Meet Dr. Steve

I should start by telling you that I absolutely love my profession. I’ve been eliminating pain now for 30+ years, and I can honestly say that it’s more exciting today than the day I began! Why? I guess because with modern technology and the state-of-the-art therapies that are available today, I can help patients recover from their injuries FASTER than I could when I first began.

My Beliefs

I believe in using the latest technology to help people recover quickly. I have an extremely high success rate at my office, but if I’m unable to help you, (which is kind of rare), I’ll personally help my patient explore other possibilities.

My Philosophy

As long as there is someone in pain, I’ll be there to help them. I have been known to see patients on Christmas day….many times actually….over the years. Severe pain doesn’t take a holiday!

My Introduction to chiropractic

I became involved with chiropractic care through a sports injury I suffered in my later teenage years. I can remember the pain like it was yesterday. Through a fellow gym member, I was introduced to a chiropractor, who restored my health in a little over two weeks. This felt like a true miracle to me, because I had been diagnosed with two herniated discs in my lower back. I could barely walk. Over the years, I had several sports-related injuries, but each time my chiropractor, Dr. George, was able to get me out of pain swiftly. One day while at Dr. George’s office, I complimented him on his skills and the power of chiropractic. His response was, “You enjoy chiropractic so much; why don’t you go back to school and become a chiropractor? ” I told George that I was thirty-one years old. He said, “It’s never too late to pursue something you really love.” George was right! I enrolled in Life Chiropractic University in Marietta, Georgia, in 1991 and graduated in 1995. I’ve been practicing chiropractic now for over three decades, and I can say without hesitation that I’m enjoying an absolutely amazing career. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Becoming a chiropractor was the best decision of my life! …apologies to my wife!!!

Dr. Prefer’s Expertise in the State of the Art Therapies

Dr. Prefer utilizes many specialized therapies aimed at decreasing pain, inflammation, lactic acid buildup, and scar tissue within the joints of the spine and surrounding musculoskeletal tissue.

Dr. Steve also utilizes a handheld device called the Arthro Stimulator to deliver controlled impulses/corrections to specific areas of the body, facilitating spinal realignment and promoting overall wellness. This technique is particularly beneficial for individuals who prefer to be adjusted WITHOUT HEARING A CRACKING SOUND. This technique substitutes force with speed, which allows for spinal corrections that are noise-free.

Your Experience at Our Practice

When you enter our Palm Beach Gardens chiropractic office, you will feel a sense of tranquility. There is a reason for that! Everything in the office has a purpose, from the artwork chosen to the soft colors on the walls. Being in pain is stressful enough, so we made a conscious effort to put your mind at ease before you’re even treated. The effects of a positive mental attitude are truly amazing. You would not believe how often over the years that I have seen it speed up someone’s healing time.

 

When it comes to being treated, you will never feel rushed at our office. Schedules are set spaciously, so patients have plenty of time for treatment and any questions that they may have afterward. 

 

When referencing the doctor/patient relationship, I will offer you caring, down-to-earth, personal attention. I will always be honest with you about your issue. I will guide you but NEVER pressure you. You will always walk away feeling that I went the extra mile for you.
