Seems to no longer be returning calls or emails. Checked with a few friends i know who used to see him and the give the same report. The sign is still on the building, but just hope he is ok, and not unwell.... Used to really enjoy my visits....nice guy. He is in my prayers. read more

By far the best! You will leave fully aligned! I've been to many and no one is as skilled as Dr. Dorman!

Dr. Dorman is super. He is the end of my search for a San Diego Chiropractor. Bam! My very discerning (and I might mean picky) friend recommended him. I'm very picky too and Dr. Dorman is a really great chiropractor. He gives you a massage at the start of each session. The massage breaks up adhesions and prepares you for the adjustment. The adjustments are thorough. He's not the guy who has 5 minutes to say hi, adjust you and eject you from the table. You can go anywhere in town for that. He is the guy who spends the time it takes to relax the body and nervous system. His hands are gold! Also, he's affordable and he sees kids as well. Yay! read more

Patrick Dorman, DC - Chiropractors Near Me - San Diego, California

I'm so grateful I decided on Dr. Dorman as my chiropractor! He explained everything as we went through my first visit, he checked on me every time he moved me or massaged something. He's very respectful and responsive. Also, he asked questions, felt all of my areas of pain, massaged me and then did some adjustments. I like that I wasn't placed on a machine & then forgotten for 20 mins. He does the whole treatment himself. He suggested I come home and ice, which is exactly what I am doing now. Great visit! I'll be back! read more

First of all, I want to start off by saying that I nearly went to med school and that my father is a CT surgeon. In my family chiropractic is a four letter word. It seemed, at least to my sister and I, that going to see a chiropractor would be tantamount to taking sides against the family. Enough of that blather. About five years ago I hurt my back while doing some dead lifts at the gym. I literally could not move - I was in complete agony. Out of desperation and self preservation I went to a chiropractor that a co-worker had recommended. He adjusted me, made me pay for x-rays, gave me all this nonsense and mumbo jumbo, made me sign up for two or three visits per week for the next five weeks. As I hobbled back into my car feeling exactly the same, except that I had spent money and now was scheduled to lose more money. I went back to one more session later that week and I was still in the exact same predicament - I canceled the remaining appointments. I called my outrigger coach and explained that I wouldn't be able to make it to practice. He immediately texted me Dr. Dorman's information. My coach assured me that Dr. Dorman was for real. At this point I was convinced that my father was right, that all chiropractors are frauds, quacks, and charlatans... BUT... I was still experiencing insufferable agony. I called, he was booked, but would stay late to see me. I went into his office. I explained to him what happened. He examined me. He had me get on the table... This is where things took a remarkable (short term) turn for the worse. He did all sorts of body work, pressure point work, and really worked the area plus some spots on my left lat (that I thought wasn't associated, but what do I know, right?)... Everything that he put me through hurt like a mo-fo. I can still hear Dr. Dorman telling me to breath... Everything culminated in the adjustment. Dr. Dorman helped me up off of the table. To my surprise (and joy) I was able to stand up straight and walk without a pronounced limp. It was a freak'n miracle. I went once more at the end of the week and against his advice actually raced that Saturday. But I was cured. He fixed me. He isn't one of those chiropractors who will try to up-sell you, or try to get you to sign up for more sessions. He is real and he is a 100% straight shooter. Since then I have been going back there between one and four times per year when I hurt my back doing something stupid. read more

I have been coming to Dr Patrick for well over 15 years now, and have always been pleased with his treatments as well as his great insights of the human condition! read more

Kind, smart, caring, very experienced, professional. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who wants a DC whether for a 'tune-up' or for serious conditions. read more

I have chronic neck pain but when it got so bad that it was keeping me up at night I decided I had to stop trying to tough it out. I've gone 5 times and really feel a big difference and for the first time in a very very long time feel that maybe I don't have to have chronic neck pain. I would recommend Dr. Dorman to anyone. Nice guy, great massage followed by spinal adjustment and very reasonably priced! read more

Patrick has amazing skills as a healer. I am an MD myself and see him both for painful injuries and for maintenance. I also send my patients (as well as family and friends) to him. His skill and the specificity with which he applies his techniques are impressive and effective. He also has a kind and healing personality. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!! I am floating on air after my first and definitely not last visit with Dr. Dorman. He is a great guy, personable, knowledgable, great with his hands and the adjustment was perfect. He got to know me first, asked me questions, listened carefully and then proceeded with a deep tissue massage on my back primarily from the waist to my neck. He concentrated on my left shoulder/neck/blade area because that's the area the was bothering me....but he also did a thorough job on my right side too. He stretched me and then adjusted me. He's awesome and I have a follow up appointment for Tuesday. I almost wish Tuesday was already here because his massage was so great. I thought I would be creeped out by a guy giving me a massage but he was completely professional and definitely nothing to be worried about. If you're a woman and feel weird about that, DON'T, because he is all professional!!!! Go to see him whether you have pain or not. If I can fit in a visit once a month I am going to include that into my 2011 budget!!! Thanks Dr. Dorman for your help!!!! read more

I started seeing Dr. Dorman a few years ago after a car accident. I had always been a little intimadated about seeing a chiropractor as I had some friends who had seen other and had bad experiences. Not only does Dr. Dorman welcome you with a smile and immediately put you at ease, he is also incredibly knowledgable, and his treatment worked wonders for me. That was three years ago, and he helped me recover from my accident and also from an unrelated shoulder surgery. One of the reasons I had been uncertain about chiropractors in the past was that I heard that you had to keep going and going and going. You felt good - but you couldn't stop or you'd be back to square one. Dr. Dorman actually tells you when he sees you improving and will recommend if you can cut back. He truly is in the business for the health and well-being of his patients, not for the money. A true gem! read more

Once again my son has turned me on to Patrick and his magic hands. I have never had a chiropractic adjustment before and I was a bit nervous. From what I am told Patrick is a bit unique. He spends a good 20 minutes massaging you muscles to loosen them up before the adjustment. I have come to enjoy the adjustments and really love the massage part as well. I cant compare him to other Chiropractors, but I think he is very good. read more

Dr. Dorman is the best. He is very professional and knowledgeable. Thanks Dr Dorman for always fixing my back. See you next time

Dr. Dorman was kind enough to see me when I needed an emergency chiropractic appointment. He completely "fixed" my neck within a few visits. Now I see him regularly for maintenance and continue to feel great! He truly cares about his patients. I feel confident recommending anyone to see him. I'm so glad I found him!! read more

I kept procrastinating to see someone new, but the outcome was great!! Set an appt up for my daughter, so we ll see what she has to say... I know she won t be disappointed... Thank you Dr. Dorman!! read more

World class! When I went to him for the first time, it was after seeing tons of chiropractors sometimes twice a week. Dr. Dorman is at the top. I was referred to Dr. Dorman by a fabulous massage therapist. Dr. Dorman literally made my kundalini energy flow again. In other words, he connected my upper body with my lower body on a physical level. This connection, over time, has made me think clearer and my facialist says that my skin is "sufficiently hydrated." In my thirties no one ever said that! I have definitely slowed down the aging that had been in progress. His referrals have also been top notch. I pray that he stays sane and healthy to continue taking care of all his clients in the manner that Ricardo and the others have described. A rare find who continues to get better by improving himself. read more

Dr. Dorman is the best! He really cares about the well being of his patients and it shows. He's super nice and caring! He's seriously the best chiropractor I've been to, he works hard to address problem areas. He is great on fitting me into his schedule whenever I need. He only recommends to you what is needed, he really wants you to feel better. It's hard to find such a great doctor!! I recommend him to everyone!!!! read more

I've been to a couple of Chiropractors and I know longer need to continue my search. He is the best and takes the time to focus on your problem instead of the usual adjustment. I'm so happy my friend referred me. read more

My back-injury in a car-accident, and work-related injury forced me to see many different Chiropractors, Some of them consider them self "Specialists" In last 40 Years I went trough many of them, with poor results, One of those "Specialists" actually injured me, where I needed treatments for his "treatment" I had to give up on chiropractic treatments all together for 6 years, When I found Dr. Patrick Dorman (last year) my first visit showed me that he is a different bread of chiropractors, my search is over. Dr. Dorman is qualified, accommodating, and very professional, I would recommend him to my family, and friends. read more

Dr. Dorman, Wow, what a wonderful surprise. I'm 70 and I've been to a couple of dozen Chiropractors the past 40 or so years with varying results; some not so good and others ok. Most were like mechanics, twist this, pull that come back and see me in a couple of days or sign up for 30 sessions and pay me up front. In and out in 10 or 15 minutes. Saw Dr. Dorman this past week, he took all the time he needed to understand my problems and history then gave me a comprehensive exam. After checking me out he adjusted my hips, back, shoulders and neck. When I walked out I felt better than I had in years especially my neck. The doctor and his office are peaceful and create a nice healing energy. This guy is special. read more

I have been going to Dr. Dorman for about 12 years--I go once a month for "maintenance" -- He is simply the best. The best in every sense of the word. He is an incredible chiropractor--I have recommended friends who were hesitant to do chiropractic adjustments based on bad experience or misinformation, who had incredibly positive experiences and results with Dr. Dorman. Words cannot do justice to the multitude of skills that Dr. Dorman uses to create well-being. He has such an amazing background in so many healing disciplines. Chiropractic, massage, hypnosis, meditation, I could go on and on. He doesn't really overwhelm you with any of this, just continues the conversation if you are interested. I appreciate his incredible sense of ethics, spirituality, and good living practices. You get so much more than an exceptional chiropractic experience when you see Dr. Dorman--you leave feelilng fabulous in both mind and body. You can't beat that. read more
