Dr. Tim and Melissa go above and beyond each and every appointment. It’s always a pleasure to see them. They make you feel like you matter. Our medical system could learn a lot from this office! Thank you both for caring! Thank you Dr. Dugas for sharing your knowledge.

After only 2+ months at Atlas Specific I no longer have lower back pain, my posture has improved and my over all energy flow has increased. I feel like my body is finally running on all cylinders. I love the positive energy you feel when you enter their space…truly medicinal. Thank you Dr. Dugas and Melissa!

Dr. Tim is very thorough and caring. He has helped me a great deal. He is the only chiropractor that has been able to adjust my neck on both sides. Everything about this practice is top notch.

Dr. Tim is such a gift... His focus on upper cervical spinal care is a potent and empowering contribution to this community, as the way that the brain communicates information to the rest of the body is ESSENTIAL for ALL health. He is well rounded and intuitive, utilizing a variety of methods to support me to heal. His adjustments are firm, yet gentle. The zero gravity chairs in the resting room are the highlight of my day, and I feel like they really allow my body to integrate the adjustment. Overall, I think that committing to working with Dr. Tim is definitely the most worthy investment in health that you can make.

I would highly recommend this practice. Tim is wonderful, very attentive to my specific concerns. Not only has my neck pain gone away, but he is supporting me in my pregnancy with pelvic alignment. Couldnt be more grateful to finally have found a chiropractor that I trust.

Dr. Tim is an excellent healer. His authentic personalized care makes you feel as if you are the only patient in his clinic. The clinic itself is beautifully well thought out and the personal artistic touches make you feel cozy. I have suffered from neck pain and weakness all my life and now I dont have any neck pain!

Atlas specific has been absolutely incredible for Me. I had very frustrating knot in my back that other chiropractors have not been able to get rid of. Just the other day I thought remembered that it used to bother me and now it is completely gone. Atlas specific is an amazing upper cervical chiropractor that operates on another level. Their customer care is absolutely fabulous!!!!! The atmosphere is one of incredible hope and healing!

They took amazing personalized care of my husband and my son. My husband had been receiving traditional chiropractic care for years with some benefit, but had to go back frequently to be readjusted. Once he started going to Atlas Specific, the frequency of adjustments dropped drastically after the first group of sessions. He felt that his adjustments held longer, his headaches stayed away much longer, and he felt better overall. Highly recommend!

Each time I visit Atlas Specific I learn something new: the body is designed for healing; exploring stored emotional energy brings opportunity for growth and further healing; keeping communication flowing from the brain to the rest of the body is essential for optimal health and wellness. Doctors Tim, Danielle, and Clay have helped me successfully resolve several persistent issues. They all are so kind and caring. Thank you, Atlas Specific!

I have had nothing but an overwhelmingly positive experience with Atlas Specific and Dr. Tim has played a major role in helping me to keep my quite painful and spontaneously recurring Trigeminal Neuralgia under control. It has been over a year since I first began treatment and I havent had a serious episode since then. The care and support from the entire office has been life changing for me-I have nothing but gratitude and respect for their knowledge and their empathy.

Fantastic experience!Atlas Specific is unlike any other care center Ive ever been too. From the comfortable atmosphere of the office interior design, to the friendly and calm receptionist, and the complimentary hot tea. Atlas Specific sets out the vibe of making the patient feel welcomed and relaxed. Each doctor at Atlas specific is laid-back but at the sometime more so professional and understanding with there patients. I personally have almost 20 visits and NEVER did i feel rushed or ignored like some medical offices do. At Atlas Specific i have had all my questions answered and have seen results for the better with each visit.Atlas Specific has also helped me learn and understand the body anatomy and how it functions. In this day in age where life seems go go go and rushed. Atlas Specific takes the proper amount of time to help you heal and grow.

Dr. Danielle has been a keystone in my health journey this past year. Through her care I have seen so many different sifts and changes in my life not only has my pain gone away but my overall health has increased and I feel like every time I walk out of Atlas I have an extra pep in my step.Dr. Danielle is a fountain of knowledge and I feel so comfortable in her presence, she really makes me feel heard and understood. I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to check out Atlas Specific and start getting care today!Thanks for giving me my life back Dr. Danielle!

Entire staff is so welcoming, caring and helpful. Doctors are very knowledgeable about the health and well being of the spine as it relates to the health and well being of your entire body and its systems! They explained the entire process thoroughly, and why its important to stick with your care plan but when things were staying where they needed, they didnt pressure me into more appointments than necessary. First class care!

I Started seeing Dr. Tim about a month ago. I have a lazy eye and my upper cervical gets thrown out of whack from time to time leaving me crippled with stiffness and headaches, which affects my lazy eye. After the first three visits I started seeing amazing results in my eye function and my neck has held the adjustment better then any other adjustments I’ve had.The space is so welcoming and both Tim and Danielle are so much fun and knowledgeable to be around ! It’s the highlight of my week and I suggest you make it yours too!

I went to Dr.Tim sceptical that chiropractic service would help.....I am now a true believer!!! After years of headaches and neck pain I have gotten significant relief.

These people! ARE AMAZING!!!➡️Their service.... couldn’t be better➡️Their kindness... above and beyond➡️Their work.... seriously is the best because of their passion for what they do and for making a difference in people’s lives. Every single day ❤️➡️They have completely changed my life. I went into their office with my depression so low I didn’t think it could get worse. I hurt. Everywhere. I was in so much pain but had accepted it as my way of life. I had 3 plus migraines a week. I didn’t have a life.✨now thanks to these amazing and caring people I have a life. I am happy to wake up in the morning and face the day! But most of all I always look forward to going to their office and seeing them because they have been such a HUGE inspiration in my life!➡️ It takes commitment. It took me driving the 3 hours to their office 3 times a week. It takes writing your goals down. It took me telling myself I can do this and I will. BUT the best part of all is Dr Tim and Dr Danielle have been here the whole time helping me.. encouraging me and telling me over and over not to give up. because anything worth having doesn’t come easy!💫 THANK YOU DR TIM & DR DANIELLE!I love you guys so much! ❤️

Dr. Tim has helped me a great deal with neck and shoulder pain. Treatments are unique to your needs for the day as opposed to being generic adjustments. Everyone in the office is kind and caring. There is never a long wait. And, Dr. Tim is knowledgeable about many aspects of healthcare including energy testing. Highly recommend treatments at Atlas Specific Chiropractic.

I feel very welcome and like that my concerns are immediately addressed. My lower back pain thats been with me for over 2 years has narrowed to a small ache and is improving after every visit.

Dr. Tim and Dr. Danielles upper cervical specific approach has absolutely changed my life.

Dr. Tim and Danielle are highly intuitive chiropractors. I originally went in for chronic neck and shoulder pain and over the course of a few months the pain has completely gone! Dr. Tim intuitively finds the places in my body that need adjusting. As well as Danielle who helped a great deal with women’s issues, after pregnancy pelvic adjustments, etc. I highly recommend!

I have suffered from leg pain for nearly 5 years resulting in taking pain killers every day. I have undergone x-rays, MRIs, acupuncture, PT, chiropractic care, and numerous other treatments. I was told I would mostly likely need to undergo exploratory surgery to determine the problem. I have been seeing Tim and Danielle for about 3 months and have seen incredible improvement. I am no longer taking pain medications and continue to see progress. I highly recommend Atlas Specific as they have undoubtedly made a huge impact in my life.

I was really glad to find Atlas and Tim. After the cervical care chiropractor I had gone to for 20 years retired, I used regular chiropractors and never felt good for long. So glad to be back with a cervical care chiropractor. Tim goes out of his way to keep me feeling good.

Review №35

Doctors Danielle, Tim, and Clayton have never failed to amaze me in their attentive care. I used to be plagued by chronic migraines. Over the last year of chiropractic care, I have seen them become less severe, less often, and now, almost a rarity. Upper cervical chiropractic is the miracle cure, if ever there was one! It’s helped my body heal itself more efficiently.I also know I can turn to Atlas Specific and the doctors‘ vast range of knowledge to help me figure out and address things like sinus infections, or even obscure GI or skin problems (through muscle testing). I am grateful for the care I’ve received (and continue to receive). I look forward to each appointment and I relish the peace that grows in the office.

Dr. Danielle and Dr. Tim are incredible Chiropractors and healers! Im grateful I found them because theyve changed my life. I suffered from headaches, depression, anxiety and couldnt sleep. Now I sleep restfully, feel energized, and more myself.The office has a relaxing, friendly and feel good atmosphere. Theres great music playing and inspirational quotes, with a waiting room full of people happy to be there. You really feel the love in this place. My favorite is the resting room with zero gravity chairs!Dr. Tim listened to my concerns with patience and educated me about what Chiropractic is and how it helps the body heal naturally. Youll receive tons of value, resources and support. I highly recommend!

Review №37

I was referred to Atlas Specific by a friend after complaining about neck pain. Upper Cervical care has affected me in only positive ways. I was at my worst emotionally and mentally, and never thought that adjustments to my neck would also adjust my attitude. I was not only enjoying whatever physically prompted my happier mood, but also looking forward to my appointments with an amazing and friendly staff. Physically I feel like a new person. The chronic neck and back pain had gone away, along with other annoyances I never expected. Things like my acid reflex and migraines had completely subsided. Even if I came in with an acute pain from my lifestyle between my appointments, Danielle always seemed to get me feeling great before I left. Now, I can drink spaghetti and red wine without fear of debilitating acid reflex. I would recommend this type of specialized health care to everyone. The science makes so much sense. There are all kinds of aliments that can be treated by freeing the brainstem of interference. I have felt and heard of changes due to upper cervical care that have been life-changing, and I hope everyone would take advantage of something that can help them feel and live better.

Went in initially I had chronic / almost severe pain in my neck. My BP was 210/105 and my A1C was 6.9. 3 weeks later the pain was greatly decreased and manageable (from 8-9 to 2-3). 2 months later my BP was down to normal range (120/78) and my A1C was 4.9. Go figure. All I asked for when I went in was some pain relief. What I got was much more than that. Almost miraculous.

One year ago, I was involved in a car accident in which I suffered a whiplash from a rear end collision. After receiving treatment at the local ER, I was referred to Atlas Specific Chiropractic where I met Dr. Tim Dugas. Immediately, I discovered that Dr. Tim is a very compassionate individual who genuinely cares to improve the lives of his patients (I truly cannot say enough about that). Right after the accident, I was bedridden for about a week and a half with no desire to do anything but stare at the ceiling with cold/hot packs. However, shortly after initializing treatments, Dr. Tim helped me to feel less pain and more mobility in my upper cervical area. Dr. Tim also helped me to keep a positive attitude and through diagnostics, treatments, and recommended exercises, I have improved, specifically in my range of motion (ROM) left and right and my headaches and dizziness is completely alleviated. Pain in my trapezius muscles and C-spine has also improved considerably. Currently I am in what is called the strengthening/maintenance phase of care to know that my atlas/axis region of my spine is maintaining my corrective adjustments and to also to continue to improve. Dr. Tim Dugas has really been helping me and I cannot adequately express my gratitude enough for his expertise and compassionate care in my case. Southwest Colorado is extremely fortunate to have such a qualified physician and I highly recommend Atlas Specific to all who need this type of care.

Migraines are gone! As is lower back pain. Id suffered with both for about 30 years, getting migraines between one and six times each month, which were not always remedied by the prescription migraine pills (that carry their own risks and side effects). With upper cervical manipulation, as well as some terrific holistic care, I not only have those occasional lower back slips/issues and Ive chucked my migraine meds as well. Couldnt be happier. (PS, drinking more water always helps, too! Who knew?) I highly recommend this professional staff for health and wellness.

Dr. Tim Dugas has been my healing angel, not once but twice. April 2018 a friend grabbed me for a hug and then pushed me back after completing her “hug”. I call it the heimlich hug. She apparently is unaware of her strength. This resulted in painful whiplash. I found my way to Atlas Specific and Dr. Tim Dugas. He treated me until February 2019. I felt so great to not have any more neck/shoulder/back pain. Well, as Providence would have it, upon returning home from a vacation in the Yukon I was rear ended at a red light March 14th-not even a month after being healed. Once again the pain of whiplash had returned for the second time. Back to Dr. Tim for treatment. The second time the healing process only took a couple of months. This can be attributed to the fact that full healing and alignment had been achieved the first time around. I highly recommend Atlas Specific and Dr. Tim Dugas for cervical adjustment and care.

Review №44

I started seeing Dr. Tim in Denver to address my chronic acid reflux. After my first adjustment, I felt so relaxed that I fell asleep, and I felt mentally clearer than I had in ages.  I didn’t even initially realize that my range of motion in my neck was restricted, but it improved with regular care.  I would and do recommend this specialized type of chiropractic care to others because it was explained so well and it just made sense to me.  It is tough to find chiropractors who practice this way, so when I planned a family trip to Durango, CO I made sure to make an appointment with Dr. Tim while I was in town.

Review №45

I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia 9 years ago and have been treated by several neurologists. I must say that I felt like a human guinea pig all of that time. Ive suffered through many trials of oral medications, BOTOX injections, and dry needling with very insignificant relief, or intolerable side effects. My quality of life didnt have much quality. The unending painful neck spasms constantly pulled my head into a sideways tilt, so severe at times my head would be forced to lay on my shoulder. The spasms interfered with everything! Sleep was almost nonexistent, walking was difficult with my head tilted over so far, and I had given up on ever having my former ability to enjoy things I wanted and needed to do. The neurologists told me they could offer nothing else but surgically implanting stimulation wires in my brain. WHAT!! Then I found Dr. Tim Dugas at Atlas Specific Upper Cervical Care in March 2020. He was recommended by my husband and friends, all being treated successfully for their disorders. Tim x-rayed my cervical spine and found the 1st and 2nd neck vertebrae were out of alignment. These are the first vertebrae out of the skull and the misalignment was pressing on my brain stem just enough to interfere with nerve communication between my brain (where the dystonia symptoms originate) to my affected muscles. After my first adjustment my neck had very little tilt and didnt have any spasms or pain! The time length of relief at this acute stage is limited for now and I will require further adjustments to reach my goal of feeling I have quality to my life again. I feel so relieved to be involved with something I KNOW works! I wish I had found Tim a long time ago! He is a very caring and knowledgeable person and practitioner!

Clay has been my chiropractor for years now, and the amazing skill and talent he possesses is exceptional. It is truly a gift to be under his care.

Dr. Clay is super healing in his energy, his enthusiasm and his talent. Ive seen countless amazing improvements in peoples quality of life since working for him. I have seen people with Parkinsons suddenly not need to use their cane, people with MS see symptoms DISAPPEAR, people with epilepsy no longer suffer from seizures, and many folks just seem brighter since starting upper cervical care! Personally, I no longer need my sleeping meds after a lifetime of chronic insomnia. Since starting upper cervical care, I sleep great! I encourage anyone and everyone to check it out, stick with care for a while, and see the results, from subtle to extreme, in every aspect of your life.

Review №55

Upper Cervical Care is a whole new world! Its not nearly as invasive as regular chiropractic, but yet makes a world of a difference. I cant believe Ive never heard about it before finding Atlas Specific. As someone who has grown up being adjusted with regular chiropractic, I was blown away to find something that actually healed my pain rather than maintaining my comfort. From a young age I have suffered headaches, back pain, stomach pain, knee issues, and left hip aches. All of it has resolved through care here. Yes, I still go in for regular adjustments, but Id rather have lifelong care that keeps me pain-free rather than lifelong pain that slowly tears my body (and life) down. Plus, Drs. Tim, Danielle, and Clay are all so wonderful! They truly care about their patients and are willing to take the time to actually get to know each one. You can see that their hearts are for the people, not themselves. Even their front desk is treated as if her dreams, happiness, and life are their priority, not just hers. Should you go and see what Atlas Specific is all about? YES! Why are you still reading? Your appointment could be taken by someone else! Go! You wont regret it!

Review №56

Before I began treatment at Atlas Specific, in January there werent many days that I can say I wasnt taking pain relievers for one thing or another. My neck and back were burning in pain every day, and headaches were almost daily as well. My hands would tingle and the bottoms of my feet were numb all of the time. I was told that this was nerve damage due to Diabetes and that it wouldnt get any better, also that my medications would increase in dosage as time progressed.One of the first things I noticed was that the nerve pain in my hands and feet were gone! I havent even thought about my neck and back pain in months either. Headaches are also a thing of the past now. As an overall health decision I quit taking birth control pills after 15 years 4 months ago. Along with my adjustments, I have been able to significantly lower the amount of insulin I need, and I am also able to keep my blood glucose levels regulated much easier!

Doctor Danielle is the best thing that ever happened. I struggled with endocrine problems and body pains for years before finding out chiropractic care can change everything for the better. Her hands seem like magic as she seeks out and relieves spots where it hurts, which just makes life and my whole body feel lighter. I also have her adjust my four kids, including my oldest who has Tourette’s Syndrome. We find that with chiropractic care her neurological symptoms improve. I would strongly recommend Dr. Danielle to anyone lucky enough to live close to her new clinic!!

Dr. Danielle literally gave me my life back. When I first met her I was suffering from a low back injury that kept me away from doing the activities that actually made my life and job worth it. She was able to explain how my body works and heals when properly aligned and adjusted. Better yet: delivered on her word. Shes quick, effective and fun to be around.With consistent care, I no longer worry about my body when Im out playing basketball, climbing, or playing in the park with my son. Durango is getting a huge boost to their community with Drs. Danielle and Tim in town!

Review №61

I absolutely love Atlas Specific and Doctors Tim and Danielle so much! This incredible place is a one-stop-shop for optimal health and wellness. I have had chronic neck pain from a car accident more than half my life and my work with Dr Tim has completely relieved all pain and discomfort in my neck and in between my shoulders. I swear the work I did with Dr Tim strengthened my neck and spine so much that now, whenever I feel it about to misalign, it naturally goes back into alignment on its own.Whenever I am in need of a full-spine adjustment there is no one like Dr Danielle, she knows exactly how to get some of the hard to reach spots, in the most nurturing way. Even if I am not in need of an adjustment, spending 5 minutes with these incredible people puts a smile on my face. Durango is so fortunate to have such caring and passionate healers at Atlas Specific.

Dr. Dugas is a cutting edge chiropractor! His upper cervical care gave me my life back. A severe head trauma left me with debilitating headaches. This left me suffering with depression and sleep deprivation. My daily activities were extremely compromised. After my initial exam/x-rays Dr. Dugas explained to me the importance of my commitment to the process of healing. Within the first few weeks I was headache free! He gave me a gentle reminder not to focus on symptoms and continue with my treatment plan. I would highly recommend his care. Be prepared to be amazed!!!

Dr Dugas is an outstanding chiropractor and professional. I had the privilege of being one of his first patients. He is very considerate and thorough, and never makes a patient feel rushed or like they are just the next person in the assembly line. I always felt comfortable and that I had his full focus and attention. He has a unique, progressive style that was extremely affective for my condition. I have disc herniations in my lower back and a pinched sciatic nerve. After a 6 month program with Dr.Dugas, I am walking, sleeping and feeling better than I have in many years. I highly recommend his program for anyone seeking care.

Dr. Dugas has had amazing success ( and finally, considerable relief! ) in treating my neck after 2 rear-end car accidents that had left me with constant headaches and discomfort. I had been trying for years to deal with these problems, with moderate progress, but from the first appointment I knew I was finally on the right path for me. Im sorry Dr. Dugas is leaving Denver, but Durango is fortunate to have him. I may just have to make a trip down there from time to time. He is an intelligent and thorough professional who is passionate about getting results. I cant thank him enough, and I would recommend him to anyone who is suffering from upper spine issues.

I’d like to give my highest recommendation to Timothy Dugas, DC and the kind, caring folks at Atlas Specific Upper Cervical.It’s clear that Tim’s soul mission is to heal others. During each session, he is laser-focused on treating his patent with the utmost care, and you can feel that energetically. It’s quite profound.Tim is so passionate about what he does and in our talks he has told me that he went into Upper Cervical to treat the cause, not the symptom. He is an Upper Cervical guru and the type of practitioner who I always feel confident referring my closest friends and family to.As a mother of an 18-month old and a busy Realtor®, it’s so nice when I get to block out time for an appointment with Dr. Dugas because I truly get a moment for self-care (which I believe is so crucial in life).If you’re looking for a one-and-done-wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am-crackalackin’ chiropractor, then honestly, Dr. Dugas may not be the one for you.BUT, if what you want is freedom from the pain, and a doctor who will carefully consider what ails you through a more holistic and energetic approach--then by golly, you need to see Dr. Dugas!Don’t get me wrong here… he doesn’t wave some magical wand over your body. There are some serious adjustments involved, and sometimes there aren’t. It’s really based on what your body really needs that day. Go see him. You’ll know what I mean!
