Dr. Ted Fratto

I went to Dr Ted through a referral from my GP. I am beyond pleased with his skill, knowledge, and personality. He is warm and welcoming. He is very gentle with his moves and explains very well what the issues are. He does not pressure you into coming back, he lets you choose how many sessions work for you and your budget. I would recommend everyone to Ted. His location is MUNI close and very easy to find.

First impression… he’s one of the five-​star guys. Kinda knew the second I walked in. Office is warm and inviting but not overdone. Dr. Fratto balances personal/​warmth with professionalism in a way that few manage to find.
Talked me through the assessment and diagnosis, explained everything every step of the way, had the focus of a surgeon and the empathy of a nurse.
I just had my first adjustment this morning, so I’m still hurting pretty good; but perhaps that’s the greatest endorsement I can offer… my symptoms haven’t yet abated and I’m already confident that he’s earned my highest rating. You can just tell when someone has their **** together…

Lifesaver! Back-​pain for days, and nothing was working. I’m able to get through my days now because of Dr. Fratto. He’s a great investment for your health. Thank you, Dr. Fratto!

Dr. Ted is an amazing healer. Just walking into his office always makes me feel more comfortable, and he is always very gracious in helping me find a time that works in my hectic schedule. He is kind, gentle, and very funny. I’ve recommended him to several friends, and I have got really positive feedback from them as well.
From personal experience, I can say he works well with folks of all ages, including children. Our family has worked with him for about 15 years.
Without every being pushy, he is always open to discuss exercises and work station changes that can help improve a particular back or neck problem.
I would, and do, recommend him to anyone, and I won’t go see anyone else.
His office is also very conveniently located (for anyone using public transportation in SF), right in the heart of the Castro.

Dr. Fratto is an awesome Chiropractor. He doesn’t encourage or promote life long commitments to visits. He always seems to make himself available on short notice and seems to understand that the need for his services can come on suddenly and urgently without trying to put you off to a more convenient time. I would and do highly recommend him.

All I can say is WOW!!! I have never had such a thorough evaluation from any doctor in my life. I’m seriously I’m awe with my jaw down to the floor. He is working with some serious knowledge and skill AND he is handsome (just had to throw that in there)…how does that happen???
He really does take the extra time to get to the bottom of the cause. I was aching for days with my lower back and after today, I can honestly say I feel «fixed.» On top of easing my back pain, he also noticed my problem I’ve been having with my knee and I didn’t even bring it up to him. It seriously crossed my mind, «is he psychic?» However, I think I reality he is just THAT good.
I would beyond highly recommend him for your chiropractic needs! Plus, he is so personable, and genuine. Def. NOT a money hungry scoundrel like other chiros can be (sorry, just based on experience)! He truly does help give out «do it yourself» remedies and stretches to help ease tension and pain at home.
I had to pay out of pocket since I have a HMO but let me tell you it was worth every penny! BTW, it’s currently $ 125 for the first visit and $ 75 each time after.
THANK YOU, Dr. Ted!

A truly gifted chiropractor. I went from being in such severe pain I passed out to no pain within 24 hours after seeing him. Doesn’t push follow ups on you. Highly recommended.

Dr Ted Fratto is fantastic — his approach blends skillful and gentle chirporactic adjustments with therapeutic massages, stretching and a lot of good advice that help you heal and avoid repeating the injury. I’ve had several treatments for back and neck pain as well as sports injuries (knees, foot) and I’ve always enjoyed a fast recovery thanks to Dr. Ted. He also keeps a flexible schedule for short notice appointments which makes it easy to see him when you really need him, and he is pretty good with all the insurance plans I’ve had (including self-​pay). I wish there was a way to add a sixth star on Unilocal

I feel lucky to have been referred to Dr. Fratto years ago by friends. He’s on my short list of guaranteed healers. I know when I come to him with any kind of misalignment or muscle pain issue that he will be able to get me back on the road to feeling strong and active. Highly recommended if you want superior treatment and personal care.

Dr. Ted is a great guy and an excellent doctor. I’ve been going to him for a few years now, I tweak my back at the gym about every 6 months it seems like. He has just the right touch and knows what to do to get me back to good form. I’ve also done some personal training sessions with him on his TRX system, an incredible work out. I come from a family of chiropractors, so I’m a bit biased, but I completely believe in the practice and its ability to help people.

Dr Fratto isn’t like most chiropractors I’ve known (and I’ve tried several). His technique isn’t heavy on the old school crick-​n-​crack, but blends in a lot of yoga-​style muscle stretching and deep tissue massage which, altho more physical work for him, is better for you. It’s a more gentle approach that seems to work. I am surprised at how limber I feel when I leave his office.
He explains what he’s doing along the way and often assigns simple exercises for you to do at home in between sessions. His fee is comparatively reasonable and he never pushes for the next appointment, which makes seeing him more comfortable.
I think his practice is mostly word-​of-​mouth (that’s how I found him), so consider this posting a shortcut. Def worth a try.

I’ve been going to Dr. Fratto for years now. Dr. Fratto is a great guy — friendly, knowledgeable and makes me feel very comfortable. He has helped me through SO many back and muscle pain issues. I like that he doesn’t just adjust you and send you on your way. He addresses the root of the problem and works with both my mobility and adjustments I might need. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Fratto helped me in a big way. My lower back was killing me for months and months. He spends tons of time showing you exercises to strenthen your core so taht you don’t have to keep coming back and spending tons of cash like typical Chiropractors. He is very personable and patient and is a great guy.
I would highly, highly recommend Ted!

Through the years I have seen some great chiropractors. What separates Ted from the other amazing specialists is he is a chiropractor AND a physical therapist. He has a separate room where he does stretches with you to increase your mobility and flexbility.
I was notorius for not stretching and it was getting more noticeable. I first went to Ted because of my strained calf. He did both physical thearpy and chirpopractic work to help expedite the recovery.
I then continued to see him to help me balance out all parts of my body.
I am now stretching more and feeling more energy thanks to Dr. Ted’s excellent treatment.
I highly recommend him!

I had my first appointment withTed today. He was awesome! His appointments are half an hour rather than 20 minutes so he really takes time to do the important «active release» prep of relevant muscles, etc., before making the adjustment. He is very articulate and good at explaining what is going on. He also emphasized the importance of rehab exercises and other tips for avoiding re-​injury, and demonstrated several exercises that would be good for me to do. His approach was thoughtful and although it may be a bit too early to tell, the chiropractic adjustment itself seemed to get at exactly the issue I needed. Also, he was just super nice and friendly and great at making sure I was comfortable at all times. Thanks!
