Chiropractic helps everything!
“I went to see Dr. Harte for a few reasons, the usual ones you think of for chiropractors like neck pain, but then also for fatigue, brain fog and digestion issues. That's the thing that everyone needs to know about chiropractors is that they can help you with anything, not just sore muscles.
”It has been 5 weeks now and I can say that I have improved about 90%. I have more energy, I can think more clearly and I just feel good. I just noticed last night that I don't have any soreness anywhere in my body, that was awesome. Dr. Harte is very passionate about health and helping your body to become the best it can be. He is a good partner to have in restoring your health, maintaining your health for life and to navigate health issues. I would definitely recommend him for any health issue or ‘dis-ease.’ Oh and I also take my 19 month old to see him as well and that has been a great experience as well.”
Sondra Cleghorn, Larkspur

Dr. Harte keeps me dancing!
“Before going to Dr. Harte, I was in trouble. My health had deteriorated, my neck was in pain and crunchy, I had a hard time sleeping, migraines, couldn't turn my neck, had numbness down my arm, and I had TMJ. I thought I would have to have surgery, and thought this was the "normal" aging thing. I was only 42! I was used to being very active, but found my ability to do the things I wanted, were being limited because of the condition of my body. Dr. Harte treats the WHOLE body, to get every aspect of your health in a better place, to heal itself after the chiropractic adjustments. Every single health issue is now hugely improved or completely reversed, and I can prove it! I am now 49 years old and am a pole dancer and an aerialist !! Dr. Harte keeps me dancing!”
Sandra Wayner, San Anselmo
Dr. Harte opened my eyes to chiropractic care!
“Dr. Harte is amazing and he shows that through his compassion and his care. I originally saw Dr. Harte for back pain but he opened my eyes to the real world or chiropractic care. Since I began seeing Dr. Harte, my clinically diagnosed depression is gone along with my chronic headaches! I can only imagine what else is better too since my original x-rays were a mess!!!! It's so nice to be able to manage ailments the old fashion way... by letting the brain, your innate intelligence, deal with it!!! Dr. Harte helps your brain take the ‘dis’ out of your ease!”
Ashley Reyna, Novato
Chiropractic care helps!
“My husband has been seeing Dr. Harte for over 15 years and has referred many of his friends and acquaintances to his practice. He is a contractor and has been since he was 18 -- he's banged himself up pretty good in his 30-some years on the job; dislocated shoulder, ripped open his lower arm and had it reconstructed, spent way too much time on his knees. He is also very active and generally the guy you call when you need a big, strong friend to help you do something fun or stupid. He thoroughly distrusts the medical profession particularly when they prescribe medications. Apparently he couldn't stand up straight and was in a lot of pain when he first visited Dr. Harte back in the early 90's. Don gave him a new lease on life and has been putting him back together ever since. I've been part of Dr. Harte's practice for about 4 years since I moved to the area. I used to think that chronic lower back pain and occasional headaches were just a way of life, but I feel better now than I did when I was 18. My seasonal allergies have gotten better every year and I have gotten rid of all of my pain, cold and allergy medicines. My husband and I stop in for adjustments once or twice a week and Dr. Harte is a godsend when we return from long plane-trips. Now I am 5-months pregnant and feeling it in my hips and lower back; without Dr. Harte, I am sure that I would be laid up and out of commission."
”We are all born with the power to heal ourselves, chiropractic adjustments open the pathways that get blocked by the silly things we do like sitting at a desk most of our lives or riding down a bumpy hill on a mountain bike. Dr. Harte is a little wacky sometimes, but he holds himself to a very high standard of care and cares deeply about his profession and his practice members. The costs pale in comparison to the benefits that chiropractic provides and the savings in surgeries, medications and general malaise.”
Danielle Lawson, San Anselmo
Back pain has diminished!
“I have more energy, less back pain.”
Inna Rubio, Novato
I can see!
“Better vision!”
Michael Rubio, Novato
My overall health is much better thanks to chiropractic!
“I have been ecstatic about the results I am seeing from almost three years of coming to Dr. Harte. My overall health is much better, and my major complaint, pain in my neck, has diminished to just noticeable. I have learned that these gains take time, a progression of steps, and that my first expectations were unrealistic. This has been really good care. Dr. Harte is an attentive and compassionate chiropractor, who uses a lot of feedback from testing. I enjoy his chipper outlook, and zany sense of humor. Definitely an upper to come to the office. I am now almost 79 ,and I can lift more weight, walk more miles, sleep like a baby,and lead a busy life that was interrupted five years ago by pain so severe that neurosurgeons were advising immediate surgery. I definitely recommend him as a chiropractic, and you may find that you don't need to see other doctors so often when you are in his care.”
Gay Luce, Corte Madera
The Harte Of Chiropractic!
“Dr. Harte has a true heart!!! Dr. Harte is obsessed with health through chiropractic and he's made me obsessed with it too!!! I thought chiropractic was only for people with bad backs... but that couldn't be farther from the truth! I feel a million times better from head to toe since I've been getting adjusted by him. Going to see Dr. Harte for the first time was one of the best decisions I've ever made! It was money extremely well spent and my body and soul are very thankful for everything he has done for me! One day he will be adjusting my future children as well... Thank you so much Dr. Harte... when you decide to retire... I don't know what I'm going to do.. but until then I can tell you I will be a faithful practice member!"
Ashley Reyna, Novato
Dr. Harte is the best!
“Dr. Harte has very convenient hours, which is great for me because I commute to SF, and can stop in after work. Another thing that I like is that I don’t have to become stressed about being late or forgetting appointments because all visits are drop-in. Dr. Harte does a great job at correcting my subluxations, AND I often hear a story or a joke in the process. He creates a very warm and friendly environment.”
Barbara Maher, Novato
No more high blood pressure!
“I have no use for my high blood pressure pills anymore, since seeing Dr. Harte. I now take only cholesterol and thyroid pills. I will not refill those prescriptions. I sleep well now.”
Neil Sorensen, Novato
More vitality!
“I have more vitality. I've ceased medications for osteoporosis (Fosamax), and cut down on Synthroid (thyroid)."
Heather Andrew, Novato
Overall health has improved!
“I get much better sleep. I get over illnesses much faster, and I don’t get sick as much. I do notice a better memory. Overall, much improved sense of well-being.”
Emily Judd, Mill Valley
Chiropractic has helped my cholesterol!
“I just received the results of my yearly CBC and cholesterol tests. Triglycerides were down 75% to 42, and cholesterol down about 30% to 146. My physician said that the results looked like those of a 12 year old (I’m 43)."
“For years, my cholesterol always hovered around 200. I've always eaten well, exercised and taken heart-healthy supplements including fish oil. I’m trying to normalize all factors in my life, and can only conclude that the chiropractic care you have provided me with since 2006 has had some sort of positive effect."
“In addition to improved mental clarity and a feeling of general well-being, your care may have radically reduced my chances for heart disease. My two daughters under your care also seem to have improved mentally and physically since last year. It kind of seemed expensive at first, but every dollar has been worth it.”
Dan Poore, Mill Valley

My memory is better. I like myself better because I feel better. my sinuses feel better than they have in 10 years!”
Lorena St. Clair, Mill Valley
Many benefits come from chiropractic adjustments!
“Since being adjusted by Dr. Harte, the clarity of my brain has improved. I have experienced a feeling of renewal. I find that my senses are sharper and I enjoy a general sense of well-being. I consulted Dr. Harte because of the discomfort of my feet when walking. I now walk in comfort and truly enjoy the many extra benefits of Dr. Harte’s adjustments.”
Ellen Spaethling, Larkspur
Dr. Harte helped my heart!
“No (heart) fibrillation for five months! Physically better, and mentally about 96% better. I do feel much, much better overall.”
Hermila Gonsalves, San Rafael
My leg pain is gone!
“I have been going to traditional doctors for years, trying to alleviate leg pain and numbness in my foot. I went to physical therapy, had spinal injections, and took medication. Nothing helped. I couldn't sleep through the night, as I’d wake up in severe pain. I thought that my condition was chronic, but then I ran across Dr. Harte’s flyer and decided to go see him. Since seeing Dr. Harte, my leg pain is gone, numbness in my foot is dissipating and I can sleep through the night without ANY pain. I am so thrilled that I went to him. He’s the best. I would wholeheartedly recommend him.”
Grace Minaberry, Corte Madera
Thanks to chiropractic care, I am allergy free!
“I have been an allergy sufferer all my life. Every Spring I have needed drugs to help alleviate the misery of hay fever, but they never worked completely. Now, thanks to the chiropractic care I have gone through an entire season with no symptoms, no drugs. Thanks to chiropractic care I am allergy-free!”
Mark Favell, San Francisco
Sinuses feel better!

Coach Dave Wylie, Novato
Dr. Harte is deeply caring!
“I do not assault my body with harmful drugs. Even so, I could not possibly have been as well, as happy, as productive without Dr. Harte’s Chiropractic Wellness Care, and I am deeply appreciative of all that he has contributed to my health and well-being. He is deeply caring, diagnostically astute, and a very talented health care professional."
Rose Taylor, Mill Valley
Dr. Harte and chiropractic have helped me!
“Within six months, I was pain free. But some other miraculous things happened along the way. I used to have two or three colds a year. I have not had a single cold in three years (since coming to Dr. Harte). I used to have trouble sleeping. Now, I sleep like a baby. I had restricted urine flow, but now it is back to normal. My PSA dropped from 9.5 to 3.5. Then, I went to a radiologist who did an ultrasound and a color doppler of my prostate. He told me that the cancer is dormant.”
Ted Heath, New Mexico
My blood pressure is fine!
“In June, 2000, I was facing a second back surgery. I decided to try Chiropractic with Dr. Harte instead. My leg and buttock pain of many years vanished. I continued in Dr. Harte’s Wellness program, to continually improve my health. After taking blood pressure medication for 13 years, I began to experience dizziness. It turned out that, through the adjustments to my spine, my pressure had returned to normal, so my medication was no longer necessary, and was now causing the dizziness. I stopped taking it, and my blood pressure is just fine.”
Janice Cobb, Corte Madera
No ear infections!
“My daughter has been adjusted since she was three days old. She is the only baby in my mothers’ group who has never had antibiotics, who has never had an ear infection, and she is almost two. I attribute her and our family’s sparkling health to regular chiropractic care.”
Misty Steffan, Mountain View
I was skeptical at first!
“I was skeptical at first, as I had been to several chiropractors over the years who did me more harm than good. But, during the weeks that followed, my range of motion and mental outlook had become better and better. Most of the pain disappeared. My vision, which required three different sets of bifocals in five years, returned to normal. I only need reading glasses. I drive two hours (105 miles) from Clear Lake to Corte Madera to get adjusted by Dr. Harte.”
Joseph Colabella, Clear Lake
Dr. Harte helped me when no one else could!
"Before I found Dr. Harte, I had been to one acupuncturist and 11 other chiropractors. Besides getting rid of back and neck pain, Dr. Harte's care has improved my life in so many areas… .energy, emotional and mental clarity, flexibility, sports abilities, a sense of well-being and overall enthusiasm. Thanks, you're the best!"
Patty Charley, Petaluma
Pain medication no longer needed!
"2 years of pain after surgery on my left knee, the physical therapy, several orthopedic experts sending me home with pain killers. Now, in 3 weeks, I'm able to stay off pain pills, my knee is more pliable, and I no longer have to wear my knee brace to walk. It works, the works of Dr. Harte."
Marie Best, Rodeo
Infants need chiropractic care too!
“At five months old, my son Ricky wasn't sleeping through the night and wasn't eating well. All that changed with Dr. Harte. Now at twelve months, he gets sick much less, and our friends tell us how much more alert he is than all the other kids his age.”
Olga Prospero, Richmond
Asthma is gone!
“I came to Dr. Harte because of my back, but when he explained to me about the benefits for my two sons, 4 and 5 years old, I decided to bring them too. My sons’ asthma and allergies are gone completely, they are more alert, and their ability to learn is incredible.”
Natividad Gutierrez, Corte Madera
I feel younger!
“I am now feeling younger than before I started Chiropractic. I definitely feel happier. It has given me a better attitude about life. I know now that growing old doesn't mean growing worse, health-wise. Things can get better!”
Marie Fuchs, Mill Valley
Chiropractic helped my 5-year-old!
“My son Nicholas, who is five and a half, has histiocytosis, a rare auto-immune disease. He has received several chiropractic adjustments and, already, his energy has increased. He has a better attitude, and I've noticed fewer temper tantrums.”
Valerie Goodale, Novato
Chronic back pain is a thing of the past!
"My formerly incapacitating chronic back pain is a thing of the past, and despite injuring my knees and badly breaking a collarbone in later biking accidents, visiting Dr. Harte regularly has kept me doing the things I love, rock and ice climbing, mountain biking and even running."
George Schevon, Berkeley
Chiropractic helps!
“I've always had what I believe to be the norm. Since adjustments began, I have so much more. Pretty soon, I won’t have to sleep!”
