Meet our Doctors
“Since we opened the Arkansas Upper Cervical Center on March 1, 1999, God has blessed us in more ways than we can put into words. We have witnessed countless miracles over the years as our patients have found healing. We have loved the opportunity to provide education to our patient family to help them understand what Upper Cervical Care is all about and how it can truly change their lives and the lives of their loved ones.
God has blessed us with a successful practice, so much so that doctors from across the nation have come to see how we take care of our patients and how our office runs so efficiently. We have received invitations to teach other Upper Cervical doctors how to deliver the same superb care to their patients and have taught seminars on how to manage and operate a successful Upper Cervical clinic. It has been a blessing to have the opportunity to speak to and inspire other doctors to do this miraculous work so that more people can find healing.”
