Dr. Barter has been nothing short of a Godsend to me during a time when I was struggling with gut health issues, food sensitivities, fatigue, insomnia, and more. I have been working with her for about 2.5 years and in that time she has facilitated my return to a much better baseline of health, energy, and sleep. I feel and function so much better than I did before. She is very conscientious and empathic and knows how to help her patients navigate the ups and downs of addressing various health concerns. Anyone with long-term chronic issues that are hard to pin down should definitely work with her. 6 out of 5 stars 🙂

I highly reccommend Dr. Chetty if you are looking for an Alternative Family Doctor and Chiropractor. I have been seeing her for almost a year and a half for back/neck pain, hormones, blood work review and supplement protocols. From the first visit on she has shown that she truly cares about helping her patients. I appreciate that the appointment is a full 30 minutes of unrushed, attentive, skilled care. My time with Dr. Chetty is truly therapeutic as she uses dry needling, cupping, Graston, Shockwave therapy and chiropractic care during my treatments. Dr. Chetty has also helped treat my 10 year old son's gut issues. Before working with her, my son was having almost daily stomach aches. We are still in the process of healing his gut with her reccommended protocol and are down to a stomach ache every couple of weeks, if even that! I always look forward to my appointments with Dr. Chetty and if you are considering visiting an Alternative Family Doctor and Chiropractor then it is time to make your appointment with her too!

Dr.Chetty does a great job helping back, neck and shoulder pain. She uses a variety of techniques such as cupping, scrapping, dry needling, and traditional chiropractic methods. All of which are extremely helpful. highly recommend if you are looking to find a place to fix joint issues and muscle tension.

Dr Ann is amazing! I was referred to her a couple years ago by my friend Julia. She is thorough and knowledgeable. I trust her completely with anything and everything she has helped me through. She is the best!
I’d recommend her to anyone 100%.

Dr. Barter is a very gifted healer! I've been treated by her just a few times so far, and I can't say enough great things about her. After my last session, I felt a complete turnaround in my physical, mental, and emotional well-being. She is very intuitive, highly knowledgeable, and incorporates a number of very helpful modalities and techniques. I can always count on feeling tremendously better after seeing her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I have struggled with Candida in my gut for over 20 years. It turned into Candida Overgrowth after taking an antibiotic about six years ago. I have changed so much physically and mentally/emotionally over the last six years… For the worst! It’s been a drastic transition. I’ve worked with two different functional doctors to no avail!
I heard about Dr. Ann Barter on the wellness mama podcast, and I felt like all that she shared genuinely resonated with my symptoms! I reached out, she accepted me as a new patient, even out of state! I am in Alabama, she is in Colorado. We zoom.
I had an appointment within less than two weeks, she listened to me, she CORRECTLY diagnosed me, helping me realize that I was exposed to mold in the past, and that has been the source of other health problems, including the Candida!!! I’m only two months into my detox with Dr. Barter, and I feel like I felt 6 years ago when I had tons of energy, felt great and looked great!
Just in the last two months, I have gained energy, lost weight, lost that fluffy bloated feeling that I’ve lived with for YEARS, I have no more headaches, my breath is better, my facial acne is disappearing, I’m back to doing high energy weight workouts, my thinking is clearer, I’m able to stay on task during the day, my hair is not falling out as much as it used to, my fingernails are stronger, my appetite and cravings are suppressed, and all of this has been treated NATURALLY! No “medications!”
It’s been a genuine, healthy detox, and I am PROUD and honored that Dr. Barter took me on as a patient! I highly highly recommend working with her! I’m still stunned at how quickly my life has changed to being better than even before! I am eternally grateful!
Thank you, Dr. Barter!!!!!!!!!

I am 23 weeks pregnant and just had a great treatment with Dr. Alvarado. She was able to accommodate my belly on the table and still effectively adjust my back which had been bugging me for weeks. She took the time to ask me tons of questions and address all of my concerns. I highly recommend her!
