To Our Patients,
I’m in the unenviable position of having to inform you that Coastal Sports and Wellness Medical Center will be closing in November.
The current economic crisis has affected many in San Diego as well as throughout the country. Like many businesses, we have had continued financial difficulties that have finally reached a point where we cannot continue to operate.
This decision has been a difficult one for me to reach. The idea for Coastal Sports and Wellness came about 15 years ago at the beginning of my medical training, and I have been working toward making that idea a reality since that moment.
There has been a lot of hard work, sweat, and perseverance that went into the planning and opening of Coastal Sports and Wellness.
At this point, I don’t have an announcement about continuing my sports and family medicine practice. At this point I plan to take the month of December off from medical practice to review possible options.
In the meanwhile, to maintain a continuity of medical care, I would highly recommend the physicians at San Diego Sports and Family Medicine. Their physicians have a similar style medical practice. If you need to transfer records, please contact our office and we will assist.
San Diego Sports & Family Medicine – Carmel Valley office
3880 Valley Center Drive, Suite 201, San Diego, CA 92130

Below is the current information about our partners and co-workers

-University City Physical Therapy and Gino Cinco will continue to see physical therapy patients at Coastal Sports and Wellness through November and also at their Governor Drive location.
-Dr. Dan Lehnberg, D.C. will continue with his sports chiropractic office in Redondo Beach. For those patients that are seeking continued chiropractic care in the area, we recommend Dr Mike Rintala at http://rintalachiro.com
-Kevin Klatt and Nikki Krause will continue to offer massage therapy through their individual practices. We will assist their current massage clients in continuing their treatments.
-Scott Richardson will be taking a 1 year position as an acupuncturist with a cruise line beginning at the end of November. He will be offering several discounts on massage and acupuncture so feel free to call us at (858) 678-0300 to find out more.
-Evan Johnson will be continuing his personal training business at a different location. We will update you on his new contact information when it becomes available.
-For those that enjoyed our Computrainer cycling classes, Urban Aire in downtown San Diego has opened a similar Computrainer Multirider center run by local cycling coach Sean Burke and should be able to meet your indoor cycling needs.
I deeply appreciate the trust and confidence that you have placed in me as your physician.
Again, this has been a decision that has been extremely difficult to make and I appreciate the support that all of you have shown Coastal Sports and Wellness.
Yours in Health,
John M. Martinez, M.D.
