Dr Pridgen is literally classified in my life as one of my heros. He has helped me for 26 yrs, from Scoliosis 12 yrs old - now, to a head on collision & most recently Collapsed Discs that were crippling. He has saved me from having to live a lifestyle around pain & I have recommended a couple of dozen people that He has also saved from pain. There is no other chiropractor like him, wholeheartedly concerned about the patient. His staff is the sweetest Girls around also!

If there were more stars I would definitely give them to Dr. Pridgen. 15 years ago I had a disc out in my back, the medical doctor wanted to do surgery and fuse my spine. I went to Dr Pridgen, he put me on one of his machines and put the disc back into place. He also gave me exercises I needed to do to strengthen my back, I have been pain-free for 15 years. Recently I went back to him because I was having some dizziness, he looked at my x-rays and saw that my problem was in my neck.... now I can say, I no longer have any more dizziness. I would highly recommend Dr. Pridgen to anyone. Thank you so much to Dr Pridgen and his staff.

Dr. Pridgen is the best! He explained everything to me thoroughly and made sure I'm getting better with my every visits! He's very thoughtful and caring. I've been diagnosed with sciatica and I'm very grateful I was able to avoid surgery because I found this place!!!!
