Discover a New Path to Wellness with the Best Functional Medicine Doctors
How does Med Matrix put the patient First?
In both Maine and New Hampshire, not every health provider places the highest priority on patient well-being. Traditional medical methods often emphasize symptom management rather than tackling the underlying causes of an illness, which can result in a pattern of brief relief followed by recurring health issues. Additionally, some providers may place higher importance on profit, which can lead to hurried appointments and lack of personal care.
However, functional medicine distinguishes itself by prioritizing the patient first. At Med Matrix, our team is committed to delivering care that is focused on the patient, delving deeper than just the symptoms. We invest time in listening, understanding, and resolving the fundamental reasons for health issues, aiming for long-term recovery and improved overall health.
Our approach involves tailored treatment plans, sophisticated diagnostics, and a dedication to the comprehensive wellness of our clients. With functional medicine at Med Matrix, you can be assured that your health and well-being are our foremost concerns.
At Med Matrix, we are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of services and cutting-edge technology to support your path to optimal health. Our team is skilled in a variety of practices including functional medicine, health coaching, hormone therapy, and nutrition. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools such as genetic testing and comprehensive laboratory evaluations to obtain a deeper understanding of your health conditions.
In addition, we provide innovative treatments and therapies like regenerative medicine, IV nutrient therapy, detoxification programs, PEMF mat, peptides, and more.
By integrating the most effective elements of both conventional and functional medicine, we offer a comprehensive approach to health care that is tailored to meet your individual needs.
Our Philosophy
1. Going Above & Beyond
“At Med Matrix our unwavering commitment is to guide you on the path to optimal health. While conventional medicine primarily seeks to label diseases and prescribe medications for specific symptoms we believe in a more holistic approach. Functional Medicine, our chosen path, perceives the body as a harmonious, interconnected system rather than a mere collection of isolated organs addressed by distinct medical specialties. In essence, we treat the entire system, delving into the root causes rather than merely alleviating symptoms.”
2. Working Together
“At Med Matrix, we see our patients as more than just visitors – they’re our valued partners on the journey to optimal health. Our collaborative team of experienced physicians, dedicated nurses, and expert nutritionists is committed to guiding every patient towards their peak well-being, a state we affectionately term ‘Health Actualization.’ The Med Matrix Center is your comprehensive destination for well-being, carefully crafted to ignite the healing process and lead you towards a life full of energy and vitality.”
3. Advanced Testing
“At Med Matrix, we seamlessly blend time-honored Western medical practices with cutting-edge Functional Medicine diagnostics conducted within our state-of-the-art in-house laboratory. We deeply understand the uniqueness of every patient’s health journey and, as a result, we tailor individualized treatment plans. Whether your path to wellness includes supplements, botanical medicines, prescription medications, therapeutic diets, detox regimens, or stress-reduction strategies, our dedication lies in implementing the methods that best suit your specific needs.”
4. Patient First
At Med Matrix, our core philosophy revolves around patient-centered care. Our practitioners take the time to listen, truly understand your unique story, and make you an integral part of the discovery process. We firmly believe that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution in healthcare. That’s why we’re dedicated to delivering the utmost quality of personalized care to every patient we serve. Our approach to Health Actualization isn’t solely about the absence of disease; it’s about fostering vitality and overall well-being. Together, let’s collaborate to achieve your path to Health Actualization.

What Our Patients Say About the Best Functional Medicine Doctors
EXCELLENT Based on 112 reviews Posted on Shelby TarboxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a great introductory experience at Med Matrix today. The staff in South Portland, Maine was so friendly, personable and really put me at ease. They took the time to explain the process of my first visit and what to expect moving forward. I’m so glad my husband recommended their office to me!Posted on Kimberly M StanleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s extremely important to have proper blood panels done to detect risk factors. Dr. Sasha Rose went over my test results, she listens and shared great advice on a few holistic supplements and a hormone treatment plan. I’m happy with my decision to start my journey with Med Matrix, Dr. Rose and kind attentive staff!Posted on Myron GreeneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I felt rushed, after Driving over 2 hours, to only be able to spend a half hour doing the Exams, I thought I was meeting with Bill after the Exams, to discuss what the Tests will Reveal, I had a great Discussion with Bill, the day Before!Posted on Jack RenaldsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love having access to peptides and advanced testing that my pcp wouldnt do. Team there is super knowledgeable, supportive and kind!Posted on Joanne AllardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was impressed with Dr Gabe...he took the time to help me understand my results and what changes I need to make for improvement. Also Jamie the nurse was informative and easy to talk to. They both made me feel at ease.Posted on Mark BridschgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From being greeting in the lobby ...having my body scanned and have my labs done was quick easy and proficient. Chantel was a pleasure....Posted on Mark JagoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thorough, thoughtful and thankful. I am writing an additional and updated review now that I have been with MedMatrix for five months. Collin Dees, PA, continues to be very thorough in going over my test results and discussing the issues I've presented. His thoughtfulness and personableness in answering my questions and explaining things is so positively different than the previous doctors I've had over the years. And Jamie Pirini, RN, has been absolutely amazing at setting up appointments, lab work, and listening to my concerns. For this and more, I remain thankful for MedMatrix.Posted on Stephanie HurdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been searching for a homeopathic place that focused on the whole body instead of just a lengthy list of diagnosis’s and meds thrown at me. I found med matrix and the discovery call I had not only gave me hope, but made me feel like somewhere, someone cared more than a 15 minute appointment. I drove 3 hours to go to my first appointment yesterday. I was greeted by two staff who were incredibly kind and supportive. The nurse who did my scan and took my blood was genuinely kind, receptive to my questions, and used humor which is my language. I am bad with remembering names but her brother and I share the same birthday and you could tell her love for people and to help them was pure. Surely can update after meeting with the Dr. to go over results for those who are wondering, but as of right now this is the first time I’ve felt even seen in a Dr. facility. I highly recommend.Posted on Paul NoelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always a good experience at Med Matrix. Though I still have issues ongoing, i need to find solutions, they try very willinh to help figure things out...With ME as a team.
