As far as acupuncture goes, Dr. Tobin and the other acupuncturist on staff Dr. Caldwell are the best I've seen, and I have quite a bit to compare them to. For a period of about a year and a half) I was needing a lot of acupuncture and tried many places. I am Chinese and speak Chinese, so I was able to try many Chinese speaking places. Although some other acupuncturists I tried were good acupuncturists (from feeling my pulse, they could get a pretty good idea of what I was dealing with and what acupuncture points would help), none of them did all the muscle testing that Dr. Tobin does, and in my experience, that is hugely important when prescribing herbs of any sort.

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)

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.

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 wouldn’t 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.

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 think that Dr. Tobin is a miracle worker.

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 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.

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 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%.

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 :)

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 Tobin holistic health.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Dr. Tobin is amazing and so knowledgeable! After feeling overwhelmed and helpless with how much pain I was experiencing from my endometriosis, neck pain, migraines and nausea, a friend told me I should seek a holistic doctor. I did a quick search and after reading about Dr. Tobin and her treatments I reached out and I'm so glad I did! Every visit I have with her I learn something new. I see her about 3 times a week now and we do mostly acupuncture which is so helpful, but in addition I did low light laser therapy when I was in pain and I felt so much better after. I'm trying the sauna on Wednesday after my acupuncture and I can't wait. I'm so happy with the progress I'm making, definitely recommend Dr. Tobin!

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.

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.

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.

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

Dr.Tobin is amazing! I would recommend her to everyone!
