Orthogonal. This technique focuses on the upper cervical region of the spine for optimal results of many different health issues.

WHEN AND WHY

I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the healthcare field in high school. After researching many different avenues in the healthcare industry, I was impressed how effective chiropractic was in helping with so many different health issues without the use of drugs or surgery. When I discovered the Atlas Orthogonal technique, I knew where my career was heading. I am very fortunate to currently practice on a daily basis the newest and best technology that chiropractic offers. By practicing Atlas Orthogonal techniques our patients are assured they are getting the best state-of-the art technique in chiropractic.

OUTSTANDING MOMENT

The defining moment that decided my career path happened to my dad. He was playing softball and fractured his neck at the posterior arch of his atlas. From that night on he had debilitating headaches that traditional medicine could not help. He was introduced to a chiropractic specialist in Atlanta, GA, named Dr. Roy Sweat. After being under Dr. Sweat’s Atlas Orthogonal treatment for two months, his headaches were completely eliminated.

OUTSTANDING PERSON

There is no one who has been more influential in my life than my dad. I have learned how to run a successful business from his example and advice. Although my dad has passed, I will always see reminders of his character and success in my practice.

HOBBIES + PASSIONS

Since I was a kid I’ve had a passion for flying. Besides the time I spend with my family, there is nowhere I would rather be in my off time than in the sky. There’s something beautiful and thrilling about flying through the clouds.

COVID-19 CHALLENGES

COVID-19 has actually strengthened and increased our practice. During the early stages of the pandemic, we continued our dedication to serving first responders in our area. From ER doctors and nurses, firefighters, police officers, city personnel and officials, we were able to treat these first responders and keep them well on the front lines.
