No matter when I call, I am always given the utmost satisfaction, experience and support in my healing and health. Their knowledge is the most outstanding and true of all. Thank you Papa Jean read more

Dr martinet has an unmatchable quality of care. If I start having because of the scoliosis, I have I always leave their feeling like I am strong enough to do more things in my life that I want to do. In addition, I leave with a better state of mind because he helps open up the neural pathways to areas that we're not firing. grateful read more

Dr. Martinet is the best! Of course, Everyone says that about their chiropractor. However, Dr Martinez makes his adjustments with very precise and very gentle pressure for the most part. In addition he throughout his career has been continuing to study additional treatment technologies, and he has learned an amazing amount of material about the neurological system. I don't really understand everything that he does... Sometimes it seems like magic to me. But it's pretty amazing, and it works. I have been a patient of his for 40 years. read more

I tweaked something in my elbow 3 months ago and figured I would let my body heal it naturally. While it did feel a little better over time I could tell something was still off. I visited Martinet Chiropractic yesterday and the owner worked on it for about 60 seconds. Not only did I feel immediate relief, but probably within 60 minutes of my visit the pain had gone from a 4 to a 2. Less than 24 hours later I am almost pain free and have full range again. While a bit pricier than other Chiropractors I have gone to in the past, you really do get results with Martinet. To me, that is worth paying more for. I highly recommend anyone needing pain relief schedule a visit. read more

Dr. Martinet, his wife, and his entire office are incredible human beings. They CARE, they LISTEN and have genuine EMPATHY for people. This office is a model of treating the WHOLE person, and Jean-Paul is a true healer. read more

It been a while since I've left a review or been adjusted, I was overdue for adjustment and refuse to go to any other Chiropractor at all, but I made a recent visit to Dr. Martinet's office and it's amazing how time goes by and the quality of care and customer service atmosphere is still friendly, professional and welcoming. Definitely well worth the wait, time and visit.May God continue to bless you Dr. Martinet and your family. read more

I've been going to Dr. Martinet for over 5 years now. He is very skilled and intuitive when it comes to addressing my pain. I trust his treatment methods and recommendations. I highly recommend. read more

I have been going to Dr Martinet for over 25 years and highly recommend him. He has a 6th sense for rooting out what is going on with whatever body part is hurting, and quickly gets me on the path to recovery. His office staff are friendly and professional. If you are looking for a good chiropractor, call them. You will be glad you did! Carolyn Petrovic read more

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Martinet I have been experiencing lower back pain for a couple of years and cervical pain for the past few months. I went to my primary doctor a few years back but I was told that I was okay which I disagree with. I went to the doctor at Kaiser Permanente and the doctor there told me the same thing that I was okay. I suggested doing an MRI of my spine but the doctor refused and said that the insurance won't approve it. I got to the point where the pain was so severe that I couldn't even walk at times. I went to see a Joint Chiropractor in San Jose but their treatment was the same thing for all the patients and it didn't help me at all with the pain. I was starting to feel depressed not knowing who could help me with my pain. One day I heard from one of the nurses at a facility at Milpitas Care Center about Dr. Martinet of how good he was and how he treated her lower back pain and sciatica and completely resolved. I immediately asked for Dr. Martinet's information and I began to see him last month. More than words can say how happy I am to have found someone who could tell me the root cause of what is going on with my neck and back problems based on the actual X-rays, measurements, and symptoms. Dr. Martinet is very knowledgeable and he provides answers to my questions and helps me understand the treatment plan. His intelligence, listening skills, humility, and treatment based on what the body truly needs are what makes healing possible. His diagnosis all makes sense. I didn't even tell Dr. Martinet that I was having migraine headaches but he ruled that out. Amazing! I went to the emergency room due to severe lower back pain but their treatment option was surgery which I refused and I was told it was because of my age . I'm 49 years old and if that was because of my age then all the people aged 49 years old would have the same problem like mine. They don't make sense. I live in San Jose and Dr. Martinet's office is in Oakland, but I go there for that " gift of healing". Dr. Martinet is empathic, honest, and compassionate and he truly cares for your well-being. I am truly forever grateful to Dr. Martinet and the staff at the office for their support. Your love and care for all your patients are truly commendable. Joanne read more

I've been a skeptic all of my life but finally went to see Dr. Martinet after struggling with back pain for weeks. Two weeks after the visit, I felt no pain. I don't understand how it works, but I am very grateful for the results. read more

Dr. Martinet did a fascinating and effective chiropractic series of treatments. During quarantine my body was really out of order, and with 5-6 treatments I am back to pain free! And the front desk staff is super sweet and professional! read more

So happy to have found Dr. Martinet, and to think his office has been only five blocks from my house this whole time. Having gone through hell with a six month concussion four years before, I know a good chiropractor when I see one. Dr. Martinet is waaaaaaay more than a chiro actually. With many other extensive trainings under his belt, he is able to assist his patients on many other levels. When I started seeing him, I had some complex ptsd that had my emotions reeling. He was able to reset them and move into some lower back issues that had been bothering me. He got me back walking with ease in no time. He really can heal on so many different levels, this is why I am always recommending him to everyone! He is a true wizard. Thank you Dr. Martinet for all of the extensive classes that you have taken to help us on all the different levels of healing that life throws us. read more

Just had my first consultation with Dr Martinet and I have never walked away from any appt so elated and hopeful. I've been struggling with mysterious, absolutely debilitating and compounding health issues for 19+ months now. I've been in and out of the hospital, had all the tests, PT, chiro, other alternative therapies and nothing. Barely any improvement. But at today's appt, Dr Martinet quickly proved how massively skillful he is about the human body, its problems, and solutions. He has and knows allllllll the tools, and for the very first time since this health crisis nightmare began, the idea of full and complete healing seems within close reach. He is worth all the money. I look forward to this healing journey with Dr Martinet, and I'll be sure to leave an update! read more

Friendly and professional staff. Dr.Martinet is knowledgeable and kind. I wish I have visited him sooner so my pain can be treated before it got to this point. Ameena M. read more

Let me introduce you to something. It went by the name, "The Claw". It decided to show up the day I had my son in January. It stemmed the moment the horrible nurse at the hospital bashed the IV stem into the top of my hand because she wasn't paying attention to what she was doing. Then from that moment on my hand would freeze into this crazy claw like thing. I would say, "Uh Oh! The Claw is here." It would happen when I would try and pick up my son. It would happen when trying to answer the phone. It would happen when trying to back into a parking spot spinning the steering wheel. It would happen when ever "The Claw" wanted. My only saving hope was that Dr. Martinet could fix me. I do love a wrist adjustment but these were particularly wonderful. He did a bunch of other checks on me including my hips. After having a child sit inside your hip area for a few months can put your whole alignment out of wack. I wasn't to bad in the hip and back departments thankfully. When I left my wrist and hand felt like it had woken up from a sleep. Like when you lay on your hand for to long and it gets all tingly. As of right now I don't need to go back to get it rechecked. I was afraid that it wouldn't last but its been a few weeks and "The Claw" has gone back to his lair. Dr. Martinet doesn't play games. If you have pain that goes by any other name come see him. read more

Dr. Martinet does a lot of advanced stuff. And it works. He is more expensive than the other chiros we've seen who just do 'snap, crackle and pop'. He fixes stuff. And it stays fixed. I'm an engineer, I went to MIT, I don't believe in all this 'woo-woo' new age stuff, but I do notice what works and what doesn't. I had shoulder problems for years that are now gone. Old tennis and martial arts injuries. gone. Knee problems. I'm back on my bicycle. His goal is to see you a certain number of times - and then never see you again. Unlike my other chiropractor who wants to see me every two weeks forever. He will want to take some x-rays. read more

I have really tried to like this guy, mostly for the pleasant receptionists and free tangerines, but the ridiculousness of my experiences finally reached a tipping point. I was referred to Dr. Martinet from a family friend after experiencing severe head and back pain that felt like it must be due to a misalignment. I was more than up front with Martinet that I'd have to watch out about financial costs as I was unemployed at the time. He promptly ordered three x-rays of my head solely for diagnosis purposes. those aren't cheap by the way. But on the next visit he realigned me and it felt great. He even offered that I drop-in for a free check-up to see how the alignment was holding up. I walked out with high praise. This is when things got weird. The pain in my back and neck suddenly came back a week later only much more intensely. I could barely rotate my head. I scheduled and stopped by for a "free" check up to see if he could tell if me if his adjustment had slipped. Only it wasn't free. When I told him I didn't want to be re-adjusted that day he said I would still be charged with the re-adjustment fee (his reasoning being that he had popped my first when I walked in - I never complained of wrist pain). I had to bring in the receptionist and re-iterate that I had specifically scheduled my FREE appointment that day before. He finally let me leave while conceding that I had scheduled a free check-in, but somehow convinced that it was my fault. I would have let this slid, but he then refused to send my x-rays (which I had bought and paid for) to my next chiropractor AND I am still receiving bills from his office for my "free" check-in even though I've called numerous time to confirm that I don't own his office anything. PS - I ended up going to Lifewest Chiropractic college in Hayward. They did a fantastic job and are very affordable. read more

I saw Dr. Martinet last year for two issues: an injured femoral nerve from the birth of my firstborn, and a driving phobia. For the first issue... four and a half years prior to seeing Dr. Martinet, I had complications from my son's birth which resulted with an injured femoral nerve, a numb right leg, and pain in my back and leg. I was unable to walk for weeks and had to undergo extensive physical therapy. Though my leg got better, the numbness never completely went away and my leg was weak. Through the years, I accepted that it would be this way forever and was grateful that I could at least walk again. After Dr. Martinet worked on my nerve, the strength of my leg went from an 11 to 30+ (even stronger than my other leg). It was the first time I had complete feeling back in my leg after 4.5 years! And now, almost 8 months later, it is still going strong. He also treated me for a driving phobia. I have tried so many different therapies- CBT, NLP, traditional... some helped me tremendously, but never got rid of the issue completely. Upon recommendations from friends of mine who had success in their phobias through Dr. Martinet, I was hopeful and booked an appointment. I drove the day after my appointment, feeling skeptical and ready to feel the anxiety and fear. To my surprise, I was fine! I couldn't believe that I had finally found something that worked. With strength and feeling back in my leg after 4.5 years, and ability to drive without fear after 12 years, Dr. Martinet gave me my life back. A 5-star rating doesn't even come close to the real difference he has made in my life. read more

Dr. Martinet is truly skilled in a variety of techniques that enable him to effectively and holistically address the issues of the body. Dr. Martinet also has a gift of keen intuition, openness and inquiry allowing him to ask just the right questions in treatment of the issues. All of these gifts enable him to treat the issues at hand to ensure you stay well. I have seen him for chiropractic care, allergy treatment, and homeopathic care. Dr. Martinet is a gifted healer... I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Dr. Martinet is the ONLY doctor with whom I've been JAZZED to make an appointment. He is charismatic and funny, and some might say "a bit of an odd duck" but in a good way. I went in to see him at my parents' demand, and he has been fixing various ailments of mine sporatically since Summer '02. If you need a holistic healer, a chiropracter, or any kind of alternative healer, check with Martinet first, because as others have said, though his methods may make you go O_o, they WORK and you get FIXED, without a prescription to come back 17 times. read more

Good Evening, I have been going to Dr. Martinet for about 3 years and felt he was an excellent Dr., until due to my back and work schedule. I missed two appointment and I received a bill in the mail without any written documentation- informing me that there was a missed appointment charge. I will never ever go back to Dr. Martinet if he was the last doctor on earth and he could heal me. If you have such a policy it needs to be in writing and the patient should sign. Bad bed side manner. Harold Dees read more

So, I have been up on one foot for 3 months after foot surgery. Limping around on one foot only. It seems to have made me off kilter you may say and very weak. Kind of weakened everything and kind of tilted me sideways for lack of a better description. I had awful lumbar pain for the first time in 8 years. I checked in with one of my favorite receptionists,Carole and I went right in and saw the doctor. He used some very soft adjustments and before long I walked out no longer walking sideways and hunched over like cave man one might seem. Thank you all and see you in a couple weeks for a checkup. Chris read more

I saw Dr, Martinet for some head and neck pain related to an auto accident. I picked Dr. Martinet through a recommendation of my massage therapist. When you first meet the man he is very warm and friendly. On my first visit he did a thorough check from head to toe and did a set of X-Rays to check my spine position. So far I'm still being treated but I have noticed a difference in my pain level. Before I started I had pain every day all the time. The pain would go up and down, but now it is finally going away for periods at a time and for a few weeks has stayed lower. read more

Dr Martinet finds the causes to pain that no other doctor has been able to find. For the first time in a long time, I am back to being active again and out of pain. I love this office and all who work there. read more

Amazing appointment. I walked in with huge knee pain and zero side mobility and walked out with almost full mobility and limited pain - incredible. And it's not the first time with this result. I love the combination of advanced tequniques Dr Martinet uses to quickly pinpoint and address the problems with positive and lasting results every time. Thank you!!! read more

Dr. Martinet helped me when no one else could. I lived with a bad back for three years after straining it. I went to a dozen doctors and no one could help. With one visit, 80% of my pain was gone! Within 6 visits I was completely healed. He has helped me and many other people I have referred to him over the years! read more

Dr. Martinet has helped several friends and family members find balance and health around issues of pet, dust, and pollen allergies. He helped me overcome a rejection of calcium! Horrible stomach pains went away after only a few visits. He used extensive muscle testing to get a picture of where I needed help...it seemed like magic somehow, but after sending many to him and hearing their successes...can't deny his amazing gift of helping folks find Health. read more

I went to Dr. Martinet after trying 5 other chiropractors. An accident had left me lame. By "lame," I mean that I drove to my mailbox because I couldn't walk that far. Now I choral-direct, travel, and walk aerobically for 40 minutes several times a week. Yes, he is expensive. And his office occasionally messes up, as all administrators sometimes do. But when I have pain or mobility issues due to structural problems, Dr. Martinet is as good as chiropractors come. read more

What an incredible man and what a variety of specialties and modalities he is familiar with. From problems arising from a root canal to shoulder out of joint to neck pain - usually C-2 or L-4, this wonderful man can fix it all. Even NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique) and the sonic foot baths. I've been seeing him for years, even when I moved to So Cal. When I would come up for business trips, this was one call I always made, and they always got me in. Thanks for being there for me JP! read more

Dr. Martinet is an amazing healer. The manual structural adjustments he performs are really just the tip of the iceberg for what this man knows how to do. By the time I went to see Dr. Martinet, I had been in bad pain from a whiplash injury for 9 months (had been doing PT, prolotherapy, and taking lots of pain meds the entire time). After just a couple weeks of seeing him I noticed a big improvement in my neck and lower back pain. He also helped relieve some of my PTSD symptoms through a technique (Thought-Field Therapy) that I totally DID NOT expect to work... until it did. Finally, I could drive without having panic attacks! And think like a logical person again! Yes, some of the techniques he performs seem a bit "out there" but I am learning to keep an open mind because you never know what will work until you've tried it. Even though I'm not working in Oakland anymore so his office is not as convenient for me, I will continue to commute from SF for my weekly visits because it is worth it to have such a knowledgable healer working with me. Sure, he's pretty pricey (sadly he does not take my insurance), but in my opinion, you get what you pay for and what could be more important than your health? It's also worth noting that everyone in the office is incredibly nice and I never have trouble getting a convenient appointment time as long as I schedule it a few days in advance. read more

Dr. Martinet is not your ordinary kind of Chiropractor and thank god for that! Since I discovered him nearly two years ago I've decided he's a body worker genius. I told my friend Leslie about him and she wanted to see him every day...it's good stuff. read more

This is my first Yelp review.. I have been waiting for something really meaningful to write about and there has been nothing more meaningful than this so far! I cannot say enough how grateful I am to have found Dr. Martinet!!! He is such an amazing healer! Having earned my MA degree in Holistic Health Education, I have a little bit of knowledge about different healing modalities. Well Dr. Martinet is the first practitioner I have found that practices like 11 or 12 of these! He has helped me so much.. from sciatica which had me immobile for weeks, to mineral deficiencies I had.. to emotional and energetic blocks I have carried for years! (All of which are related to physical pain.) He is a hands on healer who really takes the time to address the whole person and figures out what is the root of the problem/s. I have never had so much relief in so many different areas in such a short period of time. He is a genius! I HIGHLY recommend him to everyone!! I have so much gratitude for him and what he does! As for the person who had a negative experience.. well it sounds like you did not really give the doctor a chance.. in my opinion, you need to be responsible for your healing even more than your doctor or chiropractor. If your adjustment didn't stay, then you probably have other issues affecting your alignment etc. (emotional, old injuries, energetic imbalances, mineral deficiencies, toxicities...) and if given the opportunity, Dr. Martinet would have been able to address! I have seen him weekly over the past couple of months and I believe it has been necessary in order to really heal the issues causing my physical ailments. I have been to other chiropractors as well and they do not even come close to comparing with Dr. M! He is world class people!! If I ever leave the Bay Area I will be sure to come back just to see him. His methods may seem a little unorthodox for some, but believe me they work! He has the knowledge and training for modern times.. he blows away any other doctor I have ever seen and I wish so much that there were a million Dr. Martinets to heal the world. He is the best!! Love him! read more

I look forward to every visit to Dr. Martinet's office. I know I will leave feeling so much better than I did when I arrived. No matter what is going on: neck ache, muscle problem, emotions, rash, on & on...Dr. Martinet has a technique to help alleviate the issue. I definitely recommend making your appointment to see him! read more

I am still a loyal patient, as needed, and I recommend him to my friends & co-workers without reservation. His office staff are wonderful, too - always a plus. read more

Dr. Martinet is a true healer. I have been seeing him on and off for years (mostly for neck issues). I always leave feeling so much better. I'd seen other chiropractics over the years and he is a true stand out. I am very grateful to have found him! read more

The guy is extremely, and most importantly, *broadly* knowledgeable. Knows a wide range of modalities and perspectives. read more

It was my great pleasure to be seen by Dr. Martinet over 6 years ago; now live in another state. WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF CHIROPRACTIC ON CHILDREN WITH "DEADLY" ALLERGIES. My daughter is required to have epi-pens handy at all times due to my grandson's allergies to all nuts, all dairy, and many other substances. What can the DOC do for him?? Anyone out there been helped due to Dr. M's intervention?? THANKS! read more

I think that Dr. Martinet has good intentions. I now also know that Dr. Martinet charges for each area worked on, something that I have never experienced while going to six other chiropractors since I've lived in California. If you have great insurance, I think you can have a positive experience here. I do not have insurance for chiropractic care and had an unsatisfactory experience here. For this type of practice, I wouldn't think that money was the bottom line. In my opinion, it's a big factor here. read more

It is rare that I write reviews for anyone on Yelp but I often rely on them when making decisions on service providers in the Bay Area. Dr. Martinet is such an extraordinary healer and generous practitioner that I want everyone to know (I send all of my family and friends to him too) and thus am going out of my normal course and posting this information to Yelp users. I also happened upon the below Yelp review by Harold D. and would not want this to be the last posting on Dr. Martinet. Moreoever I suggest that Harold D. should be ashamed of his comments. I have been seeing Dr. Martinet for more than 2 years now. I am not proud to say that I have missed a couple of appointments during that time period as well. Dr. Martinet's staff has always been professional and courteous and offered to reschedule the missed appointments for me (at no cost). Despite the fact that I believe his office policy (that every new patient signs) allows him to charge for missed appointments (I believe this is standard protocol for most practitioners that reserve time on their schedules for clients/patients), Dr. Martinet has allowed me to simply reschedule the appointment and come in another day - even after missing an appointment! I have never gone so far as to miss the second or third appointment but come on Harold, do you really expect them to just keep reserving space on his calendar for free? There are a lot of other paying clients who could have scheduled time when you decided not to or were unable to show up. On both occasions I expected to be charged for my missed appointment but had unavoidable last minute work conflicts and had to miss. On both occasions the office dealt with it in a friendly and appropriate manner as described above. I would suggest to other Yelp readers out there not to place too much emphasis in what Harold or Johnny have written as it appears to me that they both are looking for free services. The very little money I have spent at Dr. Martinet's office is probably the best money I have ever spent. Dr. Martinet takes a holistic approach to healing, has helped me resolve some formerly chronic back problems, long-standing environmental allergies and other matters. If you have never seen a holistic practitioner I highly recommend you see Dr. Martinet. It may very well change your impression of the medical community and gifts of healing. read more

Not sure how you can bill for services that apparently are not covered by insurance when you never inform the patient that it isn't covered. They fail to Bill my insurance for those services which were miscoded sad emotional therapy instead of accupressure. $50 foot baths etc. without ever showing me a price list or discussing what wasn't covered. Stay away this place has scam written all over it. read more
