Chelly H.★★★★★2025-04-28Extremely knowledgeable with complete body healing. Highly recommended!
Raphael P.★★★★★2024-02-13Dr. Raphael is an exceptional healer. I have been seeing chiropractors for more than 30 years and worked with four different chiropractors as their massage therapist. I have cervical radiculopathy which is literally a pain in the neck. I was going through severe pain for several months straight. I saw several chiropractors trying to fix the problem with no luck. I was back in the bay area for my wedding and saw Dr. Raphael after one visit I was 90% better and after the second visit I have been pain-free for almost 2 years now. Thank you, Dr. Raphael. When you see Dr. Raphael, you will realize you are seeing more than a chiropractor. He uses techniques from the many modalities of chiropractic he does and others he has created in his many years of practice. Dr. Raphael's adjustments are incredibly gentle to the point that when I first started working with him I thought... "oh no, this isn't going to work." I'm happy to say I was very wrong. His adjustments are precise, and last!! He addresses the physical, the energetic, and the emotional components to your issues. I highly recommend him to anyone in pain. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with him today.
Jordana J.★★★★★2021-09-22Dr. Rettner is truly a blessing! He is gentle and thorough, and also a healer of many other ailments - I highly recommend him!
Tracy W.★★★★★2020-10-03I had not been feeling well for almost 7 years and went to many doctors. A dear friend of mine repeatedly told me, “Dr. Raphael is an angel, you must go see him!” I finally did and he has profoundly changed my life! I lost 24 pounds (and counting) on the 12 week weight loss program and Dr. Raphael has been there for me every step of the way! During my first clinical visit, he told me I had a hiatal hernia and fixed it with his hands. I didn’t even know I had a hernia, but the severe pain in my chest was gone. I had been to three other doctors and even had an endoscopy, but no one diagnosed the hernia, let alone fix it. That was my first appointment! Dr. Raphael has increased the range of motion of my neck and the “popping” noises are gone. He has relieved chronic pain from a spinal injury as well as a rolled ankle injury. I am able to breath more deeply and move without pain. My overall well-being is much better. Not only has Dr. Raphael helped me physically, he also offers amazing solutions to many challenges in my life, like helping my marriage. Dr. Raphael is wise, funny and compassionate and I am blessed to be in his care.
Jonathan B.★★★★★2015-04-28I went to Dr. Rettner for pain in my back and neck that has resurfaced over time. I've had chiropractic treatment since I was young, and am a big fan. Now, I find that many chiropractors are at least pretty good and can help - but others go much farther. Dr. Rettner came highly recommended from multiple sources as being a true healer, and this is certainly true. In addition to the chiropractic work, he utilizes other energetic techniques to foster a deeper level of healing. I found myself feeling better on many levels after working with him, and will continue to keep going back. If you're seeking deeper transformation, don't spend any more time looking - try out the good doctor.

Retatrutide is Eli Lilly's investigational once-weekly triple agonist (GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon receptors). Five Phase 3 trials have reported positive results, and Lilly plans to submit it to the FDA in Q1 2027. It is not FDA-approved, has no brand name or price, and cannot be prescribed outside clinical trials or Lilly's physician-requested expanded access program. Products sold online as "research" or compounded retatrutide are not legitimate retatrutide.
- Development
- Phase 3 complete
- FDA status
- Submission planned — Q1 2027 (Lilly guidance)
- Availability
- Not commercially available
- Access routes
- Clinical trials, or Lilly's expanded access program (physician must apply)
