Ideal Health Chiropractic

Dr. Mike Tarr is great. He listens to you and works on your specific problem areas as well as standard adjustments. He spends time with you and really seems to care. He is also very personable.

Dr Tarr is knowledgeable, listens and asks questions in order to give the best treatment around.

Dr. Tarr is my favorite chiropractor of all time! He’s very knowledgable with the latest techniques. I always leave feeling so good! I wish I can come everyday.
Most of the times I’ve seen Dr. Tarr have been because I’ve exhausted all my options for treating my migraines and neck pain. I should already learn my lesson and just come to him first! He gives me the best advice on how to relieve the pain and the best possible treatment. Never have I felt like he was into «sales» or given a regimen of «10 more treatments until you feel better» deal. He truly cares about your Heath and well-​being.
From the moment I enter into the office, I’m greeted by the loveliest receptionist ever, Robin! She cares about you too, more than just your medical record! I always feel like I’m with good friends, chatting it up and talking about our families.

I’ve never been to a chiropractor before. Dr. Tarr came highly recommended to me. He really makes you feel at ease and is great at what he does. His receptionist is also very friendly and helpful. If you ever think you need a chiropractor, I definitely suggest seeing Dr. Tarr.

I’ve been going to Dr. Tarr for a few years now, he is very caring & accommodating. I was in so much pain at one point last year I was in tears. I needed several adjustments during a one week period, his schedule was booked but he made time for me by letting me come in during his lunch time & after is last apt for the day.
I’ve been to other Chiropractor’s but they did not compare to Dr. Tarr. A+++++++

Dr. Tarr is amazing. I came in with a twisted and painful low back and he was able to correct the condition. He has amazing hands and is one of the best adjusters I have come across. I strongly recommend him and encourage you to review the other comments — I agree, he’s amazing!

Dr. Tarr is awesome. I have been to a lot of chiropractors before but he really knows what he is doing. I definately recommend him to anyone who needs a great adjustment.

Dr. Mike Tarr is so very good at what he does. He is very skilled at easing the pain in my neck and hips, he always remembers where I hurt. He can resolve the stiffness and soreness that comes from working out and stretching too much in yoga. He is talented, understands aches and pains and really helps myself and my family stay healthy. Robin is a great office mgr too, and they work well as a team to help us get in and get an adjustment. Thanks!!!

Dr. Tarr is amazing, he is always happy and smiling and very pleasant to be around. Neither me nor my family has ever had an issue here, all experiences have been above par. He explains everything he is doing very clearly and he taught me a couple tricks that I can do at home to align my back properly. He even showed me stretches to help me with my rib pain so I dont have to go in as often.

yep if your back’s hurtin’ doc mike is the place to go!

Dr. Mike Tarr is the best chiropractor I have known, and I have lived in 5 states where I have always used chiropractic care. Recently, upon returning from an extended trip to Europe where I walked a ton on uneven surfaces, my leg was killing me. I went to an orthopedic’s office and the Dr. took about 3 minutes with me and told me to get an MRI and come back. I asked Mike what he thought he could do to help. He told me my problem was sciatica and he could have me better in 3 visits. After 1 visit, the discomfort was markedly better. It took 4 visits total, and I was completely restored to full function, pain free, and no MRI. I buy packages of adjustments at Ideal. A deal for the real deal.

I have been coming to dr. Tarr for years. Since I do a lot of physical work, when I need some adjustments, dr. Tarr is there for me. One time my back was out for 24 hrs, robin, his secretary was able to get me in on a short notice for a booked up Saturday and squeezed me in for 15 min session. It cured my back spasms and I was able to walk again without pain.
Also dr. Tarr service is excellent, unlike other chiropractors who cheats you with your money to manipulate one part of ur spine then let you Leave, he believes that every part of your body is aligned properly. So if something goes out, then everything is out of proportion. With this mentality, he fixes your problem but he makes sure to check all of the body parts as well. He will also recommend the proper exercise with your injury when you heal. Also he doesn’t believe in returning very often. Only when needed, so he really encourages to do exercise and strengthen our muscles to lessen the injury potential.
I can’t find a more honest chiropractor who doesn’t just cheat me for my money. He cares about his clients and that’s why I kept coming back to him for almost 10 yrs.

I had a really bad case of Golfer’s elbow, which is unique since I don’t golf I rock climb. I was having major issues with my inside of my elbow and in one visit pain went from 90% to !0% which is tollerable.
Thanks Dr Mike
Although don’t count on him to return your calls

Dr. Tarr is the real deal. I’ve been seeing chiropractors since I was a teen (so, that’s decades, folks). I’ve moved a lot and seen lots of chiros, some better than others. I always hate finding a new chiro because by the time I have to leave my current chiro I’ve kinda fallen in love with them they are so good. I moved to the Bay a year ago and put off getting a chiro. I’m SOOO happy to have found Dr. Tarr! He just gave me a full body adjustment. This was possibly the most comprehensive adjustment I’ve ever received. I had some pretty acute shoulder pain, so I expected more appointments, but he says I’ll really only need one more. That was certainly an indication to me that he wasn’t looking to just have me come in as frequently as possible.
I’m absolutely thrilled to have found him, will definitely be returning and would certainly recommend him.

Best chiropractor in the Bay Area, bar none.
He is not a conveyor belt chiropractor, he takes his time and explains everything he is doing. He just takes care of you.
Dr. Tarr is fantastic!

I have only seen Dr. Tarr once so far, but he is a great guy, knowledgeable, and very energetic! He did a great job at explaining how the body works in relation to the spine, and why it is so important to make sure everything is in aligned properly.
I will be going back very soon for my next appointment.
P. S. Dr. Tarr has worked with some pretty big dudes from the 49ers, so you can be sure he’s strong enough to straighten you out too ;)

I was always skeptical of chiropractors, so even though Dr. Tarr came highly recommended by my friend, I was still nervous. He is fantastic! At my first appt, told him I was nervous, and he walked me through everything very patiently. He put me right at ease.
His adjustments have always made me feel great afterwards, and his goal is fixing the problem (not temporarily making you feel better so you have to keep coming back over and over).
Highly recommend him!

Dr. Mike is the best!
Most chiropractors are quick and just work on your back. As I explain to other people, Dr. Mike adjusts you all the way from your tippy toes to your finger tips. He understands that if something’s out in another part of your body, it is probably throwing off another part of your body. Plus he does all of this for just $ 50! You get quality work for a great deal!
Many times I get a deep tissue massage from George to make my adjustment even more thorough. George is really good, making sure that he’s putting enough pressure but not too much.
Don’t waste your time searching for a chiropractor. Dr. Mike is THE one!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Tarr (Mike) for about 10 years now. Far and away he is the BEST Chiropractor I have ever seen (been going all my life)!! He is super nice as is his staff and Mike is incredibly knowledgeable and has great intuition for identifying problems and correcting them quickly. I don’t trust another physician or therapist of any sort as much as I do Mike. The same goes for Cindy and George, the two massage therapists that work with Ideal Care.
I will always recommend treatment at Ideal Care Chiropractic!

Dr. Mike Tarr is the best! He only treats what is bothering you and does a fantastic job. He gives excellent suggestions to correct the problem so you don’t have to come in for adjustments any more than necessary. He is very skilled in treating anything from sports injuries to pregnancy related woes.
