Joseph A Baratta DC

Started seeing Dr. Baratta about two years ago for a pinched nerve. He was so thorough and he was able to adjust my spine around the nerves and offered me some relief — although the pain was so bad I did have to get meds in addition to the treatment.
Now I am trying to keep a maintenance schedule with him because I believe if I’d been proactive in keeping my spine aligned I may not have been susceptible to the injury in the first place.
Great staff, great treatment, and he is so accommodating, even staying late so I could make his hours when I was commuting from SF.
Thank you Dr. Baratta!!!

Dr Barratta is amazing. He’s friendly and personable and makes you feel so comfortable. He speaks to you in terms you can understand, explains everything that he’s doing, and I always walk out of there feeling great.

I have been a patient of Dr. Baratta for over 13 years. He is a wonderful chiropractor, takes his time with patients to understand their issues, and applies the right treatment at the right time. Incredibly patients when it comes time to be reimbursed by insurance, especially after car accidents. His office staff is just like him: professional, courteous and accommodating. Highly recommend him!

I have been seeing Dr. Baratta for the past 13 years and I can assure you that you will not find a more knowledgeable or caring chiropractor. I was just reminded of how fantastic he is when yesterday I contacted his office at the last minute because of neck pain and he personally responded back to me within an hour. He has successfully treated my husband and I for various back issues over the years and he is absolutely our go-​to person when we are in pain.
He is also one of the kindest and most compassionate doctors you will ever have an opportunity to meet. He is always incredibly positive, cheerful and friendly — and consistently provides outstanding customer service. He ALWAYS goes above and beyond in every way to meet and exceed his patient’s expectations.
It is rare to find a provider who genuinely cares about the well-​being of his patients. Dr. Baratta is one of these rare gems. If you have any back issues and want only the best care possible, Dr. Baratta will absolutely deliver!

Very nice staff, including Dr. Baratta!
Yet overall, the treatments are not quite effective for me.

Its no wonder Dr Baratta has 5 stars on all of his reviews ! I was gonna write a review and mention to anyone that is looking for a Chiropractor that this is the person you want treating you.
Dr Barratta Spends an adequate amount of time evaluating your needs, takes careful records and makes the correct adjustments to get you in shape. This is a perfect example of how a Chiropratic practice should be handled. Seen so many of them who do more harm than good .
5 stars, keep up the good work. I’m so happy i have a place to go when i need the care.
Thank you Dr Baratta.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Baratta for lo! probably nigh onto thirty years now. I started with him initially when my neck was very stiff and painful and my internist said there were ‘structural changes’ and implied that nothing could be done. But Dr. Baratta fixed it with his magic hands.
I’ve had back problems on and off, including a bout of sciatica that was horribly painful — and he fixed those for me, too. I see him monthly for tune-​ups because my hips don’t like to stay in one place; he puts them where they belong and keeps them from getting way out of whack.
Dr. Baratta is a genuinely good and decent man. In addition, he really cares about each and every one of his patients and will go the extra mile to see that they are comfortable and as pain-​free as possible. You remember the stories about the old family doc who dispensed love and caring and wisdom along with his medical treatments? Dr. Baratta is the present day version of that old doc. He’s the best. Plus, he has a terrific sense of humor. How can you go wrong?

Ever been to a healthcare practitioner who calmed you with a touch of their hands? That is the magic of Dr. B. The first time I hobbled into his office, I was not sure what to expect. I walked out upright, and able to breathe again.
I have been to a few DCs, and they all have their own «solutions.» With Dr. B, the solution is the one that works for you, and he has many possibilities to offer.
He is a good soul, and a kind man. He can help you.

I can’t believe how knowledgeable, caring, careful, and generally very pleasant Dr Baratta is! I was pleasantly surprised when be called me the next day after an appointment just to find out how I am doing and to see if he can help in any way. This is a fantastic chiropractor and not the first one I’ve seen.

I called this morning to desperately get my son seen for a major back pain before his lacrosse game. He was accommodating in a time of need and and fit us in last minute. Dr. Baratta has a great disposition and made me and my son feel so comfortable in his office. He did an excellent job understanding my son’s back pain and diagnosing the problem. I am so impressed with him and his office staff and truly could not have asked for a better Chiropractor. He is so personable, open to questions, and great at explaining the diagnosis. I will recommend him to everyone!!!

I love Dr. Baratta more than any doctor I have ever been to in my 30 years of living. Dr. Baratta is not only amazing at what he does as a chiropractor but he is the kindest person you will ever meet. Last year I started out by going 3x a week and he really helped me.
Over the one year of tx I have had, I now only go every 2 weeks or so and my back has improved so much. I could probably go even longer without it but I would miss his company:)
We have a Dr. Baratta catch phrase in our home since he is so friendly and full of joy. He says «Well Hello There!» all the time. I have never pointed it out to him but it is halarious and that phrase is now a staple in our home.
Also he is very fair with his rates and an honsest man. I wish my mom was single because I would tell her to marry Dr. B!!!

I’ve had sciatica for the last few months. It was killing me! The pain went all the way down my leg and it was hard to walk. I looked on Unilocal and then on my Insurance web site and found that Dr. Baratta was covered so I thought why not try him? I had the same experience as the other reviewers. He was very concerned and compassionate. He asked a lot of questions and even got a copy of MRI report from the lab so he could better understand what was going on in my lower back. From there he adjusted me very gently and massaged my lower back and put on some nice heat/​cold cream. When I got off the table the pain was almost gone! I was so happy! I went back a few more times and have iced my back. There has been a huge improvement in relieving the pain. I highly recommend Dr. Baratta! Go see him if you need help with your back.

I started going to Dr. Baratta after my wife and friends had been seeing him for years. I had developed painful back problems, and he helped me get past these initial problems quickly.
In addition to being an excellent chiropractor, Dr. Baratta is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I highly recommend his services.

Thanks to Jill R. /​Veggie Girl, I discovered Dr. Baratta a while ago when I was in deperate pain late on a Friday afternoon. I figured it was a longshot but I called anyway and … he answered his own phone and invited me to come down to his office ASAP. As I hobbled in he showed complete compassion immediately and spent a great deal of time with me until I was more comfortable and mobile. I have been a devout patient since and he has frequently saved me from potentially incapacitating bouts! He always exhibits incredible kindness and personability. Not that I wish back pain on anyone, but he is the «go to» guy if you need a chiro.
He’s on Mitchell in Walnut Creek now… don’t have exact address but the phone number is still the same.

Dr. Baratta has rescued me from pain too many times to count. I have had neck/​shoulder/​upper back problems for years, but found Dr. B two years ago when I had a major relapse on the 4^th of July weekend. I was in so much pain that I couldn’t move, so my husband looked up «emergency chiropractic» and called the only number listed… he left a message with the answering service, and the doctor called back within 20 minutes! After assessing my pain level, he had me come into his office a couple hours later (on a holiday!). Can’t say I was in tip-​top shape after my first treatment, but he was able to ease the pain a lot. Follow-​up treatments went by quickly and all my «episodes» since then have been infrequent and fixed with just a few visits. He always takes the time to listen and carefully assess where the problem is, and takes great care to make sure you are comfortable during all of the procedures (massage, adjustments, etc.) He and his receptionists are very friendly and fun to chat with. I highly recommend Dr Baratta!
