What mentees say
In their own words, from doctors Dr. Hayden has mentored and trained.
“Dr. Hayden has been so much more than a mentor to me—he has fundamentally shaped the way I understand the human body, think as a doctor, and care for my patients every single day. One of the things I admire most about Chase is his incredible ability to communicate complex concepts in a way that makes them understandable, along with his patience and genuine willingness to take the time to explain something until it truly clicks. He has taught me not only to look deeper, ask better questions, and trust the body’s ability to guide us, but also the importance of slowing down, listening, and communicating with patients in a way that builds trust and understanding. His knowledge and mastery of Applied Kinesiology are remarkable, but his humility, generosity, and sincere desire to help others grow have left the greatest impression on me. I can honestly say I would not be the chiropractor or AK doctor I am today without his guidance, and I will forever be grateful for the wisdom, patience, and belief he has invested in me.”
Dr. Ashley Villar, DC, CFMP, Serenity Spine and Wellness
“Chase Hayden truly embodies what it means to be a doctor—‘a teacher.’ His influence extends far beyond the walls of his medical practice, reflected in the way he mentors, leads, and inspires others. His mentorship and friendship have been instrumental in shaping every facet of my life, fostering congruency, personal growth, and confidence. The provider I am today is a reflection of his leadership, guidance, and unwavering encouragement.”
Dr. Amber Horsley, DC, DCBCN, Statera, Dubuque, Iowa
“Dr. Hayden was a wonderful practitioner to intern with. He took the time to understand my goals, meet with me weekly, and help me strategize how to achieve them. He provided countless tools and resources while encouraging me to become the doctor I wanted to be rather than simply mimic someone else. As I prepare to open my own practice, I credit Dr. Hayden with helping me build the confidence in my skills to take that next step. Beyond being an excellent physician, he genuinely cares about his interns and serves as an incredible cheerleader throughout the process. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
Dr. Jess Bahan, DC, Sage Acupuncture & Chiropractic, Columbus, Ohio
“I’ve recently had the privilege of working with Dr. Hayden as part of a mentorship program. He is extremely knowledgeable and beyond dedicated to helping others. He helped me implement new systems in my practice that helped my practice grow and, most importantly, helped our patients improve with better health outcomes. I would highly recommend working with Dr. Hayden!”
Dr. Kyle Babcock, Babcock Chiropractic Clinic, OKC, Oklahoma
“Dr. Hayden showed me how to take things I already know and actually incorporate them into my everyday patient routine. I learned how to give Standard Process a spot in my everyday interaction with patients. He also helped me make SP protocols for specific patient needs. This has helped my practice grow by helping others!”
Kevyn Kennedy, ND, Optimal Health Associates, Oklahoma City, OK
“My internship with Dr. Hayden during the summer of 2025, just before graduating chiropractic school, was one of the most impactful experiences in building my confidence as a chiropractor and preparing me to become a successful business owner. With the goal of opening my own clinic and becoming profitable within the first few months, Dr. Hayden generously guided me through the process, sharing his knowledge, experience, and encouragement through early obstacles. Clinically, I learned how to effectively integrate Applied Kinesiology (AK) and Quantum Neurology (QN) into patient care without losing sight of the power of a great chiropractic adjustment. One year later, I am the proud owner of my own clinic, and I can confidently say that Dr. Hayden was instrumental in helping me turn that goal into reality. I will always be grateful for his mentorship and the support of his entire team.”
Dr. Melissa Hill, DC, ND, AloePath Wellness, Cypress, TX
