I have been working with Liz over the past year during an extremely difficult and transitional time…read morein my life. I felt completely overwhelmed, lost, scared, and static. I came to her feeling like a shell of myself, not knowing what to do. From the beginning of working with her, she immediately made me feel safe, heard, and at peace. At times, I felt like my issues were too much, too much for her to even take in, but that anxiety completely went away with her comfort and understanding. Through her healing using brain integration, I have not only been able to cope with the recent traumatic events in my life, but also navigate through major depression and helplessness. Additionally, her healing sessions have had positive physical effects on my body - I no longer suffer from acid reflux and stomach ulcers, which I have had for over 25 years. I am currently in menopause and my joint pain symptoms have improved, and my insomnia has decreased. There aren't words that can express how thankful I am for her healing and care. Also, I live on the West Coast of the United States, so we work remotely. Energy healing works! Liz is proof.

I whole heartedly and most enthusiastically recommend Liz Elia…read more She is one of those special people who are both so incredibly skilled and very kind. She is very intuitive, and really knows her stuff. She is incredibly gentle and also very strong and not afraid to give you her perspective. She is the kind of person who makes you feel understood and who lets you be yourself. She celebrates who I am and who others are, and has a knack for empowering you to be fully yourself. She has a clear, kind way of seeing things and often sees things that I might miss. And she can give you this wisdom in a way that is respectful of your dignity. She has a stillness and peace about her that is very healing. She's very genuine and real. Since I started working with her I have been feeling much better emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically. Her presence is loving and calm. She is a true healer, and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone seeking healing and well being. So grateful to her. Rabbi Shifra Freewoman

I'm honestly not someone who usually writes reviews, but my experience with Marisa has been so…read moreimpactful that I felt like I had to share. I drive over an hour each way to see her and it's been so worth it. I originally went to see Marisa for extreme anxiety and ongoing sleep issues, after trying what felt like every modality out there: somatic exercises, journaling, therapy, BIT, meditation, breath-work...you name it. While many of those helped in their own ways, nothing truly moved the needle for me the way hypnoacupuncture with Marisa has. From my very first session, there was an obvious shift. Even the people around me noticed. After that first session, the tension in my shoulders decreased, and the only way I can describe it is that everything (physically & mentally) felt like it had been taken down a notch. Since working with her, my sleep has completely transformed. I went from having an extremely hard time falling asleep and waking up almost every hour, to now pretty much sleeping through the night. If I do wake up, I can fall back asleep easily, and I'm even dreaming a lot which I take as a sign I'm finally getting deep, restful sleep. I've seen such drastic improvements that I genuinely feel like I have a new baseline. I feel so much more in control of my anxiety now and honestly like a completely different person than I was just a few months ago. It's been truly life changing. I honestly wish I could see her weekly. The closest way I can describe how you feel leaving a session is like you just had a massage; you're so relaxed, grounded, and at ease. Marisa has truly touched my life. She is genuinely an angel. She listens, she cares deeply, and she is incredibly dedicated to her clients. If she doesn't have an answer right away, she always follows up, whether by email or the next time you see her, which says so much about the level of thought and attention she gives. I don't feel comfortable around many people, but there's something about her energy that is so light and reassuring. She creates such a safe, welcoming environment, and it makes all the difference. I'm so grateful to have found her and truly can't recommend her enough.

Dr. Chen is highly educated and offers his own healing technique called tensiology or tuina therapy which he developed and had enhanced over the years.

I have been a patient of Dr Girgis' for ~3 years. I have suffered from migraines most of my life…read more When they began to increase in frequency and severity, I needed help. I already exhausted most if not all of the neurologists focused at least in part on migraines at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, in one way or another (they retired, left the practice, wanted to use strong meds, etc.), and I needed a fresh look at what was going on. I wanted to avoid the hassle of going into Boston for appointments if I could. Dr Girgis has helped me immeasurably. She gets me. She knows I don't like to take meds but she knows I need them. She recommends specific drugs based on my lifestyle. She checks how I am faring with side effects and informs me of new options at each visit. She knows there are better options for me but respects my preferences. I would suggest one reason Dr Girgis runs late is that she is very thorough and personable. She delves into my life in a gentle but prodding way. She has an unexpected sense of humor and a calm, easy manner. There is very little time between patients--barely enough to make some verbal notes/recordings of her previous patient. Therefore, I don't know how it is that she can remember--and inquire about--some of the details of my personal life, such as how my teenage son is doing in school. Dr Girgis knows the main stressors that exacerbate my migraines and she asks about each of them. She allows me to open up and share--like she has *all* the time in the world. What doctor does this?! Dr Girgis is compassionate, kind, and generous with her time. I would rather have a doctor with this disposition than one who rushes you out the door. And the thing is, Dr Girgis probably pays for it in the end. She's probably at work until 8:00 pm catching up on the paperwork she should have been doing had she kept each appointment to the prescribed health insurance/hospital allotment of what, 15 minutes? Schedule fewer patients per day, you say? I don't think she can. I'm not sure, but I think in order to maintain hospital privileges, doctors must maintain a daily or weekly patient quota. The more patients she is compelled to see, the less time she *should* have per patient. Yet she doesn't. This is why I don't mind that she runs late. If she is overly thorough with someone else, if she is trying to explore some root causes that aren't overtly manifest, that's a good thing. Yes, Dr Girgis is frequently late for appointments. I schedule extra time and if needed, I use it to catch up on emails or do crossword puzzles. I also know that if I run late (which I have), she won't give me a hard time. :) Unlike many "conventional" doctors, Dr Girgis doesn't flinch (too much :) when I mention chiropractic or acupuncture. In fact, she has shared with me treatments that are more holistic in nature that worked for other patients--because she wants me to feel better--and preferably not just as a Band-Aid, but to get to the root of the problem as much as possible so my migraines will, if possible, go away. I am an avid reader of reviews. I read some negative reviews before I decided to make an appointment with Dr Girgis. I was on the fence. But I read some very positive things about her as well and I chose to go with the positive. I am very thankful I did.

Extremely disappointing experience with this practice. We have Aetna, and the office collected our…read moreinsurance information before the appointment but never informed us that they were out of network. We were later charged $650 for a straightforward neurology visit (the same amount they intended to bill our insurance). When we contacted them about the situation, they were completely unhelpful and would not even offer a reasonable self-pay discount despite the lack of upfront disclosure. Had we known the visit would cost $650, we would never have proceeded. The lack of transparency and unwillingness to work with us afterward completely destroyed our trust in this practice. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this office to anyone and strongly suggest looking elsewhere for neurological care
