I have had my pain Level drops since I have had Acupuncture. Mary is kind and helpful. The office staff is helpful with the check in process as well. read more

Dr. Tobin is absolutely amazing. I have been going to her for years. Staff is very nice and compassionate. I would recommend to anyone. The holistic care I receive there is a 10 out of 10. Thank you Dr. Tobin. read more

Went in for $59 coupon consult but all it included were questions about health history. You had to come back in order to get the comprehensive consult for $400+ dollars. I haven't gone back because I gave them a record of general blood tests done within one week by HMo and wanted to see what they might suggest for osteoarthritis if hands beside the typical NSAIds heat and cold treatment. I don't know if I can learn more if I came back. read more

When you visit a new Dr. and she is ready to heal you, and spends close to 2 hours on testing and asking all the right questions to truly determine the underlying issues in your body, there is no better place to turn. Healing and stress free living is the only way to live a truly happy life. I am both happy and grateful for Dr. Tobin. read more

After having the trunk of my car fall with full force on my head 5 years ago and, having a mild stroke last year, I healed very quickly. With nutritional support and acupuncture treatments, I continued working with coaching clients and walking 3 miles several times a week. In only 3 weeks, my face returned to normal. In only 3 months, my energy, clarity, and focus expanded ten-fold!! I am so GRATEFUL to Dr. Mary Tobin's brilliant work! It was a big "Wow" moment for me when I realized I didn't stop working while I was healing. And my clients continued expanding their businesses while having a life that they love. I am grateful. read more

Tobin Holistic Medicine - Acupuncture Near Me - Brea, California

I can't begin to express how Dr. Tobin's work has impacted my life for the better. She truly is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to anything health related and is passionate about serving through Holistic Care. I have taken her custom line of supplements with great results, gotten incredible relief from her holistic treatments, and experienced a personal breakthrough from the use of EVOX (Perception Reframing Therapy). While I could go on forever on each, I'd like to really highlight how amazing EVOX is. As someone who's struggled with mental health and has tried just about it all, I tried EVOX to try to get to the root of some of the subconscious beliefs that have hindered personal progress. After hearing story after story from various patients, I figured I had nothing to lose but to give it a shot. And wow, I am so happy I did! Just after one session, I am feeling IMMENSELY better and am not defaulting to the same habits or ways of thinking. There really was a SHIFT! I am doing and feeling better now than I ever had on prescribed medication, etc . I will continue to do work towards a healthy future - the HOLISTIC WAY with Dr. Tobin. read more

I had a back issue that was driving me crazy crazy. I have kaiser insurance and went there to see what they could do but if you know hospitals there are lots of steps you have to go through in order to get what you want for example X-ray or MRI. So when I knew I was going to have to jump through hoops and pay for multiple doctor copays I decided I was going to try acupuncture. I had zero expectations and didn't really know what it was. I went in and visited with Dr. Tobin and she treated my back with acupuncture and the low light laser. I did two sessions and it worked. It's been at least 6 months with no relapse. I have been referring other people over to. If you are unsure about it I would try it. It's a lot safer than pain medicine which can have long term effects or addiction. read more

Love Dr Tobin! She knows how to help, understands the situation and has the supplements on hand to take care of my needs! Her acupuncture always helps me sooo much! read more

For all the good reviews, I have had an awful experience. I was confirmed that our insurance would cover our sessions, and would reimburse us. Yet every time we tried to get reimbursed they would make excuses and stall. Eventually we discovered they lied about coverage, and had never even filed for our insurance. Not only did we pay out of pocket against contract, the supplements that Mary so forcefully made me take eventually made me sick. They didn't even suggest the supplements; they coerce and force you to pay up front for it. The methods she used to prescribe were utter unorthodox and had no actual stake in medical science, which is probably why I felt worse than when I went in. So unless you like being scammed, reeled in, and fooled into alternative medicine that could do more harm than good, avoid this place. read more

Dr. Tobin is an amazingly knowledgeable, intuitive, and gifted holistic healer. Not only is she an incredible acupuncturist, she has many healing tools and techniques to treat your body from head to toe. I have had multiple concussions, and doctors have thrown their hands up and told me they don't even know what to expect with that many head injuries. Dr. Tobin uses a combination of acupuncture and low light laser therapy, and it has had the most calming effect on my head and brain...something I have never felt from any treatments received by anyone before. It is as if my brain is being reset to a time before I had the concussions and is being restored to being part of my body...pain free, calm, and firing on all cylinders! If you have had concussions and have been misunderstood and/or turned away from medical professionals, don't give up. There is hope, there is Dr. Tobin. THANK YOU DR. TOBIN! read more

I have known Dr. Tobin for over 9 years and she is without question the best acupuncturist I have ever been to (and I have been to many others). No matter what ailment I go in to see her about, I feel 100% better in one visit! In fact, her technique is so unique that during my treatment, I literally pass out. I get the best nap ever when I visit her and this doesn't happen with other acupuncturists. Dr. Tobin is kind and truly cares about her patients. I really can't say enough about how awesome she is - if you are questioning whether acupuncture will help you or if you're nervous about the treatment, go see Dr. Tobin. You won't regret it. I also want to give a "shout out" to Dr. Tobin's massage therapist, Deborah (I hope I spelled her name correctly)... I just met Deborah last week and my massage was incredible. Deborah has an awesome energy about her - I felt comfortable and relaxed for the first time during a massage!! When Dr. Tobin told me she was fantastic she wasn't lying... best massage I've ever had!! I'm not getting paid to write these reviews - the entire staff at Tobin Acupuncture is exceptional!! read more

I started getting acupuncture by Dr. Tobin about a month ago for back pain and immediately felt results and have been continuing to go on a weekly basis. Yesterday morning I called her to see if she could see me ASAP because I was having flu like symptoms and to my delight she said I could come during her lunch time. She did acupuncture and light laser therapy on me and I felt relief instantly. I definitely recommend her to anyone who is struggling with any type of medical issue. read more

I think that Dr. Tobin is a miracle worker. I am a huge advocate of natural healing and eastern medicine ... my husband has been loyal to his HMO, but has always struggled with his doctors to find the root of his health concerns. For years, they have been treating symptoms with drugs and procedures, and not making much progress. About a month ago, Dear Husband became ill. He gave it time, rest, over-the-counter medicine and his symptoms only grew worse. He finally went to a same-day appointment at his well-known-often-disliked-shall-remain-nameless HMO facility, where they ran tests (poorly), had symptoms overlooked (alarmingly), was wrongly diagnosed twice (not a surprise), and given medication that made him feel worse. He literally thought he was slowly dying. It was as if his digestive system was just giving up and throwing in the towel. A friend referred us to Dr. Tobin, and with the blessing of my own personal holistic practitioner, DH finally decided that enough was enough and he needed to try something different. Dr. Tobin was so accommodating, and was able to see us on short notice (not like your regular doctor ...). And after one visit (ONE VISIT), DH was already feeling 50% better. The following day, we were both in utter shock. Mind Blown. I will spare the details, but I will bore you with one example: DH's urine had been brown (as in, Holy-Smokes-this-is-desperately-concerning-pee-should-never-be-this-color Brown) for about a month. Pretty much everyone knows that if your pee is the color of Newcastle, then you should seek medical attention stat, but this was continually glossed over while at his GP's office, multiple times (yes, while he was being mis-diagnosed). Within 24 hours of seeing Dr. Tobin, DH's urine was clear again. So in conclusion, not everyone is on board with holistic medicine, eastern medicine, or anything just non-traditional, and I understand that. But if you have an open mind, and you want to heal yourself from the inside out, and you value what nature can do for you (instead of the Big Pharma), and the power of the human mind and body--especially if you're getting super frustrated with your GP, I will recommend visiting Dr. Tobin. read more

I definitely recommend Dr Mary Tobin! She is a miracle worker. I had daily muscle pain up and down my back for months, doctors couldn't figure out why, luckily I was referred to Dr Tobin. So far, I have only done 2 acupuncture sessions, 2 lymphatic massages, and a few recommended supplements, and my pain is gone most days! The pain used to be there from 10am to bedtime, and I was getting low grade fevers daily, and headaches daily, as well as low energy. Fevers and headaches are gone completely, and energy is back at a 10. Her diagnostics were very in depth and right on for what I'm dealing with health wise. I'm excited to see how my body feels in a couple months! Do yourself a favor and go see her! read more

So, I have been recently (Feb 2015) got diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Of course, that is unfortunate but not the last thing that I would choose to get if I had to choose among diseases. HA. So its an auto immune disease, and I have lost exactly 50 lbs since I got diagnosed, because I am also allergic to Corn, Soy, Sesame, and a few other Main ingredients that are subbed out in foods that don't have gluten. Basically I eat like a Carnivorous Rabbit. LOL Needless to say, the years of testing and trying to figure out what is wrong with me I am completely over at this point. My mom goes to Dr Tobin and would rave to me about her. So my mom told the dr what has been going on with me and we agreed to meet. I went in and felt immediately like part of the family. Dr Tobin is Amazing. In the short couple hours I was there (compared to the 4 - 5 years of testing from all the other QUACKS) she figured out a majority of my issues. Who knew having low blood pressure is that bad...... So for the first time in YEARS......and YEARS I woke up this morning (2 days after seeing the Dr.) feeling AMAZING and not dry heaving when I woke up, or feel sick driving to work. I cant even explain how much of a miracle Dr Tobin work. I would recommend her services to anyone. I also had accupunture done, and for the first time ever by accupunture, my lower right hip/back pain went away by 80%. SERIOU read more

Don't go here unless you want to spend thousands of dollars and find no relief. I came to dr Tobin as a last resort because western medicine couldn't help me. I had symptoms of weight gain, burping, bloating, constipation, acid reflux and more and dr Tobin had me doing Accupuncture, foot detox's, and a massage bed. I paid over 4,000 for her services and she didn't even test me properly I can't even explain to my doctors what kind of testing I got because I don't even understand it. All she told me was that I had toxins in my body and lots of inflammation. I was basically put on a protocol that she gives to everyone it was not customized to my needs at all. It's now a year later and I feel worse then before I saw her and now I can't afford to see another practitioner because I spent my entire savings seeing her for 3 months. She had me doing keto and taking all these supplements to lose weight but never told me what the root cause was or test me for anything specific. Never did any blood work I still don't know what's wrong with me or causing these symptoms. Do research on other practitioners before you go see her. Also every time I would come I would have to wait at least 30 minutes - hour to see her even with an appointment. Complete waste of my time and so much money read more

Day 2 in attempt to contact the office to make appointment for Accupunture due to back pain. Business page states "open" but voicemail is full and unable to leave message. There is no other method to reach by email or office message. Its unfortunate. read more

Stay away from this place. I was seen by Dr. Tobin in 2015 and was told that my insurance would be billed. When I asked Dr.Tobin about it she said that she would have Rosie look into it and I never got a response back. It became evident that all Dr.Tobin cared about was profit. Try this supplement and try that supplement. Oh, and take this ridiculous test that will tell you what's going on with you, not to mention that it was really expensive.She never even went over the results with me. I went to go see her during one of the most vulnerable times in my life and I completely feel taken advantage of. I would not recommend Dr. Tobin unless you're super rich and don't care about the out of pocket expense. read more

I have had the best healing experience with Dr. Tobin. She is not only a very skilled acupuncturist, but also very patient and listens to your needs. Her light touch is painless. In all honesty when I first came to her clinic I didn't believe in acupuncture. I'm glad I gave it a try, as her healing practice has made my life much better. I suffer from serve anxiety and her acupuncture treatments have given me a normal life without prescription medicine. She is also a naturopath and combines both modalities to create a healing plan you can live with. I highly recommend her. Thank you Dr. Tobin! read more

Two years and I still go here for my booster treatments! And now she has a great New massage Therapist; Stephanie. She is so amazing! If you are looking for deep tissue or sports therapy she is the best I have ever had! But she also does lymphatic/cupping ect. I feel so spoiled :) read more

I have seeing Dr Tobin for the past 8 months and her very personable nature with treating my conditions has been very beneficial. Her office staff, Brenda is wonderful and helpful at all times. Even calling to check on me during a recent hospital stay. I recommend her to anyone that feels their western medicine doctors are not looking at other treatments. Also, Debrorah is an amazing masseuse. read more

I've known Mary for many years now and she helped my son when no other doctor could. My youngest son was about 15 at the time and he had recurring throat infections. I took him to 2 other doctors, one an ENT specialist suggesting surgery. Mary did a series of tests and determined the problem then gave us personalized supplements plus practical ways to treat at home. No problems since. Thank you Mary. This review was a long time coming. Recommend Dr.Tobin highly https://tobinholistichealth.com read more

Dr Tobin is fantastic Acupuncturist! She truly cares about her patients. I have seen her now for close to a year mostly for wellness visits one time a month. However there has been a few instances where I have gone in because I was feeling stressed and I left feeling incredibly calm and peaceful. She hit the "zonk" button. She has also helped my digestive tract and helped me detox using supplements and a foot soak. I highly recommend her! read more

Mary is highly trained in acupuncture and herbal medicine. I originally went to her because of a nagging cold that I couldn't shake and I wanted to avoid drugs. With one painless acupuncture treatment and some herbs the cold was cleared. On other occasions, Mary's acupuncture treatments and herbal remedies have given me relief from the pain and discomfort of an old injury. I would recommend Mary to anyone who is seeking an alternative to traditional medicine that really works. read more

Dr. Tobin has absolutely changed my life. In 2009 I was diagnosed with Lyme disease. It went undiagnosed for at least five years, and reeks havoc on my system, leading to a heart procedure, dysautonomia, and gallbladder removal. I had lost so much weight was so fatigued, I could no longer do my daily routine. It is been almost 2 years now that I have been seeing Dr. Tobin, and my life has completely changed. With the acupuncture treatments along with nutritional counseling and supplements, I'm able to do things I haven't been able to do in years. After almost 10 years, I was finally able to take my kids to Disneyland. I was able to keep my work commitments and not have to reschedule anything. I have had more energy and stamina to do things throughout the day without a 1 to 2 hour nap in between to get me through the day. I am able to go out to dinner without feeling like I can't make it through the meal without feeling sick or tired. I have increased my weight back to a healthy level. It is been a pleasure to see my children perform at school and in their sporting events whereas before I had missed several of them. What's most significant is that people are telling me I look better. I realize it takes a lot of discipline and patience, but it is an investment of time and a commitment to restore my health to be there for my wife and kids. Dr. Tobin has surely helped me along that path, and for that I am grateful. read more

Mary literally changed my life. I had been suffering from horrible, debilitating sciatica pain on and off for several years and finally had enough of doctors and therapists. After seeing Mary every week for 2 months, my back pain disappeared for good. It's been over a year now, and I just go back every month or so for maintenance. She has also helped me a lot with issues with lack of energy. read more

I saw Dr. Tobin last week and I was impressed with how much she helped me. I have scoliosis and two harrington rods surgically placed along my spine. Due to the rods, I have lifelong muscle tension all over my back. Lately, I've had tension headaches a lot and my whole back was in knots. I couldn't carry out my daily duties and I needed help right away. Dr. Tobin was very understanding and helpful. I did a nutrition test using a laser light to my hand which is AWESOME and I was graded a C- due to a lack of consumed healthy foods. This alone explains why I've been sluggish and my psoriasis is flaring up, so it was nice to know where I stood on the nutrition test. We did an acupuncture treatment all over my back. It was very relaxing. The needles are so gentle and Dr. Tobin is very quick and painless. After relaxing under the heat lamp I felt very refreshed. I couldn't believe how much my back had loosened up! Dr. Tobin was very informative about my issue with psoriasis and options I have. I'm tired of Western Medicine that only wants to issue drugs. Dr. Tobin is all about healing the body as a whole using natural methods. I walked out feeling motivated to make wise choices at the grocery store and to love my body more. Thank you Dr. Tobin! I will definitely see Dr. Tobin again and I've already recommended my sister to see her! read more

I made an appointment for ACUPUNCTURE and after 2 sessions I did not receive acupuncture. ON the second appointment I told Ms Tobin I was a bit confused as I made an appointment for acupuncture and her response was I could get it on my next appointment. She did a lot of testing on me and I didn't know why she was doing all this for acupuncture. Well, there were a lot of herbs, etc that I should buy for what her machines said was wrong with me. Therefore, there will be no other appointment. I wouldn't know if I would get acupuncture or not. Back to the drawing board looking for a good acupuncturist in North Orange County. read more

This review is long over due. I originally came to Dr. Tobin to combat weight gain and fatigue. I was literally in her office in tears over the frustration I was experiencing with my body. For over a year I had been hitting the gym 5 days a week, eating ridiculously healthy, doing yoga, kick boxing -- you name it -- I showed some improvements but then continued to gain weight. I knew I had to do something. I'm a believer in alternative/natural medicine but had never actually been to see a holistic doctor before. After numerous calls to different natural health professionals around Orange and L.A. counties, I found Dr. Tobin. She put me on a three month treatment plan that worked with my budget. I don't want this review to drag on for too long, so to cut it short, within the first month I had lost ten pounds and am now down nearly twenty! My energy is back and, as cliche as it sounds, I feel better than I have in years. I still work out, I still eat healthy, but I know I would never have accomplished this on my own and I know that the our current medical system would have treated only the symptoms, not the cause. After the Holidays (where I was obviously not able to hit the gym or eat in the best manner) I didn't gain a pound back! Before Dr. Tobin, months of working out to lose a few pounds would have been put back on after one unhealthy meal. If you are thinking about trying alternative medicine and the concepts are new to you, I advise you go in with an open mind. You don't have to believe that it will work, just please don't believe that it won't. Don't knock it til you try it. So many people are astonished by my transformation -- ALL of the people who ridiculed me for trying acupuncture and Eastern medicine swearing that it was a scam or placebo have changed their tune. I'm proud of my decision and I know you will be too! read more

I started seeing Dr. Tobin at the end of January 2017. I want to start off by explaining, in short, my situation. I am 45 and have been sick for most of my life. I have seen multiple doctors in multiple specialty disciplines for many many years. I am going to name just a few of my ailments here...Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Psoriatic Arthritis, Osteo Arthritis, Poly Arthritis, Narcolepsy, Degenerative Disc Disease, Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Mold Toxicity just to name a few. I have had multiple surgeries and have tried just about every therapy available. You have to understand that being as chronically ill as I am even getting out to go to appointments takes a lot of planning as I have minimal energy and maximum pain. When I began seeing Dr. Tobin I wasn't sure what to expect but since traditional doctors had not been able to help me I was desperate and hopeful that maybe just maybe this might help even if only a little tiny bit. My main disability keeps me in constant pain both acute and chronic and with all of the additional issues, many not listed here, I am always very tired as my body has to work very hard to keep functioning as normally as possible ( which to most ppl wouldnt be too normal). I was very pleasantly surprised when I met Dr. Tobin. She was very open and spent a lot of time with me. Much more than any other doctor I had ever seen. I have been told multiple times by different doctors that I am a medical mystery, an anomaly...but Dr. Tobin took everything in stride. As I stated above nothing much worked for me. I followed traditional doctors orders to the tee and at times I would feel better for at most a day but would return to my struggle. Once I started seeing Dr. Tobin and taking her recommended supplements I started seeing an improvement. It was a very small improvement at first, most people would not be able to see it...but I could feel it. And for me any improvement is a huge deal. I am still a work in progress, but with Dr. Tobins help I have come farther than I ever have with any other practitioner of any type. I used to only have 1-2 hours (on a good day) of what I call "up time" with the remainder in bed "resting" and now I am up to 3 sometimes 4 hours of functionability. You have to understand for me this is HUGE!!!! My issues are very profound and there are many so I did not go in expecting a miracle, to be honest with my prior experiences I didn't really expect much...but I had HOPE. And Dr. Tobin has helped me to surpass anything I could have hoped for. I could not be more grateful to her and her staff. She is a very kind and generous person. She does everything to try to help her patients to get the care that they need. She understands that for many of us money is an issue and she does her best to work with people. But this is acupuncture and if you have done any research most insurance does not pay for acupuncture and if they do its typically not a very good one. It is OUR responsibility as patients to confirm with our insurance companies that they will cover these "alternative" treatments as the insurance companies call them. Even though it is costly, for any person who is as sick as I am I say try to find a way if you can. I am grateful for her care and will sing her praises to anyone who wants to listen. She puts her heart and soul into her practice and her patients care and I believe if you give her a chance she will not let you down. read more

I love Dr. Mary!! I have been going to her from the beginning. She is kind, caring and honest. We always discuss my health and financial situation so she can work with me to give me the best possible care. She is great at explaining things, and if I have any follow up questions she always helps me. Years ago I would have never thought about acupuncture. Now it is a regular part of my healthcare. THANK YOU DR. MARY!! read more

I have been to see Dr. Tobin on three separate occasions now. All of them have been related to my sporadic back pain. Those who have had back pain understand that we are often looking for answers while hoping to avoid any type of surgery or otherwise invasive procedure. In the past I had relied on both chiropractic and conventional medicine. If being high on pain killers to avoid pain is not your cup of tea, you need to try acupuncture. With just three treatments Dr. Tobin was able to do for me what otherwise had taken months of doctor and chiropractor visits. I came in bent over in extreme pain and left after the first treatment very relaxed and able to stand up straight. If the whole needle things scares you, I can tell you that it does not hurt. One can barely perceive that the needles are being applied. My back and my soul is grateful that such medicine exists. I don't know how it works. I just know that it does. As an added benefit, my back treatments have also help calm down my eczema breakouts which, coupled with the stress I had been under, was just really getting me even more stressed out. Go see this lady. She is very caring and very knowledgeable. read more

In the past two years I have made many visits to my doctor for stomach discomfort. She said I had IBS and wanted to put me on medications. I refused to go on any meds as some have some worrisome side effects. I was finally referred to a gastro specialists. He told me it is probably dietary and referred me to his nurse assistant who would help me with dietary changes. She put me on a few different diets for short periods of time to see what would work and what would not. None of the dietary changes helped. I was getting desperate and decided to visit an acupuncturist to see if my stomach pain could be helped with acupuncture. I was helped by Dr. Tobin on my first visit. She asked me to try the Paleo diet. I went on this diet and that was the END OF MY STOMACH PAIN. I am extremely grateful to her. She changed my quality of life. Thank you Dr. Tobin read more

Dr. Tobin is a wonderful Doctor, this has truly been an amazing experience. For the first two sessions I could hardly walk and I was ready to give up. Everybody told me to hang in with the acupuncture treatments and I'm so grateful I did because, now that I am seeing so much progress I can finally stand up straight (something that has been completely impossible for me for a very long time) I'm hoping that this will be a panacea for all my ailments. I have sciatica on both sides, from my lower back all the way down my legs, I am in severe pain on a daily basis, making it hard to get through most daily activities. I've tried numerous treatments including 3 cortisone shots with zero relief. Dr Tobin's knowledge and skills in her profession have been the only thing that have given any relief and I extremely grateful to have found it. read more
