Meet Our Doctor

Clinic Director | Southeast Family Chiropractic, Gastonia, NC
Dr. Crown Hoffman has been a chiropractor in the Gaston County region for over 20 years. Originally from Bessemer City, he attended North Gaston High School, graduating in 1998.
He continued his education at Lenior Rhyne College (now University) in Hickory, NC where he studied Sacred Music and obtained his BS in Biology.
While attending LR, a chance injury landed him in a chiropractic office, and his care there changed his career trajectory.
After careful research and consideration, he chose to attend Logan University in St. Louis, Missouri where he obtained his Doctor of Chiropractic, training in Acupuncture, and an additional BS in Human Biology. While attending Logan, he was introduced to his future wife and love of his life, Dr. Katherine Hoffman!
Upon moving back home to Gaston County, Drs. Hoffman practiced in Charlotte, NC for 6 years as associates under the direction of (dec) Dr. Fletcher Keith, DC at Keith Clinic of Chiropractic. In 2011 Drs. Hoffman purchased Southeast Chiropractic: The Motion Centers and later changed the name years later to Southeast Family Chiropractic, to more reflect the passion for family and wellness care that they both shared.
Dr. Crown provides traditional chiropractic care, acupuncture, laser therapy, VA chiropractic care, personal injury care, prenatal chiropractic (Webster Certified), and DOT exams. He is also in the midst of training to offer functional medicine to our community!

In his free time, Dr. Crown is an avid outdoorsman and musician. He spends almost all of his free time outside: camping and hiking on a local trail or in the blue ridge mountains. He is a church musician (trumpet) and serves as lead trumpet for the Stardusters Big Band, performing throughout North Carolina and the local Charlotte region. Along with Dr. Kate and their children, Jordan and Elena, he enjoys traveling and experiencing the beautiful world that God has created for us.
