Vancouver Naturopathic Clinic

The technician has all the expertise to test you on your allergies. The doctor does the last analysis and match his recommended naturopathic health products to suit your prescription drugs. I wish my specialist doctor would follow naturopathic principles or make recommendations to naturopathy instead of willy-nilly prescribing steroid inhalers as he has been. It would save taxpayers lots of money and expedite healing instead of suppress symptoms.

My experience at Vancouver Naturopathic clinic was great. I highly recomend a visit to see Dr. Vanessa Lindsay. Narrowing down my issues took only a couple of visits. Great facilities including a sauna which helped immensely with my skin and toxin release.

Waring: Vega Test conducted here.I have gastritis and acid reflex issue and i want to have a stool test to know the status of bacterial flora, so I reached out to this clinic based on the good review here. However the result is not good. The doctor persuaded me not to do a stool test but do their clinic test instead which he claimed can identify every part of my body function, it sounds like appealing and I don't know what I'm about to get into after the call. The first appointment is booked for an hour and the doctor only talked to me less than 30 mins because he needs me to do that test he recommended at first, so half of money is wasted in my first appointment.Then they booked that test which looks a bit odd to me, they asked me to hold a metal stick which connected to a machine, and then they put different little glass bottle on the machine, each bottle has a different labels which has several categories including different kinds of food name, organ's name, Vitamins and Minerals. Then they will put each bottle on the machine and the machine will make different sounds. All the bottles looks exactly the same and filled with liquids. If the machine made lower tune sounds which means i have a problem on that part. What more is the doctor asked me to bring all the nutrition and stomach medicines to the clinic and he put each of them on the machine, and let the machine decide which medicine I should take and which medicine I should not take anymore. he didn't open the nutition or medcine but just put them on that machine with their outerpacking-their original bottle/box. Then the doctor started to recommend me to buy the nutritions from their clinic which ofcourse need to be approved by that machine. The whole process last for around one hour and a half and I left the clinic with suspect and a nearly $600 bills. The doctor said the test could be normally covered by commercial insurance but it's not actully.I went back home and started to take the nutritions which approved by that machine and my symptom got worse. Then I searched on the internet about this test and the logic behind it and I found that Vega testing (the Vega test method) is an unorthodox method of diagnosing allergic and other diseases. It has no established scientific basis and it's not FDA approved.I went back to the clinic to return the expensive nutritions but the doctor said they cannot be returned.I hope everyone who want to go to this clinic know this information in advance and get ready for what about to happen if they ever recommend you this test, this is a lesson caused me almost a thousand dollars.

My wife is trying to keep me alive forever. These doctors keep me healthy. I love Dr. Kuprowsky and Dr Swetlikoff. And Britt who manages the office is great too. It's obvious that she cares about us crazy patients.

I would give Dr. Nicole van Poelgeest 10 stars if I could. Dr Nicole is currently caring for a loved one undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. I have found her to be an exceptionally thoughtful, intelligent professional who is well versed in conventional and complementary oncology treatments. Dr Van Poelgeest has the perfect blend of humility and humanity - which promotes an open minded and genuinely compassionate approach to care. She has supported my loved ones side effects and is always willing to help. I would recommend her to a friend or family member seeking any type of naturopathic/complementary care. Thank you Vancouver Naturopathic Clinic and Dr Poelgeest!

The Vancouver Naturopathic Clinic Has been my saviour for a number of Health Issues that have surfaced for me over the past 3 Years. From the helpful woman at the front desk, to the kind nurses in the I.V room, to Lorne and his knowledge and understanding of the root causes of dis-eases, everyone is positive and supportive. I have sent many friends and loved ones over the years and they have had great experiences and results as well. I love the Vancouver Naturopathic approach! Don't waste your time going anywhere else! Thank you.

Dr. Vanessa was helpful, supportive and easy to talk to. She helped lessen the severity and duration of my cold. As a nurse I know there isn't a cure for the common cold, but Dr. Vanessa came close! After taking her advice, I started feeling better the next day. Dr. Vanessa is wonderful and I will definitely continue to see her for regular immune support.

I had the good fortune of being referred to Dr. Nicole van Poelgeest at the Vancouver Naturopathic Clinic a few months ago. Nicole went above and beyond in helping me at the time. She is a very intelligent person with a wealth of Knowledge and a wonderful caring manner. Once Nicole starts imparting her health care knowledge, you know you she has done her research and that you are in good hands. I will continue to use Nicole as my major health care provider and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptionally well qualified naturopath.Beverley WattVancouver B.C.

Dr. Vanessa Lindsay and I have also been together for a few years now and she is also someone who I couldn't imagine going through life without. She has worked with me before even thinking about babies, through to conception, postpartum and now prenatal again. She has a gentle and practical approach. She respects my desire to have naturopathy and family medicine complement versus fight against one another.

The best experience I have ever had visiting a Naturopathic Clinic. I have seen three doctors there - Dr. Kelly, Dr. Vanessa, and Dr. Shaz. They have all been excellent. They have supported me with my health, while also demonstrating a high amount of professionalism and care. My family has also visited them. I cannot recommend this clinic enough!
