About Integrative Health Center of Maine

What is Integrative Health Center of Maine?

Integrative Health Center of Maine is a multi-practitioner clinic in Cumberland Foreside, Maine. Its core is integrative medicine, with practitioners who combine conventional and natural treatments under one roof. The clinic lists IV wellness therapy, holistic family medicine primary care, holistic psychiatry (provided from a Brunswick office), naturopathic medicine, integrative cancer care, a Lyme literate practice, osteopathic manipulative treatment, massage therapy, environmental detoxification, health and nutrition coaching, and women's health. It has a 5 rating on Google from 16 reviews, and Google lists it as a wellness center.

The prescribers listed on its providers page are Sean McCloy, MD, MPH, MA, who is board-certified in family medicine and holistic medicine, Heidi Chester, MD, and Karen “Kiera” Preston, MSN, NP-C, a nurse practitioner. Hormone therapy has no service page of its own. It appears only in Preston's bio, which describes her practice focus as functional medicine, hormone therapy, and optimizing wellness and longevity. In its own words: “The goal at Integrative Health Center of Maine is to fix the root cause of the problem using natural methods, not just cover up symptoms with drugs.”

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices for any service. It gives no price for hormone therapy, names no medication for it, and does not say whether any price includes the medication. It is advertising 50% off the consultation for new IV clinic patients, but it does not give the regular consultation fee, so the discount has no dollar figure. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance, offers financing or a membership, or provides telehealth visits.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs a hormone prescription, and whether that is Preston or one of the physicians. Ask what the first visit costs before the 50% discount, and what a hormone visit costs after it. Ask whether any monthly or per-visit price includes the medication, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what lab work is required, who orders it, and what follow-up visits cost. Ask whether insurance is accepted, whether follow-up can be done remotely, and how cancellation works, including any prepaid package.

Office staff are in Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and the office is not staffed Friday through Sunday, though some practitioners see patients on Fridays. Ask how you reach someone with a question between visits, and who will be in the building on the day you come in.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want integrative care from several practitioners and hormone therapy would be one part of that, and you are willing to get the price, the medication, and the prescriber's name in writing before you pay. It may not suit you if you need a published price and a named medication before you book, since the clinic's pages give neither.
