For the first time in decades I have hope in finding actual help concerning my neuropathy!!! Dr. Arter was a God send to me. He took his time and went into detail on how to start my path towards healing. I cannot stress enough on how grateful I am for the hope I now have. The office staff are happy to be there, assisting in the healing process of their patients. Julie and Chelsea are shining lights!!! I will be telling everyone who is looking for a true healing path about Thrive!!

Our experiences with Thrive medical and Dr. Arter have been amazing! We love the culture and atmosphere of the office. The gals that work the front desk are kind and capable! Dr. Arter has transformed our daughters health and done what no other Dr. has been able to do. I would recommend this office all day long!

I have really appreciated working with Thrive on my journey toward gut healing. After a few years of dealing with a COVID ravaged gut and Primary Care Provider solutions that got me no where but continued pain, I saw that Thrive took a different approach. In addition to listening to the symptoms I was facing, they also looked at my current lifestyle and eating habits. From there, they were able to devise a diet and supplement plan from blood and stool samples along with lifestyle adjustments. Best part of all this is that Dr. Ospina explained every step of the way, from what my body indicators were to how we could improve those numbers. I started this treatment in May 2025 and in my latest check-up (October 2025), we saw a dramatic increase in all areas that needed improvement! Apart from the actual treatment, the front desk folk are extremely friendly and helpful. The environment is definitely warm and cozy. The on-boarding process was pretty easy too, but just as a fair warning financially, because the medical practice actually helps, a lot of health insurance companies will not cover the cost. I know mine didn't. Here's the thing though, its better to pay a premium upfront now and fix a lot of the health issues now than to pay a small portion to fix only a few symptoms that keep re-occurring. So to recap, Thrive does amazing work, friendly to their patients, and I'm looking forward to continue working with them as needs arise.

We’ve been patients at Thrive for several years since moving to Colorado, and I cannot recommend this practice enough. We’ve even referred friends who are now also thriving under their care thanks to Thrive’s expertise, kindness, and professionalism. I’m nearly 40 and have endured multiple reconstructive surgeries for a facial deformity I was born with. After my nose was rebuilt using a rib graft, I developed excruciating trigeminal nerve pain—one of the most severe pains humans can experience. Despite seeing numerous reconstructive surgeons and neurologists, taking the strongest lidocaine medication, and giving myself Toradol injections at home, the pain only worsened. Then Dr. Arter recommended red laser therapy to stimulate my mitochondria and promote nerve healing. This neuroregenerative treatment significantly reduced my facial pain. After that success—and experiencing firsthand Dr. Arter and his team’s compassion and skill—I wanted to improve my overall health, so I began a nutritional program with Dr. Espina. Even my very frugal husband joined after meeting them, impressed by their sincerity and knowledge. We both started with comprehensive blood testing to identify problem foods and underlying issues. If you do nothing else, do this test. My husband’s results revealed several critical red-level markers, including pre-diabetes, while mine showed autoimmune, hormonal, and cholesterol concerns (not surprising after a full hysterectomy in my 20s and ongoing weight struggles). Through a six-month program with personalized supplements and monthly check-ins, we learned which foods were harming us. My husband was severely sensitive to coffee, wheat, dairy, and spinach—foods he ate daily. My sensitivities included strawberries and pecans, but not dairy, and only mild wheat sensitivity. After removing wheat, my chronic brain fog lifted—I hadn’t realized how bad it was until it disappeared. Six months later, my husband lost 50 pounds (he wasn’t even very overweight to begin with), and we both feel incredible. We’ve since referred our best friend, who suffered from years of back pain. Thrive discovered he had undiagnosed scoliosis, and after starting physical therapy, his pain has improved dramatically. From laser therapy for nerve pain to nutritional programs, supplements, physical therapy, and chiropractic care, Thrive has helped us live healthier, happier, and longer lives. They truly care about their patients and their success. If you’re considering taking the next step for your health, call Thrive—you won’t regret it. It might just be the decision that saves your life or the life of someone you love.

I can’t say enough great things about Thrive Health Systems! From the moment I walked in, the entire team made me feel welcomed and cared for. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely interested in helping patients improve their health—not just treating symptoms. My chiropractor took the time to really listen, explain what was going on with my body, and create a customized plan that made sense for me. The adjustments have made a noticeable difference in my posture, energy levels, and overall comfort. What really stands out is that they focus on whole-body wellness—not just quick fixes. The office is clean, well-organized, and has a calm, positive energy. Every visit feels like a step forward toward better health. I appreciate how transparent they are about treatment plans and pricing too—no pressure, just clear communication and real results. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who truly cares about your long-term well-being, Thrive Health Systems is the place to go. Highly recommend!
