    A little bit about my situation: I have a degenerative disc disease that causes my discs to pop out every now and then. I had 3 microdiscectomies on my L5-S1 between 2015 and 2019, then one on my L4-L5 in March of 2023. Following my surgery, I went to PT in Arvada to re-strengthen my core and increase mobility. My pain disappeared so I stopped going to PT. Then at the beginning of August of 2023, I moved closer to Denver. Right after I moved, I started experiencing sciatic and lower back pain, and I saw that Atlas Highlands had great reviews and was only a few minute drive from my new home. They were able to get me in quickly, and put me on a rigorous schedule of 2 sessions per week. I enjoyed the friendliness of the staff, but within a few visits, I noticed that they were really only working on me for about 10 minutes before handing me off to an "exercise specialist" to watch me while I practiced my at-home exercises. I did not feel like I was getting real care. Also, whenever an exercise hurt, they told me that it was just because my body was stiff and that over time, I should start to loosen up. After a few weeks, I noticed that my per-visit bill had jumped up dramatically, to $110 per visit. PT is covered by my health insurance, but when I spoke to the person at the front desk about it, she told me that the increase in expense was actually a new policy by my insurance company, and that it would help me reach my deductible more quickly. I asked "will this be the pricing at any PT location I go to?" She replied "Yes, this is a new policy by your insurance provider, and it will be $110 at any physical therapy clinic you go to until you reach your deductible." Silly me for trusting Atlas and not doing my own research immediately. After a few more weeks and shelling out hundreds of dollars per week for only a few minutes of hands-on care, I decided to reach out to my insurance company (Cigna) to confirm what the staff at Atlas had shared with me. To my surprise, Cigna denied that there was an update to their policy, and that any price changes at PT were made exclusively by the clinic. Not only that, but Cigna had shared that I'd reached my deductible weeks ago, and that Atlas should only be charging me the post-deductible rate of 20%. I felt / feel ripped off and lied to by Atlas. I trusted them and they abused my trust. They did not give me proper care. I decided to stop going since they were basically charging me to watch me do the exercises I was doing at home daily anyway. A few weeks ago, they called and asked if I wanted to make any new appointments. I shared this all with them, said I felt ripped off and that I deserved some reimbursement since I'd hit my deductible. They said "we're sorry you feel that way. We'll take you off our call list" and hung up. I have not heard from them since. Long story short: Friendly staff who will take exorbitant amounts of your money and offer hardly any care. Do not go here.

    Huge shout out to both Kate and Mandy at Atlas Physical Therapy! I came in with a knee injury and in severe pain. My doctor originally misdiagnosed me with a torn meniscus, but within 3 weeks of PT twice a week (and staying on top of my at home stretches and exercises) I was back to normal! Everyone at Atlas is super friendly and will push you the right amount.

    I am beyond thankful to both Kate and Sarah! They have the best pelvic floor therapy program ever and the best exercise program ever for physical therapy in general. They know how to work with persons with all types of disabilities and they are extremely accommodating in the way they tailor their exercise program. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience and if I ever need to come back I know where to come! I can now independently do all of these different exercises from home which is very liberating and I’m so thankful to always have a place where I can come if I ever need any extra support. They have such a nurturing welcoming environment and are super emotionally supportive as well! I really really hope both Kate and Sarah see this review! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart! Atlas PT is so lucky to have Kate, she is an outstanding pelvic floor therapist that will bend over backwards to make sure you’re getting the most out of the program for overall wellness!

    Huge thank you to the Sunnyside Atlas PT Team for giving me the confidence and freedom to get back out on the ski slopes after dealing with a knee injury and weakness. Dr. Kate is amazing and has assembled an amazing team. Dr. Jasmine is patient and welcoming. I am able to schedule with both of them and love having these super knowledgeable PT’s that approach my care as a team. Rhett, Meg, and Sarah provide really knowledgeable coaching through the strengthening and training portion of my sessions. Having these trained and knowledgeable individuals focus on my form and progress has been the biggest confidence builder as I continue to implement my exercises at home and get back into the sports I love. This has been one of the best investments I have made for my health and happiness - I am so glad that I didn’t keep putting this off and encourage anyone who has chronic pain or injuries to get support from this clinic.

    Atlas physical therapy has truly been a miracle for my rehabilitation journey. I worked with Doctor Emma Long over the course of seven months and I can't say enough good things about her and the rest of the staff at Atlas West Denver. I was suffering from injuries due to a car accident and my treatment included dry needling, cupping and massage therapy, as well as a daily stretching and mobility exercise routine recommended by Emma. At each appointment I found myself steadily improving. Emma was always patient and kind through my whole journey, providing me multiple different treatments and solutions for my pain depending on how I was doing on each particular day. Overall I don't have any negative things to say about Atlas Physical Therapy, they definitely know what they're doing and they do their jobs well with the focus always being on your recovery and how to get you back to 100% as quickly and safely as possible. I can highly recommend Doctor Emma Long, if you choose to start your road to recovery here you'll definitely be in good hands.

    Kate and her team are awesome. They have created flexible appointments for my busy schedule. The new location is more spacious. I am always happy to see Kate and she is very knowledgeable. She also does dry needling and it is so valuable to me especially as a new tool in my toolbox. It has made a difference in my recovery. Head to Atlas if you need therapy. As the owner of All for Kids Home Health, a pediatric home care and therapy practice, I have much experience with kids and therapy. I am so grateful to have them on my healthcare team.

    500/10 recommend! I started going to Atlas for pelvic floor therapy at 30 weeks pregnant and cannot say enough about how thorough Kate, Meg, Rhett, and the entire Atlas team were throughout my care. Kate is attentive to your unique needs every visit and provides guidance for how to care for yourself at home in the interim. My delivery went super smooth and I attest my mind/body connection to the physical therapy. I’m now in their postpartum care and feel the same level of attention and intention every session. Thank you so much, Atlas!!

    I had a great experience with Kate at Atlas Physical Therapy and highly recommend her to all the new moms out there. She helped me strengthen my pelvic floor and get my core strength back. Mandy, Kate’s exercise assistant, is also an absolute joy to work with. It’s a friendly, lively environment and I appreciated that I was able to bring my baby to a few sessions.

    Atlas is the best! Kate and Mandy helped me to make major improvements in a few short months, and I'm endlessly grateful to them. The whole Atlas crew makes for such a friendly, fun, and welcoming environment. Who knew PT could be fun?! Highly recommend Atlas for your PT needs.

    Kate and Mandy are fabulous! My abs had separated past my belly button during pregnancy, and after a few short months of PT, I'm comfortably recovered--I'm even bouldering again! It was so wonderful to have a place to go twice a week where I could talk about how my body was feeling and know that I would be taken care of. Thank you so much!

    I have loved working with Atlas PT! Kate was recommended to me by someone in my birth class…and I’m so happy she was! I saw her the last several weeks of my pregnancy and am working with her and Mandy as I’m healing postpartum. It’s been so helpful to ease back into exercise and movement and feel supported while doing it! Highly recommend this place!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Atlas Physical Therapy Highlands! The staff here are exceptional. They are not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but they also genuinely care about their patients' well-being. My therapist, Kate and her exercise specialist, Mandy went above and beyond to create a personalized treatment plan that addressed my specific needs. Their patience and dedication to my progress were truly remarkable. I cannot thank the team at Atlas enough for their outstanding care and support throughout my rehabilitation journey. Thanks to them, I feel stronger and healthier than ever.

    Atlas Physical Therapy Highlands has made my physical therapy experience so much better! Trusting doctors who put in the work because they care is definitely one of their best attributes. I wouldn't choose anyone else!

  • 5/5 Kathleen S. 1 year ago on Google
    Kate and the team at Atlas do a wonderful job. They truly care about their patients well-being. They are efficient yet thorough and very knowledgeable in the physical therapy services they provide. I would highly recommend their postpartum PT. They are also a wonderful resource for questions, other wellness service referrals, and are a positive, supportive team to be around. Thank you!

    I continue to have an incredible and supportive experience at Atlas. Both Kate and Jazmin are wonderful humans and knowledgeable physical therapists!!!! Truly the entire staff and my experience at Atlas on Pecos deserves 5 stars.

    Kate at Atlas is extremely knowledgeable, personable, patient and kind. She has fixed a back issue of mine that no other physical therapists could. She is absolutely incredibly and I would highly recommend working with her. Additionally, her knowledge of women’s health, bodies and sustaining my care was impeccable!!!!!

    Always thankful for the Highlands Atlas team! Kate, Meg, Jasmine, Mandy and Christina are always so eager to give you the best experience possible. Super friendly clinic, definitely recommend and they don't disappoint in making you feel cared for! Thank you Highland Atlas team!

    The team at Atlas is smart, attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Dr. Goforth and her team put together great exercise plans for me to use while I was working my way back to full range of motion due to a broken arm. She asked questions around any set backs I might have dealt with, made sure I understood what the purpose of the exercises was, and even checked my blood pressure when I asked. Working with Atlas was a great experience. I highly recommend reaching out to them if you're seeking physical therapy.

    I spent all summer of 2022 working with Kate, Meg and the staff at Atlas to rehab my left leg after a gruesome snowboarding injury in April. They exceeded expectations in every way possible, and can't recommend them highly enough. My improvement in just a few months' time was fantastic, and the Atlas team was always responsive to how my body reacted to various therapies. I'll always be grateful to them in their help on my recovery journey. Thank you, Kate; thank you, Meg!

  • 5/5 Andy F. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently visited the new West Denver location of Atlas Physical Therapy to get some treatment on my calf. It's been a nagging injury for 4 weeks. Dr. Kate recommended doing some dry needling and cupping. 5 days later my calf is feeling 100% better. This is an excellent PT spot!

  • 3/5 Emma G. 1 year ago on Google
    Not a good place for pelvic floor therapy, but everyone is really nice. It felt like it was really a churn and burn therapy at times. You only see the provider for 10-15 minutes then get passed to others for exercises and even at that they are spread thin so you probably could get a print out and go home and have the same experience. I went for 6 months postpartum and nothing was really getting better. Found a different PT and after just three sessions I feel more recovered than my time at Atlas. Again, they are nice but if you are looking for pelvic floor therapy specifically, I would not recommend Atlas.

    After a fall while hiking on ice back in March, and not only dislocating my shoulder, but tearing cartilage, and having surgery to button it all back up, I was at first a bit worried as to whether I’d regain full motion of my arm again. I needed physical therapy to get my arm back. After a quick search, I found Atlas; not only was it near my home, but the reviews were stellar. “Okay, I’ll try here,” I thought to myself. It was a great decision. Not only do they know what they’re doing to get a body back to its former state, but they’re full of kind, conversational, funny folks. Makes sense, considering not only do these people do this kind of stuff full time for a living, but they’re doctors- of course they’re going to make it fun and enjoyable. I saw Isabella, then later Dillon, and every session was calculated and precise to help to return my achey, weak shoulder back to its full range of strength and motion. Both were highly professional in their practice, using their highly trained set of skills to not only get me back to where I needed to be, but what sure looked like the same type of progress for the other patients around me. I would highly recommend these folks over and over, particularly the two I saw regularly, who throughout regular practice, helped me to return to full power. Five stars for Isabella and Dillon.

    Amazing staff. Everyone is very knowledgeable and willing to work with you at your own pace. I worked closely with Jasmine after my Achilles surgery and just after a few months, I was walking around normal and now I’m back to 100% just in time for Ski season. Highly recommend!!
