Patient Testimonials

I enjoyed my first experience at Desert Sun. All the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Michael was very kind and attentive. I would recommend to friends and family.

It is always good to see the friendly staff. I stand straighter and walk better after a visit.

I have been going to Dr. Ontiveros for two weeks and I have been feeling great. What doctor calls you to see how you are doing Dr. Ontiveros DOES!!!! His staff is great and very friendly I would recommend anyone with back problems to Dr. Ontiveros. Thank you for your help, support and most of all because you and your staff care about your patients.

The day I was referred to the chiropractor, Dr. Michael Ontiveros, in El Paso, Texas, by my dad was the day my life changed. Little did I know that I would no longer have to suffer from the pain I endured from injuries I sustained over 2 years ago while serving in the U.S. Army.  I thought Dr. Ontiveros would tell me that nothing was wrong, just like the Army and the VA did but after my examination and x-rays he confirmed what I already knew.  He explained what was going on with my body and told me was confident he could prescribe a course of treatment to correct my numerous physical ailments and place me firmly on the road to recovery. I didn’t want to get my hopes up and be disappointed because no one else has been able to help me but I thought it was worth it to try.  My conditions would either change for the better or remain the same.

I was very limited to what I could do during these past 2 years I’d been suffering from pain. The little things so many take for granted, including myself, were taken from me.  I wasn’t able to walk, sit, or stand more than 10 minutes because the pain became unbearable.  I thought I wouldn’t be able to live the fulfilling life that I had always imagined. After I began treatment with Dr. Ontiveros everything changed. My attitude, my hopes, and my health.  I started improving during the first week and from then on, nothing but improvements.

Desert Sun Chiropractic’s environment is very welcoming. Sarah, Dr. Ontiveros wife who works with him, is one of the sweetest and friendliest people I’ve ever met and she made me feel very welcomed. Dr. Ontiveros is very optimistic and has an attitude that is nothing less than encouraging and uplifting.  His knowledge, enthusiasm and dedication in helping others made me feel relaxed and gave me hope that my body would heal. I’m now able to do almost everything I could do before I was injured. He has given me my life back.  Dr. Ontiveros was the answer to my prayers and I will be forever grateful to him.

SInce having kids, I've had a lot of back and neck issues.  It seems every time I move or try to keep up with my kids, the pain starts flairing up again.  I was taking pain relief medication constantly and had had enough.  I called the doctor and they really went above and beyond to help me out.  Ever since going to this office I have felt better and have seen amazing results with chiropractic care.  Thank you for all that you do!
