Unlike conventional Western medicine which focuses on treating symptoms, functional medicine focuses on unearthing the root cause of disease and addressing all the aspects of a patient's life—physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and environmental—that contribute to a patient's health and well-being. We use history taking, advanced laboratory testing and physical exam to come to a specific diagnosis and the combine nutrition, lifestyle, botanical medicine, nutraceuticals, homeopathy and more to restore balance.

Maine Coast Midwives & Medicine offers integrative pediatric care including well child visits, acute illness visits, and vaccine consultations. We offer the same physical exam as conventional pediatricians, assess developmental milestones, order labs and imaging, but what sets us apart is that we view your child and your family as individuals and do not use a "one size fits all" approach. We believe that healthy habits begin at a young age and discuss nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress and more at every visit. We treat conditions naturally when possible, and turn to antibiotics and other pharmaceutical medications rarely.
