Dr. McDonough began his studies at the University of Iowa as a pharmacy student. However, he quickly learned that pharmacy, and conventional medicine as a whole, was not the career for him. Dr. McDonough went on to graduate from the University of Northern Iowa majoring in biomedicine. He then moved north to Minneapolis where he completed his doctoral studies at Northwestern Health Sciences University.
Dr. McDonough is skilled in multiple techniques, spinal rehabilitation, and numerous therapeutic modalities. Passionate for knowledge, he has completed post-doctorate studies in detoxification, blood chemistry, and nutrition under several world renowned doctors. He is continually attending lectures and seminars to stay on the cutting edge of medical research and protocols. Dr. McDonough practices with the concept that the human body contains amazing potential given proper chemistry, structure, and function. It is this potential that he strives to unlock in his patients.
Outside of clinic, Dr. McDonough is a music enthusiast, and avid concert goer. He enjoys cooking, baseball, and the outdoors in general. Dr. McDonough is happily married and resides in Denver with his wife Pam.
