Dr. Julie is very caring and gentle. I immediately knew she cared about me and my overall health. We started working on my knees and feet (imagine a chiropractor that focuses on your feet?). I have broken each foot in the past year and was feeling less than hopeful that I can get my exercise routine back to continue losing weight. After just a week with Dr. Julie I have incredible hope. Yesterday I climbed five flights of stairs over the course of an hour and was not in intense pain. My feet have far less pain, my knees are not keeping me awake at night, and I am walking better (not over compensating for feet, knees and pelvis. Also has a second chiropractor, Dr. Ortiz, that was fabulous and gives me more flexibility in the schedule. She was part of my intake process so she knows where to pick up from visit to visit. The office is very zen with lovely energy that makes you want to hang out. Highly recommend this office for chiropratic!!!! read more

Unfortunately the nice staff and gentle demeanor does not fix someone's back. I felt like I was taken advantage of since I paid out of pocket (they didn't take my insurance). I understand I coudln have followed their instructions better and I did stop coming after sometime, but that's because after a package deals I was still in bad shape. I felt they were squeezing me for $$$ at the expense of my health, pain and time. Not cool. After the 3rd package deal (over 2.5k) and over 400$ in "back instruments", I felt something was wrong. I even had to take 1 week of medical leave and order a standing desk because I was in so much pain and not getting fixed. Sure enough, I visited another Chiropractor (the ones that crack your bones manually) and I was so amazed and overwhelmed with joy at how much relief 1 session gave me (50$, but only payed 25$ since they took my insurance) . I couldn't believe how much I improved from one session with another doctor for a fraction of the price and little to no pain afterwards as opposed to the thousands of dollars, time and pain this office put me through . The following sessions were only 30$ (10$ with insurance) and I'm now walking around without a brace or pain. One session with this other doctor was about the equivalent of 2-3 weeks (3 times a week) worth of work at Ormans. Their methods in this office will eventually work, but like this previous reviewer says (ChenZu), it will be a while 2-3+ weeks) before you see results and by then, you would already have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. Maybe their methods are less risky or whatnot, I'm obviously not a doctor but I think they could have been honest and told me I could benefit more from another type of chiropractor treatment if they really cared about my health A read more

I had recently moved to the bay area for cancer treatment, and coincidentally was experiencing some back and neck pain. I was seeking out a chiropractor and somebody recommended Julie Orman. I had seen traditional chiropractors before and had pretty good results. I'd never heard of network chiropractic but the sound of it seemed like it would be a more holistic option that would help my condition. From my very first meeting, I felt dishonest vibes. They sent me home with a pamphlet explaining the difference between "relief care" and "corrective care", basically asking me to commit to a long series of treatments with no evidence that their therapy would be effective. I felt the whole time like I was being sold, and my intelligence was being insulted. Regardless, I signed up for a program in the hopes that the purported results would come true. The recommended series of treatments is over $2000 for 20-ish visits, which is ridiculously expensive for most middle class people I would think. She was absolutely unwilling to be flexible with me on the price, even given my medical issues. The only thing she was able to do was put me on a payment plan. The actual treatments consist of laying down for a few minutes and relaxing as they lightly touch your back, then use a common activator for the adjustments. The whole process takes around 5 minutes and is done with two other patients at the same time, so it's not even one-on-one. Many times that I went my neck was completely ignored, even though it was in a great amount of pain. I stopped going after my neck didn't heal. Worst part is I am still locked into a payment plan which is charging me every two weeks and causing somewhat of a hardship. This is a real scam--they must be averaging $800/hr to touch your back. Considering taking legal action. Don't see Dr. Orman. If you need chiropractic care, please PM me. I'll send you to my new chiropractor, who is warm, friendly, and flexible. He even gives the first treatment free so you can see for yourself if it works. No contract and I'm getting great results. read more

I came to this clinic in great pain from complex skeletal and muscular problems due to living for months with a bulging disc. Dr. Orman was incredibly compassionate. Even though our first meeting was supposed to be just a consultation, when she saw how much pain I was in she treated me right away. Whereas my "back specialist" at Kaiser couldn't tell me anything about my condition without looking at an MRI and had nothing to suggest but epidurals and surgery, Dr. Orman saw immediately how thrown off my body was and how she could help me. I had avoided chiropractors because I knew I couldn't handle and was afraid I would be more injured by the dramatic cracking and pulling I've seen them do. But the method her office uses for gently tapping and pushing things back in place was just right for me. Dr. Orman basically became my primary care physician through this ordeal, recommending an excellent physical therapist and spinal decompression treatments which were key to my avoiding surgery. Now I want everyone in my family to see her to avoid future problems. It is laughable that she is criticized in a review for overpricing; if anything she is too generous. For people who do not have insurance that will cover treatments, they offer a substantial discount if you purchase a package up front, which was extremely helpful for me. Some people may have their problems solved by a quick back crack, but if you have avoided those kind of chiropractors and are looking for someone who takes a holistic approach, this is the place for you. read more

I have been treated by Dr. Orman for about six months now. Since I started seeing her my back and neck pain has gotten much better and I sincerely feel like I will eventually be completely cured. My quality of life has improved considerably because of her treatment. I have been able to ride my bike again, I feel more positive and I sleep better. The office staff is very nice. Network Chiropractic is a good place to go if you want to get well and make positive changes to your life. Denise read more

I have been to many chiropractors, and many of those have been very good. Dr. Julie Orman is simply the BEST. Not only is she an expert at Network Chiropractic, but she is full of integrity, and she truly cares about each patient. I go to Dr. Orman for overall spinal health, not any one specific issue, but I have seen people limp into her office in agony, and after several treatments, walk out a changed and improved human being! I moved out of state for five years, and couldn't wait to get back to Dr. Orman's care. Now that I'm back, I'm with Dr. Orman for life! read more

Dr. Julie and Dr. Tabi have healed back to health. I came into their office late last year unable to walk and with extreme body pain. I was able to walk again after the first visit. My work requires me to be on my feet all day. Through their care, I am back to 100% and thriving. read more

I was completely turned off by money-driven approach at this office. Here are my complaints: 1. In my free consultation, I was given a discount appointment, which turned out to just be another consultation. I spent $70 before actually having anything done, under the guise of "discounts." 2. I told her in both of my two consultations that I don't like the chiropractic "gun." It doesn't feel right to me. When I finally got my adjustment--turns out--she uses...drum roll...the gun. Never mentioned that when I brought it up. 3. Her receptionist told me to come in 15 minutes early to do paperwork. I arrived 15 minutes early and waited while she flirted with a guy in the waiting room. Didn't even acknowledge me. Finally I asked if there was some paperwork for me to fill out. Condescendingly, she tells me that it's only one page and won't take more than a moment! Why then did I have to come in 15 minutes early? Sorry for disturbing your flirting session! 4. I told the doctor in detail what my budget was. She then tried to sell me a crappy piece of tape to go around my chest with a flimsy piece of velcro to secure it at $12! Rip off!!! 5. To encourage me to come for a long series of expensive adjustments that are far out of my budget, these were her suggestions: Ask the parents I told her are abusive to me for money (not that they have any--not everyone has rich parents). And secondly, get CREDIT CARDS AND CHARGE IT! How irresponsible!! My strong impression is that this doctor wants to get you into the chiropractic money funnel. That's her driving force in my opinion. It's all marketing and manipulation. I believe that with many expensive sessions she will force your body into the "right" shape but if you want a more holistic, gentle approach that is actually designed specifically to your needs, you should search elsewhere. I think she is sneaky with her gimmicks to lure you into her office (just watch the creepy video in the waiting room of her talking about her practice--ick!--or how she'll adjust THREE people all at once, at the same time, in the same room!) read more

I started seeing Julie for help with my many health issues including chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia symptoms. Her style of chiropractic is unlike any treatment I've ever received - it is gentle and very effective - which is just what I was looking for. Somehow with just a few precise touches she is able to fix my tension and aches and I always leave her office feeling relaxed, balanced, and standing tall. Of course she can make necessary adjustments and relieve my pain, but most importantly for me, she treats the whole person which is helping improve my energy and overall health. There are lots of chiropractors who crack your back and generally rough you up. But if you are interested in wellness and supporting your body's natural healing abilities like I am, you should try Julie. She really has a gift for healing. read more

UPDATE: I got a complimentary massage for my inconvenience last time around--turned out the therapist had an injury that day but didn't have my number to inform me. (She did call me when she got my number, to apologize.) Apparently they've worked out that issue so hopefully that kind of sloppiness won't happen again. I did get a call back from them one day, at around 7 am, which I didn't appreciate. But my massage today was pretty fabulous--Nairem has 12 years of experience and her hands seem to just know what to do without my having to instruct her the whole time. I averaged their rating out. I might try the chiro stuff, and if so I'll update after that, too. ------- After having severe pain that kept me up at night, I scheduled an appointment for a massage today. I showed up just a bit early, and the office was locked. As time went by, I rang the doorbell repeatedly, even beat on the door, and called to attempt to leave an irate message. But the answering service wouldn't even let me do that. So I waited around until 10 minutes past my appointment time, then left. I just don't understand why they bother having a business if they don't know how to run it. I'm so mad that I wasted my time and energy, and still have to deal with my neck and shoulder pain!!! read more

Dr. Orman is a wonderful, caring, down to earth network chiropractor whose true goal is to heal others. She has a gentle touch, a positive disposition, and a loving, healing energy about her (without being a hippie-dippy "out there" kind of kook). Network chiropracic work is a bit different than traditional chiropractic -- there is no cracking and manipulating, and therefore it is very effective for those with chronic pain or special sensitivies. Dr. Orman is at the forefront of her practice and well respected, and I know has helped many many people recover from accidents, injuries, chronic conditions, etc. Plus she's just a pleasure to be with! read more

I've seen Julie Orman for low back pain, what an improvement. It's changed my life. Whole experience was great. Office is beautiful, staff efficient, calm environment and the doctor listened to me and was skilled. Very appreciative! read more

I've just started to get treatment from Dr. Orman and the chronic back pain i've dealt with for the last 20 years is almost gone! I've had just 7 treatments. I can't believe I don't have to deal with this for the rest of my life! Dr. Orman clearly explained her form of treatment, which I had never heard of, very clearly. She is someone I will very highly recommend! read more

julie is great, my first visit to a dc. relieved the lower back pain and helped with a hip joint problem. thanks mike read more

I"ve been seeing her for over a year and I've had great relief from Dr. Orman's treatments. I previously had a very gifted chiropractor, and despaired that I'd never find another equally talented chiropractor that I could afford. But when I needed orthodics, fate lead me to Dr. Orman. I've had great improvement in my back pain, but she is also very good adjusting arms and legs, as needed. Additionally, I really like the fact that she can competently adjust using traditional approaches, or the more gentle network approach. She is very professional and has a well run office. She has a warm manner, is flexible, and she is a good listener. And for old folks like myself, she accepts Medicare, where applicable. I am happy to recommend her. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Orman. She is effective, nurturing, and gentle. 5 stars all the way!

I have been seeing Dr. Orman on and off for 10 years. She is a top-notch chiropractor, gentle soul, has great instincts, is a great listener, and truly cares for her patients. I encourage everyone who goes to see her to take the time to really tell her your experience--she takes all of it into account while performing the treatment that will work best for you. I have had everything from severe injuries to chronic pain to run of the mill aches and pains, and through it all she has been an excellent resource. The staff is friendly, smart, and efficient. Couldn't more highly recommend this practice. read more

Dr. Orman has a gentle, non-invasive, and effective approach to chiropractic care. She has helped me with everything from a sprained ankle to chronic back and neck pain. Every time I walk out of her office I feel completely relieved and relaxed . Dr. Orman is warm and generous and is always willing to take the time to listen to my concerns and address them that day. She has been able to correct issues that other chiropractors told me would never completely heal. Working with Dr. Orman has shown me that it is possible to live life pain free! read more

Over the past five or six years I have gone to Julie whenever I have pain in my back for more than a week, unless its so painful I don't want to wait and see if it goes away. I have complete confidence that what may at first seem like a very simple painless treatment is in fact a process that is highly effective. I do appreciate the positive relaxed vibe and the knowledge that this is a well-grounded holistic approach to wellness. There are so many different approaches to "backs" and "necks," and I know I've found the right one for me. read more

At first I wasn't sure if Dr. Orman's gentle practice would work. I was used to chiropractors cracking the heck out of me! Turns out, its' working! My neck and shoulders feel sooo much better, and not just right after the visit. I feel like I'm on my way to complete wellness! I love how Dr. Orman explains everything she's doing and really listens to you. She's very knowledgable but also very personable. I would highly recommend her! read more

Dr. Orman is my first experience with a chiropractor. Her adjustments and treatment are gentle and I am not afraid of what she will do to me. I had a slip and fall recently and she has been helping my body to get back to normal. I have never had pain during or after a treatment. I really enjoy going to the clinic because I know I will leave there feeling better, no matter how I feel when I enter. Five stars for gentle healing. read more

My husband and I first went to see Dr. Julie Ormon a few months ago. We are aging and were experiencing some aches and pain. When I first met Dr. Ormon, I thought, "she is the real deal", and she is that for sure. Julie is a great chiropractor aside from being kind, compassionate and very present. She does not use force but her healing hands and modalities work wonders! We are both standing taller and free from the pain we once knew. Julie is filled with love, integrity and healing gifts. If you hurt, go see her!! read more

Dr. Orman is a gifted chiropractor. I have seen her on and off for over 10 years.I appreciate she uses both network chiropractic and traditional chiropractic treatment with an activator. At one point I had a terrible upper back pain with numbness in my arm and she helped it go away completely. I have also gone to her for allergy elimination. When I moved into a new home, I suddenly developed allergies. A NAET treatment from Dr. Orman made it go away. It's been over a year and it hasn't come back. read more

I have thought long and hard about writing this review. I have never written a negative review before. However, after being Julie Orman's patient for over 5 months it became clear to me that she was not at all interested in the healing process as she had claimed. During treatment I would be lucky if she addressed any of my physical complaints. Sometimes, I would just chalk it up to her being really busy... then the more familiar she became with me the less work she would do. There had been times when the only contact she would have was a tap on my neck or back. As a professional, it came clear that if she was busy she would still see you but not treat you. Your session could consist of laying next to 5 other people for 30 minutes. I eventually addressed my concerns with her which she expressed an unwillingness to simply listen without having to become animated and somewhat aggressive in her approach to explain herself. Well that's not what i expect from a place that claims to heal the body. And, let's not forget the amount of money involved.....in her so called treatment. Let's just say i would not recommend her to a friend! There are far to many other DC's in the area with integrity and a high standard of care! read more

I have had chronic back and neck pain for over ten years and have tried every type of body work: massage, chiropractic, acupuncture, rolfing, reiki, yoga, pain medication... All of these treatments have improved my quality of life and pain level short-term, but did not provide significant long-term relief. After many years of pain, I was convinced that my life would be about pain management, that there is no correction for my pain. Dr. Orman thought she could provide corrective care with Network Spinal Analysis. Corrective care is not cheap, but I figured that I would know after 8 weeks, and if not, I would get some treatment which is usually helpful for short-term relief. My initial evaluation showed that every bone in my neck was misaligned, ribs on the right and left were misaligned, my hips were off, my ancles were off, my right wrist was off, my knees were off and I had substantial pain. I just completed my fourth week of treatment with Dr. Orman and was reevaluated. Every bone in my neck was correctly aligned, my ribs were only out on the right size, my hips were off, but no rotation, my knees, wrist, and ankles were correctly aligned and I have significantly less pain. I have way more energy and am way more active without pain flares. It has not been a easy ride. Week 2 and 3 were very difficult and I had more pain than I had experienced in a while. Dr. Orman would adjust my neck one day, and the next day I would be in tremendous pain and every bone in my neck would be misaligned again. Luckily I was seeing her the next day. Dr. Orman explained this as old injuries resurfacing as the tension in my body was unwinding. I don't know if the results will be lasting or if results are due only to the frequency of visits. If you are looking for a quick fix or you are impatient, this is not the way. I did not feel better immediately although she does do some manual adjustments to keep you more comfortable in the process. I will update this review as things change and to let everyone know if I have had lasting results. read more

I am sad to say that my treatment with Dr. Orman will end soon. I found her office while walking one morning last year in October. I had serious shoulder pain and other issues. I took the chance to get my free massage and treatment that same day. I came back to her office 2 weeks later and I am very glad I did. I followed my treatment plan(very important by the way) and Dr. Orman did wonders to my shoulder pain; I now can swim, run, do kickboxing and enjoy my love life. The pain was so bad I was depressed because I could not do anything without my shoulder hurting. Sometimes I could not get out of bed or focus at work due to the SEVER pain. One year later I am happy and feel like a brand new person!!! I will miss her staff who are always so pleasant and happy to see Dr. Orman's patients. The customer service is fabulous Anatasia and Debra are wonderful people. Most important Dr. Orman is very gentle and will not hurt her patients which was my biggest fear when I started going to her office for treatment....she is great!! Thank you Dr. Orman. read more
