Dr. Fordyce was amazing and I have been seeing chiropractors for over 20 years. I have been in bed all week and I started looking up new chiropractors because I wanted acupuncture and it was meant to be! He had great insight and he was very kind. We have a plan to work on my back. I like the information that he gives me and he doesn’t rush through the appointment and he’s very knowledgeable. I will definitely be recommending him to all of my friends!
If you’re looking for someone who is professional, who cares about their patience and actually wants you to feel better about life in general than this is the person you need to go to. Hands down!

Dr. Fordyce was wonderful at taking the time to ask questions and work with me to find out what my injury was including trying to figure out what options there were to try and get relief. He went above and beyond what he needed to do for me and I would recommend him to anyone that needs Chiropractic or Acupuncture treatment.

Dr. Tim takes time to help each patient with their unique chiropractic needs. His expertise is instantly evident; he can find the problems without guidance and I leave feeling better every time! I have been to 4 chiropractors over the years & Dr. Tim is the best I have seen.

I arrived with leg pain. Dr. Tim quickly diagnosed my issue as tight quads. He stretched the quads and showed me exercises to do at home. He explained my tight quads affected my knees. We also talked about the importance of hydration. Highly recommend Dr. Tim.

All my visits with Dr. Fordyce are professional, efficient, helpful, and pleasant. I have been treated by Dr. Fordyce for over 4 years; he has handled and helped my lower back pain I suffered due to cheerleading and lifting. The office atmosphere is always positive and welcoming.
I could not recommend Dr. Fordyce more! He’s always willing to listen to your issues and walk you through the process.
