One of the longest-tenured physicians in Del Mar, Dr. Barnet Meltzer has practiced integrative and preventive medicine from 1011 Camino Del Mar, Suite 234, Del Mar, CA 92014, for over five decades, with his office situated along the village's main corridor near other wellness-focused practitioners including Del Mar Integrative Medicine & Medical Spa. He earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1969 and went on to become a nationally recognized pioneer in preventive care, founding the Meltzer Wellness Institute in Del Mar. Dr. Meltzer holds board certifications in family medicine, integrative medicine, and public health and general preventive medicine, a rare triple qualification that allows him to treat the whole patient rather than isolated symptoms. His California medical license in preventive medicine is registered under taxonomy code 2083P0500X, and his approach centers on educating patients about nutritional strategies, exercise regimens, and lifestyle modifications that preempt chronic disease before it takes hold. The practice sees patients by appointment on Tuesdays and Fridays from 8:30 AM to 2 PM, and Dr. Meltzer speaks both English and Spanish. Residents also managing stress-related musculoskeletal pain may benefit from complementary spinal care at Lerner Chiropractic elsewhere in Del Mar. Dr. Meltzer accepts Medicaid and welcomes new patients, with credit and debit card payment options available and a 5.0-star rating reflecting a loyal patient base that praises his willingness to spend extended time on individualized wellness plans.
