Became an Airrosti Provider:2008

Undergraduate School:Southwest Texas State University

Hobbies:Outside the clinic, staying active outdoors is a major priority, especially cycling whenever the Texas weather permits. Music plays a central role in daily life, whether tuning in to favorite artists on Boerne Radio or playing the guitar and piano. Free time is centered around family, from keeping up with two young granddaughters to spending weekends on the sidelines cheering on his son at soccer games.

Interesting Facts:Having dedicated nearly 19 years to Airrosti, I hold the distinction of being the most tenured Airrosti doctor in the entire San Antonio area. Beyond my professional longevity, my wife and I are proud parents of three children, a son and two adult daughters, and doting grandparents to two granddaughters. A true local at heart, I'm an avid fan and listener of Boerne Radio.

Awards and Recognitions:Airrosti Award of Excellence Winner 2018; League of Elite Airrosti Providers 2019; Mission in Motion Award Winner 2026

What Airrosti Means to Me:Serving patients across Boerne and the Hill Country, my primary goal is straightforward: eliminate pain at its source so patients can return to living life to the fullest. I believe that high-quality medical care must be just as supportive and compassionate as it is clinically effective. Ultimately, my passion lies in helping individuals regain their freedom of movement and get back to doing what they love. Airrosti empowers me to do just that!

I have had scoliosis since I was a child and have never been offered any options to help relieve the constant pain and restrictions to my mobility. Dr. Atala has worked miracles by releasing the fascia in my back, neck, shoulder, hip flexor, and even better, given me exercises to do at home to keep things from tightening back up. I have in just a few short weeks become pain-free and increased my mobility. By spending only 10 minutes a day following this treatment program, I have improved my quality of life and I’m so grateful.

These guys are great. They get right to the place where I’m hurting and target those areas. With the treatment and exercises, I was 90% better after 3 visits!! No pain no gain as they say. It was worth every visit and I plan to use them again if I need treatment!!!

I've been to several chiropractors for a discomfort/pain in my low back, hip and sciatica down both legs for 10 or more years. Also, I've had an achy left thumb for 5 years. Dr. Atala with the fascia release method has got me 95% better in 3 months versus 10 years. The other chiropractors could only give me relief to a certain point and the problems would always gradually come back. You need to do the stretching and strengthening for this to stay with you. If I miss a couple of days, I can work myself out of the discomfort and have it stay away much longer that the traditional chiropractor method. I really like the physical therapy with this treatment as well--much more helpful than the traditional rehab at the hospital I went to and BIG co... + show more

I had elbow pain for several years and had attempted acupuncture and almost had steroid injections. I went and saw Dr. Atala and today I am able to do my job pain free as a result of his treatments. My son has been to see him for knee pain after a surgery and totally cured the pain. This is much needed service and if we didn't have insurance we would not have been able to afford this treatment and as a result not be cured. Please reconsider keeping this in our plan.
