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 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!

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. Her passion for our mission is evident with her commitment to both the staff and the patients as well as her family that she brings in on a regular basis. She has certainly made her place in our 'Family'.
