I've been seeing Dr. Isaac for acupuncture treatments for over a year. I've found these treatments to be extremely effective in treating stress and anxiety. Moreso than talk therapy, and even wellbutrin! Dr. Isaac is attentive, calming, and very informed in his practice. When it comes to muscular tension that I've carried for years he has many different approaches that help release tension effectively. I always leave a session feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Dr. Mari and Dr. Isaac have created a caring, positive office environment that is welcoming and soothing. I am so grateful to have such wonderful practitioners in central Maine! If you haven't tried acupuncture you would be in great hands to start here!

I came to Mari back in March with depression, anxiety. I was having constant chest tightness and pain, feeling anxious and I was a complete mess! I have tried so many different anti anxiety medications and none of them worked, I just wanted to give up honestly but Mari saved me! She did a ton of bloodwork and took the time to really understand my concerns and how I was feeling. Come to find out a I was low on a lot of levels, I had yeast overgrowth throughout my body and I have Lyme. I got placed on a ton of vitamins and within a month I was feeling so much better. I now have energy and I don't dread getting up, I am happy, I am involved more with my kids, my chest doesn't hurt and my anxiety and depression are very much at ease! Mari is the only doctor who actually took the time to find out what was going on and not just hand me pills, she changed my life! I would still be stuck in a dark hole if it wasn't for her, I highly recommend seeing her! She is extremely kind, nice and motherly and the lesser judgmental person I've met! Please give their office a call and make an appointment, it could save your life like they did mine!

I suffered from Plantar Fasciitis for months! Other Doctors and specialist showed me stretches and exercise offered pain meds. While Dr Mari was treating for Lyme she noticed me limping! That day she treated me and next morning I was walking with out pain after one more treatment I suffer no longer!! Thank you Dr. Mari

I’ve been going to Maine Chi for several years now. Mostly seeing Issac for acupuncture. Wasn’t sure about it at first. Since though, I’ve used it for my mood which has improved. But what it does for my back is amazing. I can call any day of the week when I have a flair up and he gets me right in and moving again. Now, I’m also seeing Dr Abby for chiropractor along with Isaac for a total adjustment. Definitely highly recommended

Neck and upper back pain. Pain and loss of strength and mobility in left knee. Also, swelling in my lower legs. Got laser treatments in addition to trigger point injections. Treatments worked great. The first treatment with the laser had a delayed reaction. More noticeable results the next day. But WOW! You should definitely try the laser. The trigger point injects always work quickly.

After two years of chronic sinus and ear infections, and after seeing a number of specialists, Dr. Mari is the only provider who came up with a plan to finally alleviate and solve my symptoms. In addition, with Dr. Mari’s guidance and encouragement, I was finally able to eliminate dairy and sugar from my diet! Within 5 weeks I had shed 18 lbs., with no additional exercise or intervention! And I have kept the weight off! (Yes, I know, cheese is soooo good, but you can find some good alternatives, and still also cheat a little now and again)!

I can’t recommend Maine CHI highly enough for acupuncture. From the very first visit, it was clear how knowledgeable and thoughtful Isaac is in his approach. He takes the time to really listen and understand what’s going on, checks in throughout the session, and explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. Thanks to Isaac, my back and shoulder pain have improved significantly!

After feeling run down, poor sleep, increased anxiety, brain fog and low energy for months, and most terrifying, I was having runs of Afib and frequent palpitations that made me nervous enough to start taking aspirin daily. I finally had some labs run to discover my ferritin was 6 and I was well on my way to being anemic. The Dr I was seeing wasn’t supposed to go over my labs for another 6 weeks but I knew I needed to get my iron in check before then.
I called Maine Comprehensive Health Institute and Dr Mari got me in for an iron infusion within a week.
The facility is absolutely beautiful, the chairs in the IV treatment room are heated, have massage, recline…I couldn’t have been more comfortable. Dr Mari reviewed my labs and suggested I do two Iron infusions. My ferritin is now 60, I’m back running again. My brain fog is gone, my hormones feel regulated and anxiety is manageable. And my heart arrhythmias are GONE!
I feel like new person, like I got my life back, I wake up ready for the day instead of in a constant state of fatigue.
100000000/ 5 stars.

Love this place! Everyone is awesome! Abby and Issac are very skilled, and my family and I always leave feeling great.

I learned about Dr. Mari and her practice from a friend who encouraged me to reach out. I had suffered from chronic insomnia for decades. Over the years, I sought help from other medical providers who all made the same suggestions: “try Melatonin, do not look at your screen at night, or even worse, I can prescribe you a sleep aid if you would like to try that.” None of their medical advice addressed my underlining questioning – “why am I not sleeping”? I wanted to understand why, not what medication I could take to make me sleep. I understood the importance of sleep for overall health, especially as I am getting older, and how a lack of sleep was affecting so many aspects of my health – including weight gain. I was on a mission, and Dr. Mari was the key to my success. Dr. Mari takes a different approach in her quest to find solutions for her patients. She spent quality time with me addressing my concerns, understanding my history, and genuinely appreciated my desire to find a natural solution versus taking medication. She advised me on the necessity of doing bloodwork to fully understand what was going on inside my body. From the test results, I learned that I am highly gluten intolerant, and this was wreaking havoc on my body. She counseled me on how to make necessary adjustments and offered natural supplements to address other minor adjustments needed based on levels shown in my bloodwork. With this new revelation, I was ready to make necessary changes. To jumpstart my new health journey, I completed Dr. Mari’s Green Reboot program. Completing this program was amazing as it totally reset both my mind and body in a whole new direction. It was intense but so worth the effort. Not only did it flush my system, but it was also the perfect jumpstart to my new healthy eating and mindset. Under Dr. Mari’s care, my sleep patterns dramatically changed within a few short weeks. I now sleep 7-9 hours each night, have lost 12 months and feel incredibly happy and healthy. I feel rested and regenerated for the first time in an exceptionally long time. It is truly an amazing transformation for me. I had no idea how my sleep deprivation was impacting my life. I am continuing to seek Dr. Mari’s consultation to help me move into my next stage of my life with the healthiest approach I can. As a woman in my sixties, I am learning how to eat healthier, pay attention to what skincare and makeup ups I put on my body, and the importance of reading labels on products. There are so many toxic products on the market linked to alarming diseases and medical issues. After fully understanding this, I made the conscience decision to ditch all my toxic skincare products, and I replaced them with natural organic products. I honestly believe these changes in my diet and skincare routines will contribute to a healthier me as I age. I highly recommend Dr. Mari to anyone who wants to improve their health and address issues in a natural, holistic manner. It is never too late to explore options to improve your overall health. I am fully embracing the notion of investing in myself and allowing myself the freedom to choose a healthier way of living and pay attention to what goes into and on my body. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Mari’s wisdom and wonderful care – and am fully embracing, feeling rested and rejuvenated. Thank you, Dr. Mari.

Today marks visit number 5 and 3 weeks without a headache!!! I could not recommend a better place!!! Thank you CMHI!!!

The entire experience, from the moment I walked in, was fantastic. The staff was friendly and efficient, and Dr Mari was not only knowledgeable but also took the time to address all my questions and concerns. I left the clinic feeling confident in the care I received. “I can't thank you enough for the special, excellent care you have provided and for the unique gift you are to your patients.” “I am blessed that you are my doc! I have great confidence in you and your abilities” “Thank you so much for the great care" Missy

I have been a patient at Maine CHI for a few years, I absolutely love all of the people who work here, and appreciate how much they care about me and my health.

Haley Lapiene is one of the newest members of the team at MECHI. She has a technique that has helped to rebuild my range of motion and relieve me of some of the most chronic pain a human is expected to withstand. Her Massage coupled with Accupuncture and e-stem Accupuncture helps me function for two weeks at a time.

Everyone who works at Maine Comprehensive Health Institute have special gifts, that are felt immediately upon entering through the doors.

It is so nice to have a provider that actually provides comprehensive health instead of pills.

The MaineCHI office is clean, professional, and a calming place to be. The staff are excellent. I had my first acupuncture appointment with Dr. Issac and he made it very comfortable. I was nervous about having needles in me and now I can't wait to go back. If you've been nervous to try it, wanting to try it and haven't or, if you are looking for a new place, go see Dr. Issac. I'm so happy to have found a holistic practice that takes insurance and offers so many services. In addition to acupuncture I'll be seen for PT as well!
