Chiropractor Patricia Tomlinson-Long D.C.

She was contemplating chiropractic as a profession when she picked up a brochure, saw the education requirements, returned the brochure, and headed down another path. She attended Texas Tech University in pursuit of a degree of Electrical Engineering. Realizing her personality was suited to serve others in a different way, she contemplated a different path to take over her father's business or become an Elementary Education teacher. Her journey only led her back to God's original calling for her to serve families and children through healthcare. She graduated from Parker University, formerly Parker Chiropractic College, in August 1996. Her personal experiences have added more drive for her to explore different areas of health and chiropractic. In 2016, Dr. Patty began a personal struggle of health that resulted from a toxic mold exposure and heavy metal toxicity, later to discover an underlying issue with breast implant illness. Since that time, she has dedicated her studies to helping those with symptoms of neurotoxic meditated illness and discovering the missing pieces related to health through a functional medicine paradigm, knowing that removing the interferences that prevents optimal performance and function of the body is necessary to truly live a full life. Therefore, Dr. Patty is dedicated to each patient to dig deep for all causes of health struggles and strives to provide the most scientific and researched care, thinking out of the box, to individualize care for each patient she finds herself lucky to serve. As a result of her goals and passions, and after years of helping patients, continual extensive studies, and testing, Dr. Patty became an Institute of Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner.

Dr. Patty is a blessed mother of 5 wonderful kids: Christian, Dayne, J.T., Coltan, and Trinity. She is active in her faith and church. She loves to dance and enjoys movies. When she is not in the office, you will most likely find her at the dance studio with her daughter, attending sporting events of her sons, or at home spending time with her kids. She can also often be found studying and learning more about every aspect of health.
