I have been privileged to have Dr Jarvis as my Dr since I was 18 while living in the area . I am now 71 living out of State however whenever I have had any major illness and no other Dr has been able to help me I will travel to see him. He is not just a Chiropractor ( altho an EXCELLENT one) he is truly a healer. Dr Jarvis has helped me thru gallstones, severe nerve issues that other " doctors" could only offer relief thru horrible medications as well as helping my body heal from the after effects of chemo/radiation. If you have been fortunate enough to have experienced his care you already understand. If you have not, it's nearly impossible to explain his unique ability to heal. read more

I only saw Dr. Ed Jarvis two times. I had been crippled for six months after twisting my knee doing construction in Alaska. Orthopedists wanted to remove my meniscus. I said no. I could not straighten my leg and the pain was. . . intense. I was either on crutches or limping with a cane. I have never felt any comparable pain since, thank goodness. The first visit he said put castor oil on it at night, and peanut oil on it during the day, or vice versa, it was a long time ago. I was 28, now I am over 75. Not only did the next visit allow me, after his adjustment, to straighten my leg, I have since run 10ks, and hiked for a 150 miles in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I am fine. I am healed. I was crippled for six months, and have been fine ever since. This man made me believe in healers. They are rare, and this man gave me back my life, as an able bodied carpenter, and still healthy and pharmaceutical free who has now lived longer than the average American male. Would I recommend him? I reckon I just did. My life is a testament. I read where one guy calls him a quack. Even Babe Ruth could not hit 100%. Wow, this guy has practiced for a long time. Well. You are lucky if you encounter such a man. read more

Dr. Jarvis is an exceptional healer. He is empathic, intuitive, kind, generous, knowledgeable and skilled. I have been seeing him for over the past 3 years for various issues and have had amazing results. He also resolved my mom's longstanding tinnitus in just a few sessions. I will always be grateful for the ways he has supported my healing. read more

He's just an amazing chiropractor and healer. We've been seeing him for years and he's helped both my husband and I tremendously. He's really gentle (no longer does high velocity adjustments), does cranial sacral therapy and really cares about his patients. He's really a gem. read more

Nothing but positive vibes from me,,,, It's been years since I've been back to Pacific Grove but I often did day trips to get adjusted and take in the area,,,, He is also well known for playing bagpipes in the area,,,, read more

Ed Jarvis, D.C. Is the ONLY chiropractor I allow to treat me when my back, neck and shoulders hurt or when I've been injured and have had sciatica. I first met Dr. Jarvis in 1977 when I accompanied a friend to his office. Dr. Jarvis has been of abundant help to me over the years - always getting me out of pain and into a state of comfort and full functioning. Ed is a Conscious Competent, gentle, safe, highly skilled and highly intelligent. He is also abundently kind, fully attentive and has excellent boundaries. I appreciate that he returns my calls in a timely manner and has always made himself available to treat me and others in need who I refer to him. Dr. Jarvis' practice is clearly a Calling for him. I've seen him raise his price once in all these years - by $5.00! He's not a chiropractor who treats you as a dollar sign, pressuring you to buy in to many sessions. His joy comes from seeing his patients walking out, feeling good. I fully respect and trust him - I've met very few health care professionals I can say this about. I feel fortunate to receive the high level of practiced care that I do from him, and to know that I'm in such safe good hands. I endorse him whole heartedly, w/o reservation. A+ Dr. Rona Halpern read more

Me and my family have been seeing him for the last 19 years. I personally have only been to one other high rated chiropractor, who at some point messed up my hips as well as my mothers wrists! Ed Jarvis has never in all our years made those kinds of mistakes. read more

Years of pain that all doctors I went to could not address much less fix, was addressed and healed by Dr. Jarvis. I could not even walk properly because of knee pain what to talk of jog , run or walk down stairs. Now I am healthy, the knee pain is gone, I can jog freely with my dog, no pain in back, shoulder and neck. I must say that Dr. Jarvis is gifted with ability to give complete relief, by a higher power, not just being a master chiropractor. I always recommend him to my friends who have chronic issues and are disappointed with ailments that have befallen them that refuse to go away. Thanks you Dr. Jarvis. read more

I found Dr. Edward Jarvis in 1972. I had health issues that real Doctors had not been able to help me with. Dr Jarvis put me on a strict health regiment and guided me back to health. I always felt that he had saved my life. He helped me keep my children healthy and well as they grew up. He taught me and others, the gift of Polarity Therapy. He never turned a patient away and he had many people lined up at his door. I moved to Oregon years ago but I understand from friends and family in Pacific Grove that he is still practicing with great integrity and compassion. His healing practice is his life's calling. He is a great healer and human being. read more

I've been to Dr Jarvis a few times. I referred him to friends and friends referred him to their friends. Everyone loves him. For me, he fixed my neck impingement that affected my overall wellness. I've since felt so much better and now only go back for regular maintenance; once 1-2 month(s). read more

He's the best of the best. His non-invasive technique helps the alignment and makes my body so happy. To go from horrible pain to almost skipping - he is gentle, sensitive and effective. Love this guy! read more

Dr. Jarvis is the first and only chiropractor I have been to, so I can't speak for him versus other chiropractors. What I can say is that every time I have been to him with a problem, he has been able to solve it, with gentle adjustments... gentle enough that sometimes I have wondered if he was even really doing anything, until I stood up from the table and was able to turn my neck again or walk without pain, etc. He seems to like to ask patients about their lives. This might be part of the chiropractic practice/belief system... holistic care involving every part of the patient... maybe? If so, I am okay with it, but if I had my druthers I would do without it. I don't know him except as a doctor so I don't feel overly open to talking with him about my personal life. But if it helps him care for me, I can work with it. I recommend him. read more

My husband saw Susan Nilmeier, DC. She did a great job! I'm thrilled he is feeling better! Reasonable price too!!

Dr Jarvis is the best chiropractor you can find. I now live in San Francisco and have not been able to find anybody that can really help, so I've been taking the 2 hour drive to see him and it is totally worth it. He can fix things with one visit, whereas other chiropractors have not been able to achieve his results with months worth of weekly appointments. He really has a gift for what he does. I wish he would start a training program - his approach seems to be totally different and it really works magic! read more

Beware of this quack, He injured me so badly I have been suffering for years and he refused to take responsibility. He did not inform me of what he was going to do to me and did not give me any instructions of what to do afterward. It was the first time and last time I had ever seen a chiropractor. He held himself out as a doctor, but doctors are vowed to 'do no harm'. He hurt me deliberately and severely and didn't care. He did not apologize for ruining my health. Stay away. "If you are stupid enough to see this chiropractor, you deserve to be hurt". read more

When I tell people my chiropractor improves my quality of life I get horror stories and skepticism. Today I brought my girlfriend and best friend with me and they have seen the light. I've been seeing Dr Jarvis on and off for more than 15 years. He treated my mother and my grandmother. He has so far cured vertigo from my mom hitting her head on the basement ceiling, her acid reflux disease from some kind of esophagus hernia. I've seen him for sore hips that end up being caused by my neck being misaligned. He has stopped my shoulder from painfully sliding out of the socket. Your spine is probably the second most important thing in your body after the brain. This guy puts every vertebrae back in the right place and even does the limbs and other joints too. Give Dr Jarvis a chance. He is affordable. Tell him what is ailing you and I'd be very surprised if he can't provide relief. He fixes things most people would seek surgery for. I drive an hour each way once a month for this, not because the doctor tells me I need to but because my body tells me I need to. read more

I literally crawled into his office in pain and onto the table, 15 mins later I walked out pain free...I asked him what he did and he says "Oh I just called in some magic"....magic indeed, Ed....thank you read more

The receptionist is very rude! I'm sure the doctor is a kind person but the lady is unfriendly, and hangs up the the client. He should hire another receptionist as sick people need compassion not a rude lady. read more

I have been seeing Ed Jarvis since 1969. Whatever your problem, go see him. He is unlike anyone else you have ever been to. Here is one instance: Thirty years ago my heart would just STOP for several (2-3-4) beats every 15-20 regular beats. I mean zip, nothing, nada. When it would start up again it was a big boom and a large rush of blood under pressure surging out of my heart, causing my chest to heave and the pressure in my head was really unnerving. I was scared. I was afraid my heart would stop and not start up again. I had no insurance and had I gone to an MD, it would have been many expensive tests, surgery, hospitals, specialists, apparatus, etc. Thousands of dollars that I did not have and would not have. I called the office and spoke with him about what was going on. He knew what was wrong from my description. Having relocated from Big Sur to Yosemite, it was a 31/2 hr. drive to Pacific Grove. Saw him the next day. He adjusted my neck (without wrenching it around at all) and the issue was gone. Completely stopped happening. I discovered the problem was new furniture that caused me to sit at an odd angle and crinked my neck. I got rid of the set immediately and never had that problem again. How awesome is that? I would never have thought my "heart problem" was a chiropractic issue, however, it was. Anything and everything that I could not resolve by myself, Ed Jarvis has corrected. He is a gifted healer and a wonderful person. His methods are unlike anything I have ever experienced. He understands the human body on a profound level. He is gentle, thoughtful, kind, compassionate, caring and knows exactly what he's doing. read more

I've been seeing Ed Jarvis for over 35 years... none is more concerned fairly priced or true to his profession as He....

I have been seeing Dr. Jarvis for over 40 years. When the doctors wanted to do a third back surgery on me, I relented and asked my friend "Who was that chiropractor that you recommended 2 years ago?". We were driving anywhere from 1-2 hrs to see him over the years and now that we are "retired", we have a 7 hr. drive to see him. And YES, it is worth it. Since we have moved far away, we have actually tried another chiropractor, who actually talked with Dr. Jarvis over the phone, but unfortunately, that younger chiropractor finally admitted that they do not teach us new and upcoming chiropractors like they taught in "old school". Dr. Jarvis also incorporates Polarity into his adjustments and YES, what is going on your life is important and it is all private so no worries, spill your guts out! I have met many people in Doc's reception room over the years and actually met a family who drove from Arizona every other month as they were amazed at the results they were getting for their 2 years old, who was diagnosed as retarded. Dr. Jarvis is also a homeopathic Doctor so over the past 40+ years, his guidance regarding our illnesses has kept us, our children and our grandchildren in good health. God Bless him! PS...What I saw when visiting the young chiropractor's office was that his overhead was high and as a patient, we were helping him pay for all of that new, fancy, equipment! There have been times over the 40+ years that I did not have the money to pay for a treatment, but Dr. Jarvis treated me anyway and I doubt if that new "young" chiro would even consider it! read more
