Mend Health and Wellness

I first saw Dr. Victor back in July 2021 for chronic back pain. I have been seeing this practice as needed for 8 months and highly recommend them to anyone. I have used a lot of chiropractic services over the years, and I can tell the difference between a "factory" type of operation and one that listens to the patient and provides individualized care. Dr. Victor definitely listens, and uses his considerable knowledge to treat the issue or issues that you have. He has an easy-going personality and is always very considerate. In terms of chiropractic, he uses a lot of modalities, depending on your specific needs. In addition to traditional "back cracking" he also does a lot of soft tissue work including muscle release, active release therapy ART, and Grafton technique, as needed. He provides physical therapy exercise recommendations using a video platform that is easy to download onto a mobile phone; the recommendations are tailored well to the current situation. His scheduling is thoughtful and he doesn't try to just get you in as much as possible. He makes strong effort to coordinate well with other practitioners. e.g., when I saw an orthopedics MD, Dr. Victor sent them a very thorough and detailed report of his diagnosis and treatments he had done. He and his wife also at the practice take all major insurances. They regularly do various volunteer activities to support the local community, including Scarborough sports teams, a running event, and the local hockey league. They are definitely real and caring people, and are very easy to relate to.

I am writing this second review as a follow up to my first. I continue to be in awe of the progress I am making working with Mend Health! I have struggled with shoulder issues for quite some time and at the time of my last review I was pleased with my progress. I now am feeling like myself, back to lifting and enjoying my re-discovered quality of life!! I also mentioned a side issue, never expecting the chiropractor care could help, but boy was I wrong. Another doctor had told me that the only way to really be free from the pain was surgery. Since I wasn't willing to do that, I thought I'd have to live with the pain. Not anymore! After only a few sessions I have made great progress, with outstanding care, and have hope that I WILL be able to walk again without any pain. Please don't suffer, at least connect for a consult. You will be so glad you did. We deserve to live pain free, and trust me, there is a way! Blessings!

I was hesitant about seeing a chiropractor for my chronic shoulder pain but the timing seemed right for me to try anything after all other options failed. Someone mentioned this place and I gave it a shot. Boy am I glad I did...the session was painful, not sugar coating that at all, but the very next day aside from tissue pain which I figured would be coming after that session...my shoulder was 97.5% healed. It has been over a month since this session and I wanted to wait it out before I gave Victor the 5 star review because I wanted to see how well my shoulder would hold up with my daily routine of push-ups and dumbbell exercises. Still pain free and again it is important for me to reiterate that I had explored all options to fix my shoulder but to no avail. Victor is an absolute sorcerer....forever grateful!

I really like this office. Both Dr. Tracey and Dr. Victor St. John are amazing. They take time to make sure they fix your problems and care if you get better. I feel so relaxed when I leave. Beautiful laid back office. This is the place I recommend to friends and family.

Tracey has been amazing! I feel like I am getting great care and that Tracey is clear on getting me feeling better quickly and not missing out on my usual activities!!! She is smart and good at what she does and up on all the latest techniques that might work . She pulls out all the stops at every visit and works hard to help me heal and she’s really fun to talk to at the same time . Victor and Romeo are amazing also. The whole team feels solid and has their heart and minds in the right place. I am so grateful to have found them

Dr. Victor St. John spent an exorbitant amount of time with me today assessing a new flare up. I walked away with great relief after several weeks of being in severe pain. Getting older is difficult, he makes it easier! :-

Dr. Victor and Dr. Tracey are a fantastic team whose knowledge and down-to-Earth style were the right match for me. They are the first chiropractors I've worked with who took a truly individual approach to my symptoms. Rather than just doing quick adjustments that took a minute, they spend their time listening first and then providing a holistic approach to treatment. They did not try to sell me expensive pills, pillows, or orthotics. They provide excellent hands-on treatment as well as practical education on movement so I can keep my spine healthy. I most appreciate that they do not nickel and dime me but rather make professional recommendations based on my current needs. I respect and trust them and highly recommend their practice!

This is the chiropractor to go to! I tend to get exercise-induced back / neck / shoulder issues, and any time that happens, it just takes a few appointments at Mend to get me back in action. Plus, they have a terrific office dog named Romeo, who is sure to put a smile on any animal-lover's face, no matter how much their back is hurting!

I had never ever been to a chiropractor before and needed someone to help me with my lower back pain. A friend recommended Mend Health of Maine. I sent them a message and they responded immediately. I received an appointment the very next morning. I met with Dr. Tracey St. John. My appointment lasted well over an hour. She listened attentively to my concerns about my lower back pain. I was at ease the entire time. For the first time in 6 weeks I woke up with no pain the next morning. I couldn’t believe it. She gave me exercises to do 3 times a day. Which I did faithfully. And at my next appointment my pain was at a 1 out of 10! I highly recommend Mend Health of Maine. I will never hesitate to go there again. Grade: A++. Excellent.

Dr. Victor is great! He listened attentively to my issue, worked on my neck via massage and adjustment, and was very low pressure for follow up appointments. I explained some negative experiences I had had with chiropractors previously and he was super transparent and easy to work with. He’s also great to have a conversation with. Biggest bonus- there’s an office dog!
