The "predator" review is spot on. I took a chance on this doctor in desperation to address extreme anxiety. I knew it was an "off-the-board" kind of treatment, but decided to give it a try. My exasperation with the "official" medical establishment is one factor that led me here. TL;DR: turns out it's basically homeopathy, meaning lame, unconvincing sleight (and I mean VERY sleight) of hand combined with meaningless psychobabble. Along with two assistants, she went through a procedure that is supposed to find all the bad stuff your body has problems with: She has you hold your arm up and resist her pushing on it, while putting pressure on some part of the body or resting a bottle of some substance on your stomach. When something is "good," you "successfully" resist her pushing. When it's "bad", she waggles your arm back and forth too quickly for you to adjust and push back and says "that organ is weak." It's kind of like you're a human Ouija board, LOL. She kept asking if I understood if I "got it" how one thing was strong and one was weak based on this, and I said, "uh, not really, it just seems like you're changing how periodically you push and pull." She testily said "NO. If you don't get this, we can't continue." (and of course the payment has already cleared the bank) After a few minutes of this, I'm thinking "This is nonsense." I figured I would be polite and wait til they were done and then just never come back. I occasionally asked clarifying questions, and she seemed to think her answers had some kind of logic to them, but nothing she said made any sense. At over an hour in, it was getting difficult to not roll my eyes. She went through the same routine with the bottles of vitamins I brought with me. Presses bottle to my chest, waggles my arm. "Bad." Another bottle. Waggle. "Bad bad." She read the ingredients of my Vitamin C & Zinc bottle, telling me how bad it is, and then suggested I "give this to someone you hate." :o That's what you call "professional." Then she pulled out some "gene chart" that any layperson isn't going to know up from down, throws out some impressive terminology, and said we need to test my genes. It will take from 15m to an hour. "ANOTHER HOUR?" I said. "Well, only if your genes have problems." I am not a rude person, and do not like confrontation, but at that point I abruptly sat up and said "I need to go." I got up and went to put my shoes on and collect my belongings from the table near the door. "But, we're not--" I told her this was absolute BULLSHIT and walked out. The three of them stood there with mouths agape as if this has NEVER happened before. This is "health care" for the hard of thinking. The old phrase pops to mind: "Be open-minded, but not SO open-minded that your brains fall out." (LOL to the 4-star reviewer who seems to think they are being overly critical) read more

It is not often I feel compelled to write a review, however, Dr Medwar and her team deserve this! First off, I am a registered nurse and believe in western medicine because that is what I was taught. I thought eastern medicine was mmmm a hoax! My daughter and son in law gave my husband and I the gift of life when they gave us gift cards for the initial 3 visits for evaluation. I decided to go in with an open mind. Not going to lie, my husband and I were a bit skeptical during the evaluation phase but decided to follow through because it was already paid for and we felt we had nothing to lose. We are both overweight and in an unhealthy state at present. My husband's diabetes was out of control. In just four short weeks we have both lost 15-20#'s! My husband's diabetes blood sugar has gone from 250-350 on massive doses of insulin down to 80-130 on less than 1/3 of the insulin he was taking! I use to nap on my days off just to get through the day. I am now sleeping less overnight and no longer taking naps! My energy level is that of a younger woman. I cringed a little with the price of the supplements but they do last for the initial "detox" period. So, you can either pay for prescriptions to treat bad health, or you can get in her program and pay for great health and wellness! Thank you Dr Medwar and team for setting my husband and I on the right path. Life is good again! To the nay sayers and the ones who wrote the bad reviews, did you go in with an open mind? Did you let Dr Medwar complete her evaluation? Did you try her program? If you haven't then you should. In just 3-4 weeks my husband and I both started to feel great. Bullshit this is not! read more

"Doctor" Medwar is a predator. Despite the mostly good reviews, the experience I had with her was of one with a charlatan, someone who tries to scare you into complicity when you are at your most vulnerable. I came to see her about general fertility questions, a private and scary topic. She started running tests, explaining nothing about her methodology or the yielding results, other than one quickly printed out graph with no labels on the axes. Her excuse was that I was late for my appointment (I was 3 minutes late and waited in her waiting room for an additional 15 minutes until the front desk staff stopped chit chatting). I had written out my entire history in my carefully prepared paperwork, including the treatment I was receiving through my actual MD doctor. She didn't read it, so she acted shocked when I mentioned it near the end of our appointment. She abruptly stopped what she was doing and said she couldn't treat me if I was working with my regular doctor, and that if I didn't cancel the treatment with him that was starting the next day and work with her (pay for appointments and the multitude of supplements that I could only purchase directly through her), I would MISCARRY. Yes, you heard me correctly. She threatened me with a MISCARRIAGE. And added the caveat that she also couldn't guarantee anything after the 4-6 months of treatment that she was recommending I do with her. I left in tears. I'd paid for a 3-pack of sessions, so I hesitantly returned for a second round of testing. For the record, the "testing" is her having me put a finger on different vials of vitamins, foods, and minerals and then bouncing my other arm up and down to see if that thing is a "problem" area for me. The thing is, all my regular doctors can explain the purpose of everything they're doing in a very clear and understandable way. She couldn't. She knew I was unhappy after the first session, so I felt that she and her assistant were going out of their way this time to tell me how "amazing" everything was. I watched her ask her assistant about some of my test results from the first session, and then magically the test results from the second session aligned with those! What a coincidence! By the time I came for my "results" in the third session, "Doctor" Medwar had completely checked out. I don't know if she knew that she'd screwed up this relationship or if she saw that there were no dollar signs in the future for her coming from my direction. She was short, dismissive, and despite the fact that we had plenty of time left in the appointment, she abruptly cut me off when I had a brief, unrelated question and told me I could book another appointment if I had more questions. The experience was one of the worst in my life. I think that "Doctor" Medwar builds her business on scaring uneducated patients into compliance and spending lots of dollars. She shuts down in the face of patients who have legitimate questions about her witch doctor methods - because she has no answers. For the record, I got pregnant happily and safely a few months later without her or anybody else's help. Glad I didn't delay this joy and fill my body with her nameless pills. read more

After a couple of months working with Dr. Medwar I can say that my health has taken complete 180 turn for the better. I went from being in pain every morning when I wake up, to actually being okay with doing yoga again! She worked on my plantar fasciitis, and is advising me on good orthotics for my lifestyle. I haven't mentioned my NRT yet, which is a fantastic addition to my wellness journey. I'm amazed when we do the NRT visits and how well my body is responding to the supplements we are working with. I'm a fan of Dr. Medwar and here staff, their commitment to assisting me in all of my wellness needs is unlike any other practitioner's office I've been to. I was so thankful to find someone local that practices the holistic approach I have been searching for, for quite some time. read more

I originally was sent to Mary by my primary care doc because I had facial rashes that caused me to be on and off prednisone for months. The dermatologist, allergist, and my primary tried test after test for over a year with no luck. I was beyond frustrated and uncomfortable constantly from rash after rash on my face. 8 months of going to see Mary and I've been rash free for months. She helped me detox and taught me a lifestyle that has helped me in countless ways. From nightmares to acne she has helped it all! You will not regret a visit. read more

Dr. Mary Medwar is an awesome chiropractor. I started seeing Dr. Medwar in March of 2019 after a thorough and a meticulous examination. I have been complaining about my back pain for about 20 years. I had tried physical therapy many times but the pain kept coming back so I gave up on physical therapy and I decided to try other avenues. Chiropractor care was the alternative that worked best for me. The chiropractor care I have been having with Dr. Medwar made a turning point in my life for the better. At the beginning of the treatment, I was having those adjustments sessions 3 times a week and the relief I felt was indescribable, I wish I had seen her and knew about her practice a long time ago. Now, I barely feel the pain and my posture has gotten much better. At the end of each chiropractor session with Dr. Medwar, I feel rejuvenated. Now I am seeing once a month only. I strongly recommend Dr. Medwar care. Her staff are kind and professional. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Medwar for about 6 months now and I have never felt better on so many levels....my headaches are gone, heartburn gone, I sleep so well, I'm off all my prescription medications and I have energy. The entire experience has been truly enlightening. I recently contracted COVID and Dr. Medwar FaceTimed me, prescribed supplements and later personally dropped them off at my house!!!! Who does that?! The staff at the office is also wonderful. read more

I've been doing NRT with Dr. Medwar since the end of January. I'm excited to say that I'm off my allergy medicine that I had been on since childhood, stopped my reflux medicine and my topical medicine for rosacea. I have more energy, no more brain fog, clearer skin and I'm sleeping better. That's saying a lot. I've had insomnia since the age of 5. I'm newer to the chiropractic side, but my posture is better, I no longer have a hump and I'm having less pain. Another bonus - I feel taller. J.H. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Medwar for the past 10 years and in my opinion, she is an excellent holistic doctor. I originally saw her for chiropractic treatments. Physical therapy and exercises were only making my back issues worse. After a thorough exam, which included x-rays, I learned that I have moderate/severe scoliosis which affects my back and hip alignment, gait, and overall health. Although my scoliosis cannot be reversed, ongoing chiropractic treatments and targeted exercises help me to keep my hip/spine as aligned as possible. Shortly after I began chiropractic, I added Nutritional Response testing as I was suffering from GERD, fatigue, and other issues. Detoxing and committing to the NRT program addressed and continues to address health issues that come up. It is an ongoing process. Many times, I find myself researching valid sources online about health topics that are affecting me and formulating questions. Whenever I have health related questions, I just ask, and always receive an honest, knowledgeable, and straightforward answer....always. Through chiropractic and NRT, I have learned a great deal about taking care of my holistic (whole body) health. Dr. Medwar believes in working with traditional medicine, not against it. When I need to have traditional medicine intervene, she advises me to do so. The practice is growing and sometimes busy, but anytime I have a question or concern, the staff has been more than helpful. My entire family has been seeing her for years as well for chiropractic and NRT. Thank you to Dr. Medwar and staff for doing what you do! read more

I have just started nrt with Dr. Mary Medwar and I am so excited to finally be on the right path to clearing my body of candida, heavy metal toxicity, food allergies, pituitary gland and thyroid issues, and scar blockages. I have been doing so much research and have read many stories of how this therapy heals people. I am looking forward to finally being able to heal my extremely sick body. It's discouraging when you look healthy and beautiful on the outside and no one believes how sick you really are and I finally feel like I have someone who not only can test and detect why I'm so sick but to cure me so I can feel healthy again! Thank you Dr Medwar! read more

Been going to Mary for the last 15 years for maintenance adjustments. She is an instrument of God! Just so happens my golf swing is the best right after an adjustment. My wife starting going due to numbness and within a week was cured! If you have any ache or pain, don't suffer any longer, See Mary! Mary is part of my life's story for great things she's done for me and my family! read more

After being treated at a fertility clinic for over a year with out any results , my wife decided to see Dr. Medwar. Within 6 months after being treated by Dr. Medwar she became pregnant. We now have the most beautiful, healthy 1 year old daughter. Now the whole family sees Dr. Medwar . Thank you Dr. and your whole wonderful staff. read more

My dear friend recommended Dr. Medwar and NRT years ago, but I was not living in MA at the time and was skeptical. After many IVF attempts for a second child and 2 miscarriages I knew I had to get healthy. I was suffering from intense migraines, not sleeping well and generally lethargic - I did not feel like my best self. After a 6 month detox and dedication to following a plan designed by Dr. Medwar which included strict diet based on my body's needs to cleanse and rebuild and supplements to help heal my body I felt incredible! Yes it cost $ for supplements and appointments etc but it's worth every cent because I felt SO much more awake, energetic I stopped having migraines and I felt healthy again. I lost bloated weight and my skin was so clear. I tried naturally to get pregnant for a few months and the decided to go through IVF again now that I was healthy and strong and rested. It was a SUCCESS! I had a fabulous pregnancy and quick easy birth and now a beautiful healthy baby girl! I am so grateful and thankful for Dr. Medwars chiropractic and NRT treatments and have recommended her services to anyone looking to get healthy and 5 people have already gone and felt the results! read more

Mary Medwar, DC - Healthy, strong kids! - Chiropractors Near Me - Woburn, Massachusetts

During the quarantine months I pulled my back doing an at home workout and the pain was so severe I couldn't sleep, walk or even sit in a chair. When physical therapy didn't offer any relief I turned to Mary Medwar and her practice was able to get me back to 100% health without surgery or medicine. I'm back in the gym and able live life normally again, which I didn't think was possible a few months ago. She even corrected my posture which has improved my golf game! I'm recommending her to all family and friends seeking help with back problems or discomfort. read more

Dr.Medwar is amazing. I have degenerative disc disease in my neck and after months and months of physical therapy with little results, Dr. Medwar made me feel like my old self again. After a few months of seeing her, I decided to try her NRT and once again she helped. I can sleep again after years and years of insomnia and rounds of sleeping pills. My hair and nails are healthier, no more gas and bloating and 10 pounds lighter was an added bonus. Now I have just started to work with her to stop taking my type 2 diabetes medicine! read more

I feel compelled to update my review since January of this year. I've been a patient of Dr. Medwar for many years, both for chiropractic and NRT, only now I work for her as well. I've highly recommended her to many people based on my own experiences but now that I see the true magic happening each and every day, I now know for sure that the bridge to fill the gap that exists, between Eastern and Western medicine, truly does exist. Anyone struggling with finding answers to their health and wellness issues, tired of simply treating symptoms and seeking to restore their health, can achieve this with the help and guidance of Dr. Medwar. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Mary Medwar since late 2010. I was discouraged that physical therapy and exercises were not helping my sciatica and sacroiliac issues, so I asked my friend about Dr. Mary Medwar. With my stretches and monthly adjustment, my back/hip issues are resolved. However, it's for the NRT, Nutritional Response Testing and therapy that I principally see Dr. Medwar. You see, up until the age of 65, I thought I had to just live with chronic sinus migraines and bladder pain. I would self medicate with OTC decongestants that didn't work and treat what I thought were urinary tract infections with antibiotics. Only Dr. Medwar, using applied kinesiology, was able to diagnose both gluten and dairy sensitivities and certain toxins that made for a life of chronic pain. Dr. Mary saved my life. Under her care, I made some lifestyle changes and take a few supplements that really work! I owe my good health to Dr. Mary Medwar. Would recommend her to everyone who wants to get well!!! Donna Segreti Reilly Winthrop, MA read more

Dr. Medwar is an amazing Doctor. I was sick for years with many things. She found the root cause and now I feel amazing. She healed my back issue I have had for years. I would pull my back out every other month. I seen many chiropractors but she knew why I wasn't getting better. I am so very grateful for all her time and knowledge. I have my Energy back and my health. I can now live every day feeling awesome. Love and blessings. If your in a circle and don't know where to go.. Please see her, she knows her way to your health!!! Love and Blessings Darlene read more

Dr Medwar is good. Why 4 stars? For jamming clients in one day. Every time I go, she is in such a rush that makes me feel leave her office feeling stressed. And if you have been her client, you will know what I mean. She is a great doctor, but sometimes I feel like she cares more about increasing the numbers in her book. Why 4 stars? Nasty front staff Suzanne. mainly because of her, Dr. Medwar will lose good number of clients if she doesn't change her attitude. I hope that changes, and also what is most crucial for every office is"know your patient." Dr Medwar can't seem to remember her patients maybe due to overload of patients in her office. Few times she talked to me like she was seeing me first time and called me a stranger even though she saw me a week before! Overall, she is amazing and I hope all this above doesn't take away from her practice. read more

Dr. Medwar. I want to reply to your review to set the record straight for future patients. I did not ask for gratis visits; I only asked to purchase the "same" supplements you recommended me to take from my nephew who is a doctor in OH to try to save some money as YOU mark up your supplements 100% from your cost. I requested a modified treatment plan because I did not want to take over 30 pills a day that you recommended because of past experience. You NEVER replied to my email or several messages I left for you to discuss treatment. Therefore, I never received a referral from you. Please do not lie. I have not heard or seen you since my first visit with you in August. Once you learned that I wanted to purchase supplements that you recommended from my nephew, I never heard from you again. You ought to be ashamed of yourself given the fact that you were fully aware of my previous experience. You ABANDONED me as a patient for the sake of money! read more

Mary has helped a few people in my family, so i began to see her in December for chronic fatigue/ Lyme in her NRT program. After less than a month of treatment I'm starting to see improvement in many of my symptoms including cognitive stamina & ability to focus. Mary is a true healer and I would recommend her to anyone who takes their health seriously. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Medwar on/off for several years. I had fallen off the Chiropractic wagon and finally came back. She knows what she's doing and also has a keen understanding of the nutrition part of it as well. I started suffering from carpel tunnel and she's been working to get that back into alignment. Have had significant improvement. I went to her just before Thanksgiving with incredible headaches. After one adjustment, the headaches went away. Now we're working on maintenance and I'm hoping to be down to 1 visit a month by early next year. read more

Dr. Medwar is one of the top holistic healers in the country. She is a genius. I don't use chiropractor services just Nutrition Response Therapy which is probably necessary for everyone these days since the US food supply is full of junk. We all need nutrients to be healthy. Dr. Mary has the roadmap. Just go! Everyone deserves to feel healthy and she will give it to you straight! I love Mary she's in the department of the future. Thank you so much Mary and also to her staff!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Medwar. I started seeing her for Nutritional Response Testing (NRT) in the summer of 2018. I had been very sick for a few years at that point and had literally traveled the world to get better. Prior to summer 2018, I went to Germany for cavitation surgery, Seattle, WA to work with a Klinghardt Naturopath (who had recommended I go to Germany for cavitation surgery), I had also gone to healing services in other states. I was truly at a bottom that I cannot describe, only if you had been there would you understand and I would *never* wish it on anyone. Travelling to Seattle and Germany had significant good impacts on my health and I would highly recommend anyone who is chronically ill with "mysterious" issues investigate dental issues (cavitations, decaying "composite" fillings, safe amalgam removal) as a major culprit. Note Dr. Medwar both understands, identifies and refers out for dental health issues as a major impact on well being, I just happened to "find" her after I had done half of the dental work needed. She worked with me (referred out) on final "clean up" of old composite fillings that were seriously negatively impacting my health. *** Make sure to have the proper detox support going prior to any dental work ***, so important! When I arrived at her office through what I can only describe as a miracle given to me by Jesus, I was still very sick. The work with the Klinghardt practioner had hit its "natural" end. Dr. Medwar logically brought me through testing for numerous issues from metals, bacteria, viruses, mold (I had been diagnosed with mold illness as well prior to this) to MTHFR (I had been diagnosed with MTHFR deficiencies as well prior). She discovered numerous issues include MTHFR issues, metals, fungus etc... Over the course of the next few months my health increasingly became better. Some things were overnight, such as energy returning when the right methylation supplements were in me and other things took longer. I also had to get more dental work done to get bio-compatible fillings put in where old composites had both failed and were not compatible. One year later I am in a completely different place, Dr. Medwar saved my life. Am I still recovering? Yes, but I am in a completely different place since 12 months ago. On top of this, I have 3 out of 3 of my children seeing Dr. Medwar for NRT and chiropractic. 2/3 have suffered with auto-immune disorders, anxiety, OCD etc... and we are amazed at how well they are doing in a short amount of time, particularly with the proper methylation support and dietary corrections (sensitivities to corn, soy, gluten etc...) The great thing is that each program is unique to the individual, there is no "cookie cutter" approach in the NRT methodology or how Dr. Medwar approaches healthcare. On the soft side all I can say is positive about Dr. Medwar and her staff, Sheila, Wendy and Susan, they are all extremely caring and loving. They are special people to be able to help people who are recovering from numerous illnesses. I've entrusted my health and my children's health into their hands. Is it a straight path? No, there are hills and valleys. For me it took decades to end up where I did and it takes a while to recover. For my kids it is quicker. You have to be realistic and (this was hard for me until I hit bottom), *trust*. You also have to be diligent in following her recommendations, her plans are particularly crafted week by week, month by month based on what your body tells her what it needs (drainage, detox, support etc...). You can't take a salad bar approach, "I'll have this but not that", it is a wholistic, ever changing plan, just like your body, mind and life itself. I cannot highly recommend Dr Medwar enough, I wish you good health and prosperity, in Jesus's healing name. read more

I have been seeing Dr Medwar for over 5 years now. I am no longer on blood pressure meds and we have gotten to the root cause of PCOS. I recently started methylation process, and have never felt better. I have more energy, I get compliments that I look 10 years younger and the weight is falling off. I recommend everyone I know to Dr. Medwar. She has truly been integral in my health journey. read more

After years of lower back pain and burning, sciatica in both legs, neck and shoulder pain and night leg cramps I finally broke down and went to a chiropractor and thank god it was Doctor Medwar. I feel alive again and I'm thrilled to death! This past year I was thinking I had Arthritis or even worse Parkinson's because I had just started with leg tremors. I was literally falling apart at age 57. Because I am feeling better physically but still continuing with my appointments, I have also signed up for Whole Heath & Wellness Appts (NRT). I haven't felt this good in a long, long time and I'm really hoping I can stop my depression medication with the NRT. Thank you Dr Medwar, you really know how to make a person well again. I'm sorry I didn't look into her years ago. So if you're tired of your aches and pains, go see her. Like me, you'll never regret it. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Mary Medwar's since 2012. To me, she is absolutely the best chiropractor and is incredibly knowledgeable about holistic medicine. Initially as a chiropractic patient she was able to correctly identify the severity of my scoliosis via a complete set of x-rays at a time when other chiropractors and physical therapists were guessing and unable to determine or relieve my increasing pain and discomfort. The pain was bordering on debilitating. Dr. Medwar has been the person to offer targeted adjustments and exercises that have helped me to find a greater level of comfort. Although my condition cannot be reversed, periodic adjustments have offered me an improved quality of life. After several chiropractic visits I began a Nutritional Response Therapy (NRT) program which helped me to detox and improve my health from the inside out. NRT is designed to help every individual find a program of food-based supplements that works within their body based on the results of their individual scans. For me, gluten and toxins were major culprits accounting for many adverse health issues during my life. Although I had seen great improvements I was still having issues with thinning hair and energy. I recently started the Methylation program in addition to NRT which is helping me to see that a fuller head of hair and increased energy is possible. These programs along with healthy lifestyle changes such as using environmentally friendly products, eating organic, exercise and for me staying away from gluten has enabled me to eliminate my migraine and digestive issues. Eventually, my husband and children became patients of both chiropractic and NRT/Methylation. We all enjoy better health. In addition, Dr. Medwar stresses an ongoing partnership between patient, traditional physician and chiropractor/holistic physician as a necessary part of overall health. Overall, for me and my family our experience with Dr. Medwar is terrific. We always recommend her to family and friends because feeling well and being healthy is something that we should all strive for. JoAnna F. read more

Dr. Medwar is the best chiropractor I have ever been to. She does the best adjustments, even my arm when I didn't realize my elbow was out of sync. It felt so much better. After a month on the NRT (Nutritional Response Testing) program, my mild depression disappeared. Apparently it was the due to the lack of essential nutrients in my diet. Dr. Medwar explains everything and answers all questions. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. read more

The best thing to happen to my daughter and I was to find Dr. Medwar. My teen daughter had the ugliest dark spots in her body, they looked like scaly skin. She used to have very low self-esteem and would not wear a bathing suit. We have visited many different dermatologists and we even went back home to the Dominican Republic to see other doctors but despite all the medications and different creams, nothing worked. Within six weeks of visiting Dr. Medwar, everyone in the family noticed the difference on my daughter skin. Now, my daughter is clear of all the dark spots and has the nicest latina skin color. She can't wait to wear bathing suit this summer with no cover-up. Thank YOU so much Dr. Medwar! read more

I have been going to various chiropractors over the years and Dr Medwar is the first one who only adjusts what needs to be adjusted. Other chiropractors run through the same series of adjustments regardless. She feels everything to see what is "out of wack" and only adjusts those areas. She is also very knowledgeable and personable and has just introduced me to NRT. The ladies in the office are also very warm and welcoming read more

Dr. Medwar is the essence of what every Dr. should be. She not only treats the body has a whole, but also educates her patients about true holistic health. I started seeing Dr. Medwar in May 2016 and since then I have lost over thirty pounds and all of the symptoms I was experiencing (which I now know were candida related) are gone. More than anything, working with Dr. Medwar has given me peace of mind and reassurance that I (literally) need to always listen to my gut. The results are there if you stick with the program that Dr. Medwar maps out for you. read more
