Dr. Timothy Dugas, DC

While visiting Durango, Dr Dugas was able to fit me in and do X-rays and exam. He then explained my problem in great detail and gave his recommendations for corrective actions. He found a doctor near me on east coast to share exam results with and begin treatment. I really like him and wish I could undergo treatment by him. His exam and explanation were extremely beneficial to me. I was very impressed and strongly recommend him.

Dr Tim and his wife Danielle have helped me so much! I have had so much trouble sleeping and who knew it was all in my neck! Dr Tim has helped me heal and feel better in my everyday life. They are also very careful and gentle when dealing with patients!!

I am editing my original review. I am finally able to work with Dr. Tim. My first appointment was amazing!! I have been to three chiropractors in Durango, Dr. Tim is the first to make me feel like he really cares about me and my long term health. Thank you Dr. Tim. Even though I’m not a patient myself, I’m in a BNI chapter with Dr. Tim at Atlas Specific Upper Cervical Care and I consistently hear incredible feedback from people who work with him. His patients talk about lasting relief from chronic neck pain, migraines, vertigo, and overall improvement in nervous system health after receiving his upper cervical chiropractic care. What stands out most is how specialized his approach is — this isn’t general chiropractic. Dr. Tim focuses on the upper cervical spine and atlas alignment, which plays a powerful role in posture, balance, and the body’s natural ability to heal. People describe him as extremely knowledgeable, gentle, and thorough, especially when it comes to explaining how the atlas affects the brainstem and overall function. If you’re searching for upper cervical chiropractic in Durango, or want a more precise, neurologically focused alternative to traditional chiropractic adjustments, I highly recommend reaching out to Atlas Specific. I’ve seen first-hand how passionate he is about helping people restore their health from the inside out.

Dr. Tim is the BEST! He is so caring & thorough. He uses a non-invasive laser when you come in, to see exactly what your spine looks like then. After treatment, he'll use the laser again to recheck. He tailors your treatment to what YOU need. I had tried traditional chiropractic before seeing him, but was not responding well to it. I had been in so much pain... not anymore! Dr. Danielle is very good too, and has special training. They even adjust my muscles if needed. I HIGHLY recommend Atlas Specific!

Atlas Specific is an amazing place for healing. The providers are thoughtful, receptive, and were very skilled at adjusting my body through both physical and energetic means. They met me mid-treatment for an old injury and developed a plan to help me cope both in the short term and with larger recovery in mind. Both Timothy and Danielle are brave and kind in their approach, and provided unusually personally adapted treatment. Upper cervical care is the most effective chiropractic treatment I have known. I recommend you seek their counsel for body adjustment concerns and hear what they have to say. Their initial visits are inexpensive and very informative. If I had not moved from the area, I would still be seeing them.
