Dr. Derek is without a doubt the most caring, motivational, and joyous Chiropractor I have ever had the pleasure of being adjusted by. He brings a certain quality to the table that not many others have. His sincerity in wanting nothing but the best for each and every person under his care. Awesome Chiro, Awesome Person, Awesome Friend!

I came to Dr. Derek for neck pain that was debilitating. Within five minutes of walking through the doors, I met three really nice people and had great conversations and saw Dr. Derek interacting with them as friends and on a personal level. I felt comfortable immediately and the rest of the visit was jam packed with information that I needed to hear about how my body works. Dr. Derek is passionate about giving people information and tools to improve their health and life in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments. I walked out of my first visit able to move my head with close to full range of motion and within a few weeks, my neck pain was completely gone. Not to mention that his care plans ended up being less expensive than with my insurance copays. Dr. Derek is a great chiropractor, I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Derek! Melissa

One Love has been a very important part of my family's life. Dr. Derek adjusted me all throughout my pregnancy with my daughter and helped me with my sciatic nerve pain. He continues to adjust me, my husband, and our daughters who are 3 years old and 10 weeks old. We value his opinion and respect his philosophy on wellness and health. Dr. Derek is very passionate about helping people and educating them on finding balance,physically, emotionally, and mentally to achieving optimum health.

This is how our Chiropractic story began… A friend wanted me to come with her to a talk her chiropractor was doing on positive thinking. She thought it really aligned with the way I think already. We also had an appointment with an ear, nose and throat specialist the next week to discuss putting tubes in my son’s ears. My friend obviously had another plan for me to attend that night and it was to meet Dr. Derek. I will be eternally grateful to her for this, because that night changed our lives. My son Parker had ear infections for six months straight starting at the age of 1 and was given seven antibiotics to “cure” them. Every time we went for an appointment at the pediatrician, it was the only recommendation given. I know what overuse of antibiotics can do and it was heartbreaking to fill those prescriptions. We saw no relief, he was still in pain and nighttime was pure misery for him and our entire family. We saw no change and Parker continued to have fevers, a runny nose, ear pain, limited vocabulary and side effects from all the antibiotics. Overall, he was irritable most of the time and started to have equilibrium problems and bumped into everything. He was very unhappy and our delightful child was in a state of chaos. After two visits of seeing Dr. Derek, Parker already started to see relief and so did mom and dad. We were given many options to help him get well including adjustments, introducing supplements, decreasing dairy and many others. Parker’s body was healing itself with the guidance of optimal care. He started sleeping through the night again, stopped bumping into things, his vocabulary increased tremendously and all of his “sick” symptoms were gone. He was back to being our delightful child. He has gotten regular monthly adjustments from Dr. Derek for the past four years and has been ear infection free. He is a miracle to us every day and continues to be healthy and happy thanks to Dr. Derek. From the moment I met Dr. Derek, I knew we were in the right place. He cared about our family from the day we arrived and continued to be advocates for our health and wellness during the four years that we were in his care. Our children absolutely love him and got excited to be adjusted by him. He is not in it for the money, he truly believes in healing families and teaching them how to be in optimal health. We have recommended him to so many people and each of them has seen a drastic difference in the quality of their life. We are truly blessed to have been given the gift of chiropractic care under Dr. Derek. Our family is so thankful for his kindness, personal care, friendship and sharing his knowledge with us. We completely trust him and our lives have been better from knowing him and we are eternally grateful. We are saddened that he is no longer near us, but will always hold a special place in our hearts and know the families in North Carolina will love him as much as we do! Sincerely, Missy & Craig Zilm
