Dr. Preston Dantoni is the chiropractor and owner of Gate City Health. He graduated with his bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from the University of Central Florida, received his doctorate from Palmer College of Chiropractic, and continued his training at the Scoliosis Correction Clinic in Celebration, FL. Having performed thousands of adjustments and provided dozens of workshops, Dr. Preston has extensive experience and advanced certifications in spinal correction, exercise, and nutrition.

During his undergraduate studies, Dr. Preston was leaning towards becoming a P.T. or M.D. until one of his childhood best friends, Tom Nixon, started chiropractic school. Once he understood the philosophy behind it, Dr. Preston was motivated to become a chiropractor and spread the message of true health and healing to others.

At the age of 27, Dr. Preston needed emergency brain surgery to remove a life-threatening tumor. After being sent home from the successful surgery with a bag of pain pills and no advice, nutrition plan, or rehab program, he experienced severe memory loss, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional issues. He took his healing process into his own hands and went through an intensive chiropractic treatment program. The improvement in his recovery was indescribable. Because of this personal health crisis, Dr. Preston understands how easy it is to lose hope and slip into anxiety and depression. However, the sense of accomplishment, gratitude, and redemption he experienced first hand fighting for his own health is what he now fights for on behalf of his patients.

Dr. Preston’s desire is to prevent others from ever going through a health crisis. For those in the midst of one, he is passionate about helping them on their road to recovery. Having been so close to tragedy, he understands the importance of health not only to you, but also to your loved ones. He teaches his patients about true prevention and health through the five essentials so that they may live their life to its fullest potential.
