Ontario College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Toronto | OCTCM

I had two great experiences here. The intake was quite long and I felt impatient, but the medical problem was resolved from the first treatment and it was rather severe. The supervisor was available to oversee the student clinical treatments. I would recommend this to anyone on a budget! Acupuncture seems like magic!

I arrived to this place looking for answers. Contradictions to my own family values had me really upset in my life. On top of that, I had been roughed up by the street.I sat on the sofa in the interior looking around and wondering where I was. I saw pictures of various cultures and my intuition had me believing I was in some place specialWhen I looked up I saw a very friendly and kind doctor. There are very few people with his integrity in town. From the workshops he hold about death, to the funny way he tries to manage the weirdest rental space in the center of Toronto, on the busiest intersection in town, it's all fairytale likeThere are very few people on town that keep the integrity of small business through much confrontation of outside ideas, but in this school, approaches to various perspectives of medicine are thought well. It's not perfect. I think the bigger picture is missing and I'm worried that the space might collapse in a flood or storm, but the intention is sacredI think it's time we concentrate on better thinking, and widespread change on ideas on herbal medicine. Even if it takes time, and becomes exhausting, and people in the neighbourhood are all together going through so many processes of change, especially in this neighbourhood. I find it hard to contribute to these ideas at all, when they are not accepted by my own family doctorI'm also not in the position to argue because my poor generation is starving, can barely afford these services, and will be in a constant face off with their families just to be able to pay rent and live where there is enough employment to buy toilet paper and a hug, and one joint at a weird poor quality herbal dispensaryEverytime I growl and roar for them I'm charged with violations of another western mood disorder and have to sniff on my poor quality essential oils

I've had a high quality customer experience with OCTCM. I booked however when I visited there was no one there and when I emailed to inquire they were extremely apologetic and understanding and I was credited for another appointment. This to me is a sign a high quality and customer focused organization that I am sure will also trickle down to their treatment. I would definitely recommend working with OCTCM.

Dylan accepted me to this school with open arms. Made me believe in myself, made meKeep going and surpass myself. I honour this profession and try to go as far as possibleto truly have the privilege to be called a TCM practitioner. I graduated with 5.5 years to this school. OCTCM is amazing and made me feel welcomed, I recommend

OCTCM has excellent learning facilities to learn and practice all the modalities of Chinese Medicine, including moxibustion. Dylan, who directs the college, is kind, patient, knowledgeable, professional, and proactively seeks out opportunities for his students to grow as practitioners.

I have completed my Diploma of Acupuncture" from OCTCM with an amazing experience and beautiful memories. Everyone treats each other like one OCTCM family and even after completing my study

I've been to OCTCM in all capacities: as a student, as a patient in the student clinic, and as a patient in the professional clinic. This is a well run facility operated by people with passion and great talent. The student clinic is an amazing resource to all those unsure about acupuncture, but also the very agreeable fee makes it a viable option even if you're income insecure. In the professional clinic I have had very positive experiences with both Dylan, who is the R. TCMP, and Max who is the Chiropractor. Finally, as a student who has spent countless hours at OCTCM, I can say I am overall very happy with the instruction I received and proud to have completed my studies here.

I have had incredible experiences here both as a student and as a patient (in both the student and professional clinics).As a PATIENT - the facilities are clean and beautiful, and the treatments are safe, effective and transformative. I always leave appointments with a feeling of deep gratitude. At the beginning of the COVID lockdown, Dylan (TCMP) and Dr. Wong (Chiropractor) supported me through a dislocated elbow both online (for herbs) and in my home (for manual therapy).As a STUDENT - this school has an wonderful vibe, a tight-knit student body, and the greatest teachers. A lot of thought is put into the curriculum and they are quick to adapt to changing times. I will always reflect fondly on my time there! (and the rooftop patio is the best - especially for those Qigong classes)

I love this school! The staff at this school work so incredibly hard to make sure the needs of their students, faculty and patients are met and exceeded. As someone who has not only worked here, studied here, graduated from here and been a patient here I cannot recommend them enough. Dylan has done an exceptional job at running this campus and his care and dedication for his students extends past graduation. As an alumni, the community this school provided is still a huge part of my life and I'm so grateful for everything that Dylan and this school have done.

Disappointed. I found OCTCM to be lacking in professionalism and proper communication skills. After my initial visit and tour of the school, I followed up with questions in emails as I was told that's the best method to reach them. On the contrary, it took them more than one month to reply each time. This only shows disorganization. It's also evident in their students low pass rate on the board exam.I'm glad I have found another school which values my time and interest to study TCM and acupuncture.
