I saw Dr. Dutson for the first time about a year ago and so very grateful I did!
Dr. Dutson is one of the best doctors I have ever been to! Dr. Dutson listens, is professional, trustworthy, kind, precise, thorough, patient, explains everything beforehand, answers all questions, and is very respectful. He is an EXPERT in this field. He truly cares about his patients and helping to improve their health.
I had a previous head/neck injury over 10 years ago that has caused pain/numbness and was then exacerbated by poor dental work.
I had one adjustment done by Dr. Dutson about a year ago. He recommended

I highly recommend Dr. Dutson. His knowledge and expertise is excellent. He described every step with complete detail and function. He is equipped with the most modern tools for adjustments.

The cost of the initial appointment kept me from trying this place for way too long. If this sounds familiar then listen up... THE PRICE IS WORTH IT! Accurately finding the root of the problem before any treatment plan created is what separates this place from other Chiropractors.
Everyone is super friendly. My mom has found life changing pain relief here. Adjustments are very precise and gentle.
All treatments are based on regular tests, measurements, and imagery, so when they make an adjustment, you can rest assured they won't make your problem worse on accident. Something I have experienced

I was referred to Dr. Dutson by a massage therapist who could not resolve my lower back pain. She noticed that I was leaning to the right. Dr. Dutson did some measurements and determined that my upper cervical spine was misaligned. He told me that there was a greater than 75% chance that the adjustments he could make would relieve my pain. He was also clear that it might take some time. I did get some relief after the first treatment. After 8 months, I am completely pain free in my lower back. In addition, I have had improvements in neck, shoulder and even knee pain as well, which is a bonus. The

Dr. Dutson completely turned my life around. I was in a world of unexplained pain and had a prior surgery to fix the supposed problem without any relief. Dr. Dutson spent approximately 2 hours with me during my first visit doing scans, tests, etc.. and within 48 hours found the issue that was TRULY causing my pain. Shortly after, a plan was put in place and I'm no longer in pain which I never thought I would say. This truly is a practice that cares about people and I owe so much to them and the work they did to help me.

Highly recommend, helped me with my tinnitus and vertigo after 2 other ENT Dr’s told me to just deal with it. He has helped me make tremendous progress that I thought I would never see. He listened and understood. I feel like I’m able to live again. Super happy with the results and can’t thank him enough. Thank you Dr Dustin.

As a Chiropractor I'm very particular about who I see. I've been dealing with TMJ issues for the past 6 months and used to get Upper Cervical Chiropractic care in Austin and would have to drive there. I'm so grateful for Dr. Dutson he checked me and saw that my atlas was misaligned which has a huge impact on my bite and occlusion. He delivered a precise adjustment with an instrument using 3 dimensional x-rays to get the exact angles. I noticed an 80% improvement from the first visit and the second visit I was all clear for another 2 weeks. Thanks a million Doc!

I have received excellent chiropractic care since 1974. Dr. Dutson’s work is different. The adjustments he has made to my upper cervical spine has made a marked difference in my ease of movement and general physical comfort. His caring attitude, devotion to healing, commitment to learning, ability to explain, and skill are most inspiring. I gladly recommend this clinic!

From the beginning Dr. Dutson has been a wonderful health practitioner with a passion for what he does! He takes the time to explain the process and procedures he will perform and why they're justified. Within chiropractic he has had special training giving objective results. He takes precision measurements and applies precisely calculated force to realign the vertebrae / joints. Also he is honest and upfront about the number of visits required hence the pricing. If you are suffering with chronic headaches or dizziness this is a very viable solution. It has helped me to mitigate symptoms to a level
