Dr. Jeff Hartman is our newest Associate Chiropractor and brings with him over 30 years of experience. He completed a Pre-Med & Biology degree at San Jose State University and received his chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic West. Dr. Hartman has had the honor of treating many professional athletes in his career including members of the 49ers, San Jose Sharks, and the San Francisco Giants but has always been passionate about serving a wide variety of patients and supporting his local community. He is trained in all techniques for adjusting and focuses on speed – not force – with his approach to patients. He is known for turning chiropractic skeptics into raving regulars!

Dr. Hartman is happy to be relocated to the beautiful Monterey Bay and likes being active in his free time; he enjoys golfing, cycling, playing his guitars, and spending time with his children, Brett and Rachel. We are fortunate to be adding him to our Wellness Team at Coleman Family Chiropractic and we are confident that our patients are getting the absolute best care we can provide.

Paola is our newest addition to the wellness team and is in charge of the front desk and is the first face you see when you come into the office! Originally from Mexico, Paola actually grew up in the Monterey area and was a professional chef for 13 years. It was her love of food that actually turned her on to Wellness since the Biochemical dimension is a key factor in the wellness lifestyle. Her experience with nourishing the body through food and exercise cultivated a love for all things healthy! We are happy to have her on the team and hope to keep her thriving through Chiropractic Wellness!

Daniel is our current Case Manager and resident Patient Educator; he holds one of the most important roles in the office involving patient care. He graduated from the California Institute of Integral Studies with a BA in Interdisciplinary studies; he completed his AS in Science and Math at West Valley College and his M. Div in Yoga studies at the Meru Institute. Daniel brings with him a lot of experience working with adults and children in the education system; he has spent the last 8 years working as a Behaviorist helping children learn life skills, coping strategies, social-emotional regulation, and social skills. He incorporated his passion for Yoga and teaching background and created an after-school Yoga program for elementary-aged boys called Peaceful Warriors to help enforce life skills. 

The Chiropractic wellness lifestyle has inspired Daniel to expand on his desire to help and support others by educating them on the power of the nervous system. He works directly with patients and the doctor to help them create optimal health and balance in all aspects of life. We are fortunate to have him as he is a valuable asset to our Wellness Team.

Ashley Low has been with Coleman Family Chiropractic going on 9 years. After a brief 2 year break to have kids she is now back in action and on purpose to help as many people as possible through the chiropractic lifestyle. While her skills make her accessible at any position, her tasks keep her mainly in the back office; although she still enjoys taking time to catch up with old patients as well as new ones coming into the office.
