I am new to the chiropractic world meaning before 6 months ago, I had never been to a chiropractor and knew little of the practice. My world has changed. I started seeing Dr. Dongarra as a preventative lifestyle meaning I had zero ailments other than a little stress and anxiety. I was very apprehensive to begin. Dr. Dongarra took the time to explain what it is she does, how she does it and what I can expect as her patient. Her passion for her profession was displayed in her words. I am also a dancer...recreationally. Numerous months after receiving chiropractic care I strained my hip flexor which is extremely debilitating. I had a hard time sleeping at night due to the pain. I had a hard time driving my car (stick shift) due to the pain. I went and saw Dr. Dongarra. After only two visits, she explained that my right side (side that was not hurt) was not functioning properly to allow my left side (strained hip flexor) to heal properly. She made her adjustments. After the first visit, I was noticeably better. After the second I was even better and on the path to a quick recovery. As a new lifestyle, I notice that after ever adjustment I leave her office feeling just a little bit better, a little bit happier, a little bit less stressed than when I walked in. I am now a believer in chiropractics. Dr. Dongarra truly cares about me as a patient and as a friend. You can see the passion she has for chiro. That passion has now been transported to me, her patient.

I want to thank you for all youve done for us over the pat several weeks. We are seeing sides of our sons personality we never knew were there. As happy as this makes me, its also make me so sad that Ive missed 4 years of truly getting to know this little person thats been hiding inside him. He so much more calm, his focus is better, hes sleeping more soundly, and hes so much more affectionate and articulate. Its a stark (and welcomed) contrast to the half-cocked, angry, and stressed child he was previously. His teacher and other family members have even begun commenting on the change. We went to an OT eval yesterday. It was his second one in a several months and he nailed it. I was absolutely floored at the things he was able to accomplish that he was not able to do a few short months ago. I really have nothing to attribute this improvement to other than the work youve done with him. He hasnt even received OT services yet, and at this point, I dont know that he will. As of right now, their only concern was his pencil grip, but they gave me ideas on how to strengthen it. Even his midline crossing was better. I told them about you and they jotted your name down for other families. They seemed impressed that we would even go the chiropractic route. Im just feeling so totally blessed that you are in our lives and community. Youre a life changer!

Dr. Dongarra and the wonderful staff at Thrive Chiropractic have been absolutely invaluable to my family!! My 15 month old son was in a perpetual state of fussiness, was constantly needing to be held, and was experiencing a myriad of other sensory issues. I had taken him to many healers and doctors previously, but no one could give us a real diagnosis or make any lasting changes in his daily life. I was visiting family in Maryland when I took him to Dr. D, and she immediately knew what was going on with him. She talked me through his problems AND how we could solve them. After his very first adjustment it was like I brought home a different baby!! My son was crawling around and playing contently by himself!! It was truly miraculous. I took him 3x a week as long as we were in MD. Each visit, she worked her adjustment magic and gave us so much heartfelt attention. When it came time for us to return to Colorado, Dr. Dongarra reached out to her colleagues and found us a wonderful Chiropractor specializing in infants and birth trauma right in our town!! Dr. Dongarra and Thrive Chiropractic truly changed our lives and got my son on a path of healing. My son and I both absolutely adore Dr. D and the wonderful staff at Thrive Chiropractic!!!

I cant praise Dr. Dongarra and Thrive Chiropractic enough for the wonderful healing support given to my entire family. My wife began seeing Dr. D as support for childbirth which she says was very helpful. In another situation, our newborn was nearly inconsolable with digestion issues. My wife suggested Dr. D, yet I was skeptical. After other avenues failed, I agreed to give Dr. D. a try and was blown away. Our little one was treated with such incredible sacred gentleness, and I was even more amazed that she slept peacefully on the ride home and later in the evening. It was the first time in weeks wed seen our daughter be at peace and comfortable. After a few more visits, I have no doubt that my baby is in the best hands possible. Later, I thought to try Dr. D. for my own digestive issues, as well as mounting stressors of new parenthood. Im ecstatic with my care and the results. Seeing Dr. D. has been the easiest, kindest, safest, and most effective choice Ive made to improve my self-care and our familys overall health. I highly recommend her services.

My husband, toddler, newborn and I all see Dr. D. We couldnt be more pleased with the care we are getting or the results we are seeing. Dr. D is not only kind, caring, and compassionate, but also diligent and will work tirelessly to ensure that she helps alleviate your pain and support your health. She listens with intention when you describe areas of need and provides detailed explanations of how chiropractic care will help. We are truly grateful for all of her care and look forward to our weekly wellness visits. Its also important to note the warm, inviting atmosphere of the office, and of course, Amber! Amber is amazing and is always willing to come from her desk and take a break from her work to play with my 3 year old (or hold my newborn). I cant emphasize enough how important this is for me to get the care I need (or my husband) as we often do not have childcare readily available. That Thrive is a family friendly environment is its biggest asset and we all love our visits here.

Thank God for Dr. D! After seeing 6 specialists for my sons (13 months old) severe eczema and making almost no progress, I decided to take him to Dr. D. Hold on to your seats because I was skeptical about this too…but honestly after 2 visits I could see MAJOR improvements. His skin looks 90% better on his abdomen and at least 60% better everywhere else. He now almost always sleeps 12 hours straight at night (instead of being up 5 times every night!). He has much more regular bowel movements (sorry for the TMI). His super swollen glands have been way smaller. I cant even believe how calm and relaxed he is while shes working on him. Shes amazing with the little wiggly babes. She also did wonders for me when I was pregnant and had awful hip pain. Major rare bonus - Amber who works the front desk is super sweet and helpful. Yep…admin at a healthcare office who isnt cranky and rude - it is still possible ;) Amber rocks!
