More than Great Chiropractic Care

by JimmyJam69 at Citysearch

I have been a patient of Dr. Turnbull's for over 4 years. I was first referred to him by my PCP for neck problems. Dr. T. spent a great deal of time genuinely listening to my concerns and asking lots of questions to pinpoint my problem. He diagnosed me and recommended some changes to my everyday routine to help me correct my neck issues and along with periodic adjustments from him, I got better.

Since then, I have used Dr. Turnbull's services to help me rehabilitate from a bicycle accident that injured my AC joint; as well as from an injury that fractured both the tibia and fibula of my right ankle. I’m happy to say that I am recovered from both, thanks to his care.

More recently, I have gone to Dr. T. for his expertise in functional physiology, where he has helped me solve some issues with pre-diabetes and physical endurance by identifying underlying metabolic issues and prescribing natural supplements and changes to my diet that have solved my problems.

I highly recommend Dr. Turnbull and his methodology. I’ve received no less than the best care available, from a very talented, kind, caring and sincere doctor.

• Pros: Great listener/communicator w/ vast knowledge of physiology

BEST CHIROPRACTOR IN DENVER

by Missy Santasiero at Citysearch

I have known Dr. Turnbull for over 8 years. I have referred several people to him. I am always relieved of my neck and lower back pain immediately.

He has also assisted me with natural supplements that have balanced my energy and hormones.

I appreciate his attention to detail and caring attitude.

My clients and friends give him rave reviews as well.

In addition, he loves dogs as do I:)

• Pros: VERY THOROUGH, GREAT LISTENER

A Doctor who looks at the "Big Picture"

by Mary Williams at Citysearch

I have been seeing Dr. Turnbull for several years for chiropractic care. He has always fixed me right up! Lately I've been having a lot of hot flashes, not only in the middle of the night, but during the day. They were uncomfortable and very annoying. I went to see Dr. Turnbull and told him about my symptoms. He recommended that I take Estrovite (K5) which provides estrogen metabolism support. After taking Estrovite for a little over a month, I've noticed that I rarely have hot flashes during the day and I only have them once in a while at night. Thanks Dr. T!

More than Chiropractor... Holistic Health

by Nodak at Citysearch

Finally, a chiropractor I can trust. I have suffered with extreme pain back pain for most of my life. After trying conventional treatment on and off over the years and a couple chiro's who should sit on their shingle, I found Activa. At every visit, Dr. Turnbull figures out what is really wrong, "sets me straight," and proscribes a treatment plan that actually works. While I'll continue to visit Kaiser (my HMO) for my yearly physicals and the occasional infection, I will bring my structural issues to Activa.

• Pros: Individualized Treatment Plan, Effective diagnosis
• Cons: None

This Guy is a Quack

by Jhendry at Citysearch

I'm not a patient and I was at Starbuck where this doc was telling, I believe a collegue of his how to write reviews on citysearch and other websites to draw clients to his office. That is just wrong. It's just unethical. And after reading some of the reviews, they just sound as if they were written by the owner himself. This guy is a fraud and I just wanted to share this w/ the public. WATCH OUT.

• Pros: NONE
• Cons: All reviews are made up.

Jhendry--while I sincerely appreciate you being an ethical watchdog for the Denver community, you have posted this under the wrong profile. I know this for two reasons: 1. it is patently untrue. I have had a successful practice in Denver for the last 10 years and have no need to manufacture reviews, and 2. I don't drink coffee! I haven't been into a Starbucks in many years. Indeed, the person who you overheard at Starbucks should be called out on their nefarious business practices. Unfortunately this comment falsely maligns my practice and reputation, and, more importantly it maligns the patrons of my practice who took their time to write a sincere review. Dr. T

Amazing Results

by jncotter at Citysearch

Before I went to Dr. Turnbull I couldn't run more than 2 days in a row without having extreme lower back pain the next day. I assumed that I would always have back pain until I went to see Dr. Turnbull.

I was extremely nervous about receiving chiropractic care, but Dr. Turnbull was highly recommended and immediately made me feel at ease. Dr. Turnbull incorporated stretching and strength exercises into my treatment and was able to explain in plain English why I needed chiropractic adjustments.

After a couple weeks of treatment I saw immediate results. Now, I can run as much as I want and have had no lower back pain at all.

I would highly recommend Dr. Turnbull. He completely changed my perception of chiropractic care and has made my back feel better than I ever imagined possible.

• Pros: Example: best croissants in town
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

We hope to be patients of his for years...

False Advertising

by denver649 at Citysearch

After reviewing the website for Activa Chiropractic I attempted to make an appointment based on the reviews of Dr. Dukes only to be told that he is no longer employed there.

Noone would tell me how to find him and the person I spoke to flat out admitted to me that they no longer offer the specific types of services that they claim to on their website.

Hi Denver 649,

While we are unable to give out personal contact information for Dr. Dukes, just like your employer or former employer would not give out your personal contact information, we readily tell people that he can be contacted via his current employers 24hr Fitness Lowry and Kaiser Permanente Lakewood. In fact, a letter was mailed out detailing his leaving Activa and his new position with Kaiser on June 10th. Sorry for the mix-up. Dr. T

Dr. Turnbull is THE BEST!

by AlanaLee at Citysearch

Dr. Turnbull is wonderful! I have been seeing him since aprx. my 9th auto accident (I've had 14) and he has helped me live a fairly normal life. I love his mom as well (she worked in his old office). I could not be happier for him and his wife for his business tenacity and his individual compassion and patience! Love ya, Jim. I would visit him every day if finances permitted!

I'm still skeptical but I can't argue with the results

by idougal at Citysearch

I strained my back and my GP wasn't much help other than to say rest and I'll have a bad back forever now. I saw Dr Dukes, D.C., CSCS and he gave me a much more thorough exam than the GP and hooked me up to the most wonderful machine that helped with the pain a lot. He answered all my questions and didn't try any strange quackery with me, so I kept coming back until my back was much better. Pain free now with no issues.
