Robert D Martines, DC

Dr. Martines is a nice enough person with chiropractic skills about on par with others that I have seen. However, he is extremely money oriented. Each visit is extremely expensive, but extremely short. And he maximizes the number of visits required by doing the minimum possible each visit.
All I can go by is my personal experience with 5 – 6 other chiropractors over the years. The outcomes at this office are NO better than any other chiropractor, the manipulations are very similar if not the same, but the cost is outrageously higher. I stuck with Dr Martines for quite a while in the hope that I would witness better outcomes, but I did not witness such a thing.
I have since switched chiropractors, am experiencing better care, do not feel like I am being ripped off at every visit. and my cost is over 50% less than Dr. Martines charges.
I would not recommend Dr. Martines. To me, this office seems more concerned about money than patients or outcomes.

My main issue is the lack of integrity with the business practice. After one treatment in my partially prepaid treatment plan I was forced to cancel my treatment for financial reasons. I was then pressured into a modified plan consisting of 4 treatments. I agreed but was not made aware that the rate per adjustment would be $ 77. I was under the impression that a modified rate would still be in effect, considering that I was there as result of a children’s charity promotion. If I knew I would pay $ 77 per 2 minute adjustment, I would have never agreed to even the modified treatment plan. It is my opinion that if you wish to make a charitable contribution while also receiving chiropractic treatment, simply send a check to that charity, and find an office with more reasonable rates that practices transparency without the sales pitches and regular pressure to refer your friends and family.

After multiple x-​rays, blood test and no solution to this problem, I made a 6 hour drive from LA to Dr. Martines. I was quickly greeted and felt confident that I came to the right place. After Dr. Martines evaluated me, he immediately identified the problem. I left His office feeling relieved that I now have a solution that would make me feel better. After my first adjustment Dr. Martines personally called to see how I was doing. The support of Him and his staff was amazing and to top it off the cost was extremely affordable.

Since going to Dr. Martines the pinched nerves in my shoulder have been getting much better and was noticeably better after the first visit. The cozy office and friendly staff make every viait a cheerful experience.

If I could I would have minus a star. Martines appears to be nice, but I think he is in it for the insurance money. I went in for routine maintenance and he sprained my neck. I was unable to move my neck for 2 weeks then slowly movement was possible but now I get severe migraines.
Also he schedules some patients say 6 to 12 for the same time then every one sits in seats facing 2 adjustment tables. He calls up 2 patients at once spends about one minute per patient, adjusts them exactly the same regardless if they are right or left handed, if they sit or climb ladders all day. You don’t want to hold up the line of patients by asking questions.
A good chiropractor takes no X-​rays (unless you are looking for a break) but instead they measure you legs to see if one is longer or they feel the bones to see which is out of place then they move that bone.
