I love this place. I'm a RN and have personally seen and experienced the results of what traditional medicine does to us. I'm a critical care registered nurse and I know that so many illnesses can be prevented with just a little work on our part. Dr. Agolli and Dr. Matalone are awesome. I have thyroid issues that are finally more balanced. I've personally done the chelation treatments which I believe are helping tremendously. Is it an expense? Yes. But I believe it is an investment to better health. Trust these people. Do what they say. Give it some time for the process to work.

Great news today! My thyroid antibodies are normal. I'm 62 years old and it is a first! I love you all for the great work you are doing. It took a while for my lab work to look this good. I encourage everybody to keep persevering. Thank you Dr. Agolli and dr. Matalone.

I have been going to Progressive for 2 years now and have managed to get my nutrition within normal levels which the normal medical community could not, found my many food and other allergies, found my heavy metal poisoning (Patti Matalone is in charge of the IV therapy room and they are all compassionate, caring people!) and have almost totally eliminated aluminum from my body-did get rid of the masses on my brain which were most likely aluminum-my father passed away from Alzheimer's and they have found aluminum on the brain of autopsies of Alzheimer's patients. Dr. Gez Agolli started me on Vinpocetine 2 years ago, an herbal supplement that has recently caught the medical world's eyes due to the fact that it can prevent or at least slow the progression of Alzheimer's! I do take after my father genetically; but with Progressive's help maybe I can break the cycle and not get it as it does run in my family before my father too! Additionally, with the help of Dr. Frank Matalone, I have overcome my osteopenia and my bone density is now within normal limits-great news for someone with arthritis and cervical and lumbar nerve damage! PLUS, the prolozone shots with Matrix physical therapy (Dr. Mike G. handles physical therapy and other treatments) has cured my knee osteoarthritis which was bone on bone and I now can walk up stairs with NO PAIN! I do plan on continuing my treatments and follow up for years to come; but I won't kid you-it does cost money for the supplements that you DO need to take to get your body back on track. I take way more than the normal patient and will continue to do so as they are the ONLY ones who could help me from my malnutrition due to failed gastric bypass. There are many patients who I have seen come, find their problems, do treatments and take supplements, detox, or many other very helpful things, get better and move on with their life! Any medical facility with state of the art technology and the latest helpful natural approaches can cost more than what insurance companies want to pay; but so many places are that way. The one thing that Progressive DOES do is for every new patient they do sit down and go through what your insurance will cover etc. right up front and after every appt. you actually "check out" with the billing dept so there shouldn't be any surprises! There are more things I plan on doing there; but I do have to budget our money and time so I hope they don't get tired of seeing me there!! My advice is if you don't feel right and the medical community hasn't fully helped you, aren't YOU WORTH taking care of so you can optimally enjoy the rest of your life?

With Progressive Medical Center you'll never feel better!

ProgressiveMed2013_Taylor.jpg
It took a long time for my co-worker JoAnn to convince me to make an appointment with Progressive Medical Center. I never liked going to the doctor and I’ve had some really bad experiences when I have gone. She finally lured me in by telling me about their new wellness exam. I honestly thought that when they got the results back, they would congratulate me for being so healthy. I exercise a lot, try to eat healthy, etc. Instead, they discovered that I had a severe Thyroid problem! I thought I was tired all the time from getting up at 3:20am every day for the Morning Show. Now that my thyroid is being regulated with all-natural supplements, I have so much more energy. I have learned so much about healthy living through Progressive Medical Center. I love knowing I’m now taking the supplements that my body needs, rather than just hoping I’m taking the right ones. The Progressive Medical Center Pain Management Center has been life changing for me as well. I was training for a marathon when I developed hip pain. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to run any more. But Dr. Melissa Arnold not only helped me through the initial injury, but taught me how to do specific stretches and routines to avoid injury in the future. She has since helped me with other injuries from trail running, mountain biking and road cycling. I recommend her to anyone with an active lifestyle. I love knowing that I have Progressive Medical Center in my life not just to help me be vibrant, age better, and feel better; but also that I have a team of doctors who care about me, that I can count on should any new medical need arise. I saw them a few years back for the common flu and thanks to their combination of traditional and integrative medicine, I was back on my feet long before family and friends. It’s so easy to recommend Progressive Medical Center to Fish listeners, my family and friends, because I know they’ll be living their lives well, feeling their best!

Dr. Arnold helped change my overall health

"Dr. Arnold helped change my overall health, not just through Chiropractic but with concern to my whole body. She assisted me with stretches to alleviate igraine headaches and used method's that I have never gotten from a chiropractor before. I now live almost two hours from Dr. Arnold's office and still drive to her for periodic check-up's. It is well worth the trip."

I recommend Dr. Arnold wholeheartedly.

I was first referred to Dr. Melissa Arnold when I got in a car accident. While the car accident was not a major one, my body definitely felt jolted and sore. Dr. Arnold took me in immediately and within just a few visits I was back to normal. The pain dissipated without consequence. She is extremely gentle, thorough, thoughtful and effective. She has remained completely consistent with every appointment since my first visit. I recommend Dr. Arnold wholeheartedly.

I highly recommend Dr. Arnold to anyone seeking healing

Having been a bodyworker for twelve years, I have been exposed to many different chiropractors during that time. Dr. Melissa Arnold is by far one of the very best chiropractors and healers I have encountered. When she adjusts me, I feel that she is truly present with me, tuning into exactly what is going on in my particular body, and addressing what issues she finds with the greatest care, skill, and respect for me as her patient. Her adjustments themselves are painless, very specific and appropriate, and always have addressed not only the issue I came in with but my overall feelings of balance, clarity, energy, and wellness. I highly recommend Dr. Arnold to anyone seeking healing for a specific issue as well as those wanting greater overall health and vitality.

I ran my fastest 10k in three years within the first week of treatment at PMC!

As a triathlete, I am very good at ignoring pain when I am in the middle of a long run or grueling bike ride. However, I was at the point that I was living with major lower back pain all the time. When my vehicle was rear-ended, it aggravated a herniated disc that I had suffered a couple of years ago. I heard about Progressive Medical Center through my favorite radio station (104.7 the FISH). I was amazed at the swift recovery that I received from Progressive Medical Center under the care of Dr. Melissa Arnold. She was so knowledgeable of my injury and willing to take the time to listen to my concerns. I have tried chiropractic care before, but Dr. Arnold is in a class all by herself. She was able to pinpoint my misalignment and use several techniques specifically designed for herniated discs that had me more concerned about my cardiovascular shape rather than my back-pain. In fact, I ran my fastest 10k in three years within the first week of treatment at PMC! If you are tired of living with and managing the pain, give PMC a chance to eliminate it. Thanks PMC and Dr. Arnold for helping me LIVE MY LIFE WELL! Craig AKA "Mightymouse"

...my pain level has dropped from an 8 to a 4

I had been suffering from sciatica pain for 5 months when I went to Progressive Medical for help. I was taking 12 Advil per day and that was not taking the edge off anymore. I had pain down my leg and throbbing pain in my hip. One of the Doctors there suggested I should have an MRI done. After determining that I had a herniated disc at L5 and some other degenerating going on in other discs the Doctors at Progressive referred me to Dr Melissa Arnold. Right away she suggested that I try Decompression Therapy She let me know that my condition was very severe. I was willing to try anything to keep from having back surgery. After 6 visits going to her office 3 times a week I started noticing a big difference. I was able to sit through a church service without being in so much pain that I had to stand in the back of the church. I have continued to improve. Dr Arnold and her assistant have been there to support me the whole way by giving me exercises to strengthen my core and in the beginning to manage my pain with different therapies. I was recently able to sit through a play that my two girls were starring in and that was an amazing feeling. Now after 22 decompression sessions over 11 weeks with Dr. Arnold, my pain level has dropped from an 8 to a 4. I am not pain free yet but I'm committed to the process and so thankful for her support both physically and emotionally.

After one visit, I knew I was in good hands.

My name is Michelle Simpson, I am 44 years old and have been a Dental Hygienist for 20 years and during this time I have been getting fairly regular care from chiropractors. I had ruptured my L5 disc in high school, when a friend pulled a chair from underneath me and I had surgery then in 1982. Since then I have been pain free and active, until June 26 2010, when out for a routine jog, I experienced immobilizing pain in my low back, I spent a day on ice and taking Ibuprofen, without any improvement.

I was familiar with that kind of pain and I was having flashbacks to my previous injury and scared I would be again facing surgery. I could hardly move or get in and out of bed alone. I tried a day or two of muscle relaxers, steroids, anti-inflammatory medications prescribed by my general physician and again found little to no relief.

I had one visit with Dr. Melissa Arnold, where she assessed, provided me with relief using adjustments, some flexion distraction and she introduced me to her Decompression Table. She explained everything so thoroughly and made me feel safe and hopeful. Those two things are priceless to a patient in pain.

The treatment was so beneficial and helpful. After one visit, I knew I was in good hands. I have thus far had 3 more visits with Dr. Arnold and am almost pain free. I no longer believe that I am surgery bound and believe her techniques and modalities and the use of her Decompression Table have offered me a different avenue of healing and recovery.

I am feeling much better.

Upon coming to PMC I was recovering from gallbladder surgery of 5 months earlier - I still had many issues from that surgery and gaining 10 lbs a month, other doctors told me there was nothing wrong. When I first came to PMC they conducted many exams, blood work, saliva tests, and hair tests. These tests showed I had metal toxicity - (lead and mercury) and that my digestive system was heavily compromised, and not to mention adrenals and high blood pressure. Through many natural therapies and natural medications along with an organic diet, purified water and a mere peaceful lifestyle, I am feeling much better. The staff at PMC collectively has been most supportive in helping me be a healthy person again.

I was most impressed

I was most impressed by the fact that we have physicians that are Christian knowledgeable, and take time to listen, analyze, and provide customized care. The journey has been slow, but evident when I do my part (operative word - when). The staff is great. Kris is the best! AKA "Jenny". Dr. Agolli & Dr. Bouquette, along with Bryan, and many have been an intricate part of my total care. Now I'm taking personal training to complete my program.

After suffering over seven years with chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia and other problems, I discovered Progressive Medical Center. The team of doctors did not give me a band aid to treat my symptoms. They worked together to find the cause of my ailments. Now that I am well, they have taught me how to maintain a healthy life. I am sparkling and energized. I feel great! I am glowing and sparkling once again...

I was impressed by their approach

I was desperate when I came to Progressive. I saw the ad in the paper, did the little test and called. I did not tell my husband was coming for an initial visit. My insurance did not cover the service. I wasn't working at the time but really needed help. I was impressed by their approach of seeking and treating the root cause and supporting the approach with visible lab results. I'm very pleased with the service. My husband was so impressed with my improvement that he changed our insurance the next year and became a patient himself.
