Integrative Naturopathic Medical Centre: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Dr. Taylor Green has been absolutely amazing. I am simply so grateful to have found her over a year ago. She listens to my concerns/questions, she brings a wealth of knowledge to our conversations (hormones/digestion/reproductive health, etc), she is kind, and she has helped me so much. After experiencing years of symptoms and challenges, it is such a relief to know that I am in good hands. My quality of life has improved tremendously. It's worth the money. I recommend Dr. Green 100%, she is 10/10.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review, Mia! We’re thrilled to hear that Dr. Green has provided the support you needed. It’s an honor to be part of your wellness journey, and we’re overjoyed to know you’re experiencing improvements in your everyday life. Your kind words mean the world to us!
Fantastic experience: I work in the kitchen and my back has always been a problem. A close friend with serious trust issues referred me to Dr. Alex Chan, so I knew I was going to be in good hands. Dr. Chan gave me sound advice on how to fix my back problems through natural remedies including hot and cold compresses, stretches and teas. All inexpensive and easy to do at home. I even sleep better and feel more energetic everyday. I simply won't see any other Doctor in the city. Dr. Alex Chan is simply so genuine and sweet and is always looking out for you!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Dr. Alex Chan. We are so happy to hear you are sleeping better and feeling more energetic with her support. We are grateful to be part of your wellness journey!
Fantastic experience: HUGE thank you to Dr. Alex and the entire Chan family for all the life saving support they have provided me and my family over the last 20+ years. Dr. Alex is a superstar. She has properly treated my countless psychological and physiological ailments along with my children’s issues. Always willing to help and always very comforting. It feels like a combination of a doctors appointment and a safe place to speak how I feel. Dr. Alex is simply the best doctor in the city!
Thank you so much for your 5-star review, Chris! It has been an absolute pleasure to support not only your wellness journey but also that of your entire family. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback with us and look forward to continuing to care for you and your loved ones for many years to come.
Negative experience: Integrative and Dr Alex Chan falsely diagnosed me with cancer to start. I can't think of a more negligent false diagnosis from a doctor. I have been seeing Dr Alex Chan here for 2 years for complex chronic illness from the covid vaccine. I have spent tens upon tens of thousands of dollars with the clinic. Along with the above false diagnosis she also failed to refer me to an immunologist whose testing she used on me who could have helped me with his protocol a lot quicker (1 year) and instead kept recommending supplements that did absolutely nothing for my health causing Dr Alex Chan to have to apologise again to me for incompetance. I finally discovered the immunologist in question (Dr Bruce Patterson) and referred myself. My experience was not only expensive here but incredibly reactive. My belief is that Dr Alex didn't have the qualifications to manage my case and instead of being honest about it continued to bill me and pretend she and integrative could help. Due to their negligence I have had to seek further outside care in the US and have had to seek medical attention to undo some of the harm that was imposed upon me by Dr Chan including most recently - hormone therapy - not to mention the psychological damage of a false cancer diagnosis. After speaking with the clinic's management I received no written apology from my Dr for the above and have been refused any recent refunds.
At Integrative Naturopathic Medical Centre, we take patient concerns seriously and uphold the highest standards of professionalism and care. While we cannot comment on the specifics of any case due to patient confidentiality, we want to emphasize that our practitioners, including Dr. Alex Chan, provide evidence-based, ethical, and personalized care to every individual. To clarify, naturopathic doctors (NDs) in British Columbia are regulated healthcare providers under the College of Complimentary Health Professionals of BC. NDs are not authorized to make direct referrals to medical specialists within the public healthcare system. We take these regulations seriously and adhere to them rigorously. We have always prioritized patient health and transparency in all interactions. Your feedback has been noted, but we categorically reject the unsubstantiated and harmful accusations made in this review. We stand by the professionalism and dedication of our team and are confident in the care provided. While we regret that your experience with our clinic did not meet your expectations, we do not agree with the claims made. We wish you well on your health journey.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Caleda was recommended to me, I got prp in my lower back a few months ago, knock on wood, it seems to be working, I can do movements without pain, that bothered me for 10 years before seeing Dr. Caleda, at Integrative Health. Dr. Caleda, knows his stuff, he don't mess around and like a true professional, uses ultrasound guidance doing his injections.
Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review Mark! We're excited to be part of your healing journey and thrilled to hear that you're experiencing relief after PRP treatment with Dr. Caleda. It's great to know you're now moving pain-free after 10 years. We look forward to seeing you in the future and wish you continued health and wellness.
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr. Jam Caleda for PRP injections for injured ligaments in my lower back, causing me chronic and severe back pain for over a year. After seeing multiple practitioners, he was the only one to confirm my diagnosis. The treatments have me feeling 90-95% improved already! His treatment approach and bedside manner is excellent. Without his treatment, I was worried I would end up on long term disability. I highly recommend him and this naturopathic office.
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with Dr. Jam Caleda and our clinic. We are so pleased to hear that his approach and care have made such a difference in your recovery. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us. We’re grateful to be part of your healing journey and are committed to continuing to support your health. Wishing you all the best in your ongoing recovery Mike!
Fantastic experience: Great staff, helpful doctors and a nice space.
Thank you so much for your review Kirk. We are happy to have you and are grateful to be part of your wellness journey.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Caleda will go above and beyond for his patients and do everything in his power to get you feeling better.
Mike, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are so happy to hear you have had a positive experience with Dr. Caleda. Warmly, Integrative Team
Negative experience: I wanted to give Naturopathic treatment another shot after not getting results previously and exhausting every other option but not only did my condition not improve, my symptoms doubled after the treatment I was given. My doctor was extremely professional and friendly but unfortunately the treatment did not work for me.
Hi Mariana, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We really appreciate the feedback on your experience. Our practitioners are always open to discussing the treatment plan provided and often can recommend other options to address your concerns. We hope to see you again in future and do wish you the very best on your wellness journey. Warmly, The Integrative Team
Fantastic experience: Mixed/dual eview of both naturopath and customer service/reception: (Wish I could rate both separately, but here’s the overall): My naturopath = 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reception= 2.5 Reception: walking into the space, you see a large Buddha statue mixed with pleasant wallpaper, lighting etc. It’s quite nice. However, reception, every time I’m there and despite the person, is never really a welcoming experience. Each person I’ve interacted with at front has in essence, treated me as an unlucky number. For example, when I wasn’t given a reminder of a rescheduled appt they still charged me a no-show fee. Also, I have my CC on file which is mandatory, but like to pay with my debit. Every time they give me grief and I don’t think I’ve seen them smile once. They also didn’t print off half of the sheets they were supposed to print for me that the naturopath had requested. Naturopath: I was seeing dr Kuzma for awhile and loved her. Since she left, I’ve been seeing Dr Green for a short time and in a couple months, she’s managed to recommend a path for me that has basically changed my health in ways I didn’t really think were possible, at least in short time. She is always friendly and efficient and seems to really care about her patients. She also has a great sense of humour :). Treatment wise relating to my past: for example, my qualified GP’s treatment of me had little difference in my chronic insomnia and weight gain in the last 6 years, whereas within a couple weeks here, I have started feeling more confident, getting more sleep, and lost some stubborn fat, as well as reduced some anxiety. I’m hoping to continue on this path!
Hello Courtney, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're delighted to learn that you have had a positive experience with your ND and that your health is showing improvement.

We strive to ensure that our patients receive timely notifications and reminders to assist them in managing their appointments effectively. However, we acknowledge that there might have been a breakdown in communication, and we apologize if our reminders did not reach you as intended.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of receiving both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Naturopathic care for many years from Dr. Lawrence Chan and Dr. Karen Lam at Integrative Naturopathic Medical Centre. Although it took me some time to write this review, I'm thrilled to finally share my experience. Upon entering the clinic, I immediately felt at ease and welcomed. Both Dr. Chan and Dr. Lam took the time to attentively listen to my concerns and understand my health history, which instilled confidence in their expertise. Their gentle yet effective treatments, including acupuncture and chiropractic care, were customized to my specific needs, and I noticed significant improvements in my overall health and well-being after just a few visits. One of the most admirable qualities of Dr. Chan and Dr. Lam is their extensive knowledge and willingness to explain the details of their treatments. They take a holistic approach to health and wellness, and their passion for their work truly shines through in every interaction. I highly recommend Dr. Lawrence Chan and Dr. Karen Lam to anyone seeking exceptional TCM and Naturopathic care. Their kindness, expertise, and unwavering dedication to their patients make them truly stand out in their field. If you're looking for healthcare providers who prioritize your wellbeing, look no further than Integrative Naturopathic Medical Centre.
Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to leave such an exceptional review. We are thrilled to hear that you have had a positive experience with us through the years and that our services met or exceeded your expectations. Thank you for the many years of trust and allowing us to be a part of your wellness journey. Your kind words and positive feedback mean a lot to us, and we truly appreciate your support. We take pride in providing excellent patient care and delivering high-quality products/services, so it's gratifying to know that our efforts have been recognized. Once again, thank you for your feedback, and we hope to have the pleasure of serving you again in the future. In health, Integrative Team
Fantastic experience: Hand down the best Naturopath I have consulted with. I have chronic lyme disease and recently had a case of vitamin b6 toxicity and Dr. Alex Chan has been amazing. I am a firm believer that working with a doctor is a two way street and Dr. Chan listens to everything I say and gives really good advice and recommendations for me. I would highly recommend this clinic.
Hi Ciaran, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. At Integrative, we strive to collaborate with our patients and are so happy this has been a positive experience for you. We really appreciate your feedback and wish you the best on your ongoing health journey.
Fantastic experience: Great place especially if you are looking to see what vitamins you are low on. Only things is that the blood works is expensive and you have to wait 2 week for the results
Hi Thank you for taking the time to leave us with a lovely review! We completely understand where you're coming from. We work with the best labs to bring in specialized tests for our patients and, sometimes, there is a bit of a wait for results depending on their turnaround. As soon as we receive results, we will always let you know!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr Chan for many years. I wish I could find a medical doctor who was even half as good !
Hi Gary! Thanks so much for your wonderful review!
Fantastic experience: Best place to go to get your health better!
Thank you so much for your review! We are grateful to be part of your wellness journey.
Fantastic experience: I have had pretty bad gut issues for the past 5 years or so, which steadily worsened over time. The many family doctors and specialists were not helpful and made me feel more hopeless and upset about my situation. I have been seeing Dr. Taylor Green for a little over two years now (note I don’t write reviews too often unless an experience was either exceptionally positive or negative). Dr. Green and the team at integrative have been wonderful for me in my journey of healing my gut and starting work with me at a point where I was very distrustful towards health professionals. Dr. Green was always very kind and patient through the ups and downs of the process, and always attentive and validating of my concerns, as well as giving her expert guidance while taking my opinions into account. She always went above and beyond in terms of giving her care, attention and time. When some treatments didn’t work as expected initially, she was flexible and able to provide other avenues of treatment which turned out to be very effective! At first when I started going to see her I wasn’t sure how many sessions I would have mostly just due to cost. However, I quickly saw the high value of having a skilled and empathetic clinician such as Dr. Green in working through chronic health issues. My health hasn’t been in such a good place for years as it is now thanks to Dr. Green’s work with me. I am so thankful for her and that I chose integrative. Highly highly recommend this place.
Sinica, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are grateful to be part of your wellness journey.
Fantastic experience: My go to place for IV detox and great naturopathy treatments
Wendy, thank you for your kind words. We are happy to have you!
Fantastic experience: They offer very unique treatments based on your individual needs and very informative about their services. Would highly recommend to all my family and friends
Thank you so much for your review! We are grateful to be part of your wellness journey.
Negative experience: Called the clinic to make an appointment, the receptionist was kind of short with me and said to email them. Then I emailed, and they gave me a phone number to call. I called during the times they indicated and no one picked up. I left a voicemail and was never called back. Very disappointed!
Hi Laura, Thank you for taking the time to write this review, we take feedback very seriously. We are available to be reached by phone 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday, phone calls left after 4pm are returned the following business day. Weekend voicemails are returned Monday morning. Voicemail is on during our lunch hour 12:30-1:30pm, calls are returned at 1:30pm. This is not typically how we manage new patient inquiries and would welcome an opportunity to rectify your experience. Please feel free to call or email us [email protected]. Thank you.
Negative experience: This is one of the worst clinics if you actually want to improve your condition. I booked 3 months in advance just to see the doctor for July 2021. Right now it's November and I still haven't been able to see him for the second time because they are always fully booked months in advance. (I did book in advance but they cancelled my appointment on that day after waiting months because he was taking that day off all of a sudden). If you want to take 20 years to fix your condition, then feel free to come to this clinic. This clinic takes forever for anything and when I asked for a refund because I spent so much money without getting any feedback on my condition, they simply said that it's not possible. I'm not sure why they have such high reviews.
We take your feedback seriously as your situation is not reflective of how we work with our patients. We have investigated your concerns and yes, some of our doctors do book quite far in advance and we have processes in place to support our new patients. We would welcome another opportunity to support you.
Negative experience: I called the clinic to make an appointment for a first time visit to see a Naturopath. The receptionist said she would email me the proper client forms. The forms never came. I had to make 3 phone calls to finally get the form emailed to me. The receptionist spelled my email wrong. Then I got home from work to hear a message stating - "if we don't receive your forms, your appointment will be cancelled." Very disorganized and poorly managed. If it takes 3 phone calls for me to get one email - what the heck is the problem! Not impressed!
Hi Tyler, Thank you for taking the time to write this review, we take patient feedback very seriously. This is not our typical process and would like to better understand what went wrong. Please feel free to call or email us to better understand and hopefully rectify your experience. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I have received really great care here. I have seen a few naturalpaths here and they all have been great. They discovered some things with my health that no one else was able to. Highly recommend them.
Thanks so much for the lovely review, Rita!
Fantastic experience: I am well from a medium-severe traumatic brain injury because of the help of Eric Posen and the exceptional teams of admin and pharmacy staff. Larry Chan is also excellent for knees, ankles, backs etc! Eric Posen is an internal medicine and brain injury and allergy expert.
Thank you for the lovely review! We're glad to be a part of your healing journey.
Fantastic experience: Been a client at integrative for 29 years, Doctor Posen has been unbelievable in his care giving over those yrs,He is retiring & I'm going to miss him greatly, All the best Eric.arleigh
Hello Arleigh, we're happy to be a part of your wellness journey. Thanks so much for the wonderful review!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Katie Leah is absolutely amazing as a doctor and as a person. She is incredibly caring and kind and has made a huge impact on my life. I have dealt with awful migraines, TMJ pain, skin issues and very bad tinnitus for years. She has helped me so much with this I can't thank her enough!
Hello Brita, thank you so much for your amazing review! You're right - Dr. Leah is wonderful!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Katie Leah at Integrative Naturopathic Medical Centre for a number of years now. The setting is serene and the staff are friendly.
Thanks so much for the lovely review, Tammy!
Fantastic experience: I love this clinic so much. Dr Leah is an incredible naturopath. She has changed my life for the better with her treatments for my health and wellness. You won’t regret visiting here!
Thank you for the lovely review!
Positive experience: Thank you for following up with me.
Thanks for the wonderful rating! We'll always do our best to help!
Negative experience: I booked an appointment with this clinic for naturopathic treatment with Dr.Chan based from all the good reviews - I got an appointment two months later than when I called, but I was okay with it due to covid-19 and all the medical processes taking time. However, a week before my scheduled appointment, I received a call and was charged for $50 for a missed appointment! I still have the email, and a voice message on my phone stating the original time that I had booked in advance two months ago. My partner was shocked too since he was there when I called the office to book the appointment originally and remembers it being scheduled not at the time the office charged me for. The appointment they "claimed I booked" was on a day I was scheduled to be away from Vancouver, so I would have never booked that time - their receptionist wrongly scheduled me for an appointment in their system and then charged me for their error. No where on their website does it state that you will be charged $50 for "missed appointments" i.e. scheduling errors by Integrative's staff. Terrible service and a disorganized reception that resulted in hidden fees for an error on their part. Stay away and go with a naturopathic office that knows how to use a calendar.
Hello Zana, As much as we are disappointed that we are unable to help you achieve your health goals, we find it very disappointing to find this review here given the actual circumstances of your booking and subsequent missed appointment resulting in a missed appointment fee. Our specialized team is quite proficient with calendars and emails and have been highly commended (especially since COVID) on their commitment to patient care and attention to detail. When you contacted the clinic, just over a month ago, we booked your requested appointment, secured it with your credit card details and sent you a follow-up email with all necessary information outlined during the phone call, including your appointment time and date and our Missed Appointment Policy. For any scheduled appointment, an automated reminder email is sent 3-days prior to confirm the booking and remind patients of our 2-business days cancellation policy. When you missed your appointment, we reached out to ensure everything was okay. You responded to us by replying to the reminder email that was sent to you and much to our chagrin the confirmation appointment date was not consistent with your booking. This was very concerning to us! We immediately checked all outgoing and sent emails to ensure that our automated email reminder software was not compromised as many of our patients rely on this. The software seems to be working just fine and upon reviewing the confirmation email and the email we received from you, the appointment date had been changed from its original date indicating that the data had been augmented AFTER the email reminder was sent. In this circumstance, a missed appointment charge is necessary. We wish you all the best on your health journey. Integrative Team
Fantastic experience: Very clean, courteous staff and helpful doctors.
Thank you so much for the awesome review, Liz! We're happy to hear you had a great experience at our clinic. Looking forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: I have been having a lot of health issues for the past few years that doctors at regular medical clinics never bothered to look into. I came here and the doctor showed so much empathy and looked into every concern and found what was causing them. I even feel like my doctor helps me mentally as well as physically because she is so calming and encouraging. I finally had my health issuing validated and helped - I am so grateful.
Hi Mikaila! Thanks so much for your wonderful review. We're always happy to help!
Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of seeing almost all the practitioners at this office over the years, and each one has helped me tremendously in many different ways. Most recently I've worked with Dr. Lawren Chan, who is absolutely brilliant in her work. Every interaction has been incredibly therapeutic from both physical and mental/emotional standpoints. Her expertise in acupuncture and adjustments always leaves my body feeling more healthy and aligned. She listens attentively without judgement, and creates a wonderful healing space where I always feel well supported. Her extensive knowledge about the human body and natural medicines has helped facilitate my health and wellness on many occasions.
Hi Caitlan! Thank you for the fantastic review. We're lucky to have Dr. Lawren on our team!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to INMC since 1983 when I first moved to Vancouver. Dr. Lawrence Chan has never failed me. I’ve had the opportunity to experience the care of the lab and some of the other practitioners, and in my opinion they are all 5 Star!
Thanks so much for your kind words, Rose! Hope you're keeping well and safe!
Fantastic experience: Very experienced staff and they ensure follow up and collaboration with your GP and hospital.
Thank you for your kind words! We really appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Great knowledgeable staff
Thanks for the awesome review, Chantal!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Lawren Chan. She brought me from the cusp of an endocrine disorder back to a healthy state, and has been working with me to address other long standing health concerns. She's an incredibly gifted professional, and is the first natural health care practicioner I can enthusiastically recommend.
Thanks for your kind words and the awesome review! We really appreciate it.
Negative experience: Didn't even get to make an appointment. The office staff was so rude and wouldn't book over the phone because "that's what online booking is for"
Hi Kelly, We’re sorry to hear of your experience. We take patient feedback very seriously and hope to amend your experience. Please feel free to call or email us and give us an opportunity to hear your full experience. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Healthy healing with a progressive modern approach.
Thanks for the great review James - we really appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Dr Caleda, none better.
Thanks so much for a great review! We truly appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: An excellent clinic and doctors!
Thanks for the amazing review. We really appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Lawren Chan and i have nothing but good things to say about her. My impressions: Amazing Personality, very confident, caring, very easy to talk to about any health concern i had, very good listener, calm and affectionate . She gave me lots of comfort , mentally as well as physically. She doesn't give you extra stuff, in fact she saved me lots of money by cutting all the unnecessary stuff given to me by other naturopaths. She is knowledgeable , not only a naturopath but also a chiropractor as well and acupuncture + some kind of healing power. My one stop Dr. really :)) LOVE HER ..
Such kind words, thank you so much for an amazing review! We greatly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Dr lam does my TCM treatments she is amazing.
Thank you for the great review! We truly appreciate your support!
Positive experience: Dr. Posen was very skilled and intuitive.
Fantastic experience: I have not made as much progress in my entire health journey as I have with Integrative in a matter of months! It’s so beneficial having an experienced team all under one roof.
Fantastic experience: Staff replies right away to inquiries and they thoroughly answer all the questions you have in detail.
Fantastic experience: Dr.Steve Inaba is the best of the best. If you are searching for an incredible Rolfing experience, search no more. You will be amazed how your body uniquely responds to his treatment. I have been telling everyone about him and you will want to do the same!!
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr. Lawrence Chan at Integrative for over 10 years. I am always astounded at his insights, and his unfailing passion and compassion. Front desk staff and staff in the lab are friendly and helpful. I always leave with a smile - a sign of having been in a good place.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Integrative Naturopathic Medical Centre has always been wonderful. The doctors, lab staff and dispensery personal are very professional and genuinely care about their patients.
Fantastic experience: The best.
Fantastic experience: I am impressed with the care and treatment I am receiving at integrative.Dr Brown is very skilled and knowledgeable and helping me heal with a serious back/pelvis problem.My only critique is that I would find it helpful to have more communication from the doctor to help understand my particular long healing process.
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for responsible and respectful care that looks at the whole picture of a person and addresses causes not just treats symptoms this may be the place for you as it has been for me. From the first visit Dr Hal Brown got to work doing adjustments and various assessments some of which made an immediate difference, others would take time with treatment. But positive changes happened. This was not only in my opinion, but other healthcare providers, family and friends were noticing too. Dr Brown's combination of training, skills and experience brought refreshing insight to my medical care. All the ways I had envisioned medical care would be when I needed it were found here in one place streamlining many appointments to one clinic where other practitioners also became involved in various specialized capacities to assist Dr Brown. When it is remembered that a patient is a person who has to figure out how to live despite residual effects of injury and illness there is a foundation of respect, hope and trust to build on. I feel fortunate to have found Dr Hal Brown, Dr Alex Chan, Dr Katie Leah and nutritionist Keyrsten McEwan who have all made a positive difference to my health and therefore my life. My only regret is that I didn't find them sooner. My one wish is that medicare dollars could be spent on types of care at the discretion of the patient for what is a fit for them as mine would surely be spent here. Until then I willingly and appreciatively pay out of my own pocket for that which actually works and makes a difference.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic natural health clinic! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful clinic, friendly and helpful staff, appointments are punctual and Dr. Leah is amazing!
Fantastic experience: I’ve seen a few of the practitioners at Integrative and they are all amazing, highly skilled and very intuitive!
Fantastic experience: I see Dr Leah and she is the best! I would, and do, recommend her to everyone!
Fantastic experience: I can run again! I saw Dr. Jam Caleda at Integrative for Platelet Rich Plasma therapy after tearing my MCL. Although the injection process itself isn't exactly a party, the benefits are permanent and super effective. I am thrilled I found this place.
Positive experience: All in, very happy. I did have to wait about 3/4 of an hour for last appointment.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding place to receive integrated care by a team. I had one of my children tested for food sensitivities and I gained a whole new insight about his diet, resulting in him feeling much better.
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr. Alex Chan for about 3 months now, and it's been wonderful! I started seeing Alex for a very bad skin flare-up (my face, especially my eyes, were swollen for 3 months straight) and she cleared 80% of it up within the first month. She's very thorough, spends the necessary time with you, and plans your treatments specifically to what your body needs and towards your wellness goals. In one session, treatments can range from acupuncture to chiropractic to bio-meridian food sensitivity testing to this leg-lifting thing she does (to figure out what supplements work best with your problems; it sounds silly but it works!). Albeit their prices are higher than some other Naturopathic clinics and in comparison to seeing a regular MD, it's worth the price if you want to be in good health and do it the holistic way! Recently started seeing Dr. Karen Lam as well for acupuncture - she knows what she's doing and does it well.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Leah has helped me tremendously with my various health issues over the years that I have been seeing her. Not one time that she rushed the appointment, and in many cases, she spent adequate time listening to my concerns and explaining to me the how's and why's of my problems. Dr. Leah is a very caring, attentive and knowledgeable doctor. I am very glad to have found her. Coming to the clinic is always a pleasant experience as well. The front counter staff are very nice, helpful and professional. They always greet you with a smile the minute you walk in..
Fantastic experience: A friend recommended Integrative Naturopathic Medical Centre to me a few years ago and I have since recommended it to several of my friends and colleagues. The staff are friendly and helpful, and Dr. Chan is an excellent practitioner who truly cares about the health of his patients.
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful place! Professional and caring staff! Larry Chan has helped me so much ! Highly recommend the clinic !
Fantastic experience: For more than twenty years, Larry Chan has always been so caring, so knowledgeable, so warm and so careful with us, we keep him really close. We consider him part of our family now.
Fantastic experience: Very courteous and professional environment. Dr. Brown is an experienced health practitioner in various modalities. He helped resolve my shoulder problem with prolotherapy and I’m very grateful!
Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Integrative Naturopathic Medical Centre since 1995. My practitioner Dr. Hal Brown has been one of the most important factors in the maintenance of my health, as a naturopath, chiropractor, educator and friend. It's impossible for me to stress how much he has contributed to both my, and my wife's life and health. Not sure where we'd be without Hal and his extraordinary breadth of knowledge and insight. When anyone asks me for a recommendation I say, go see Hal, he's legendary and the best!

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr Hal Brown at Integrated since 1986. He's the best, and the Centre is excellent. Give them a try! You won't be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: I have always found Integrative front office staff to be very friendly and helpful along with everyone in their Vitamin store and Skin specialists. The service of my naturopath doctor has been excellent as I have continued as his patient for over 15 years.
Fantastic experience: A caring and professional office I'm always happy to visit.
Fantastic experience: By far, this is the best chiropractic, naturopathic, wellness centre in Vancouver. The physicians are phenomenal as are the supporting staff.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful for the work that dr Hal Brown did to eliminate my vertigo which i had for the past 5 years. He has a lot of experience and is very personable, he thinks outside the box and is committed to finding solutions. thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and pleasant staff. This team was able to give me the answers to my health problems, something I haven't received anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: I am very happy I found Integrative Naturopathic Medical Centre when I moved to Vancouver four years ago. I see Dr. Leah to be proactive about my health and have barely had a sniffle. The staff are friendly and the dispensary is very convenient. I also get facials with Nicola - always come out with a glow.
Fantastic experience: They have helped immensely with my autoimmune disease. I found the food sensitivity test very accurate and useful.
Fantastic experience: Message from C Day. Dr. Karen Lam is awesome. She was the key piece to my recovery from a car accident a few years ago. She knows where my troubled spots are before I tell her.
Positive experience: Integrative is a one-stop health centre with dedicated professionals and comprehensive care. They have an on-site naturopathic pharmacy and multiple strategies to get you back into your best shape. The cross-disciplinary professionals consult to devise your best course of care. I was constantly tired and after eight weeks following their program, I was back to my old self. Occasionally, their appointments run late and this can be inconvenient - which is the only reason I'm not giving them a five star rating. I've recommended them multiple times to friends.
Hi Marta, Thank you for your kind words! We really appreciate it!
Positive experience: A great atmosphere and very experienced staff!
Fantastic experience: Rolfing Massage Therapist Steven Inaba at Integrative Naturopathic Medicine Centre is my medicine! He works very intuitively and is a master at manipulating and releasing my tight muscles and myofacaical tissue. I’ve seen dozens of other practitioners of various therapies including massage, acupuncture, physiotherapy, chiropractor, Bowen therapy and Raki. Steven has given me the most effective and lasting pain relief I’ve ever experienced in the past ten years for my auto-immune/fibromyalgia symptoms.
Fantastic experience: Love this clinic! Dr. Posen is a wizard. And I love Integrative’s little pharmacy and other services like allergy testing and so on. It all weaves together beautifully.
Fantastic experience: Excellent massage by Stephan! Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: A wonderful & honest facility which has a variety of treatments for all. Value & Integrity!
Fantastic experience: I feel very well taken care of at Integrative Naturopathic Medical Centre. The staff at professional, and knowledgeable. I like that there is a pharmacy on site.
Fantastic experience: The staff are amazing, very helpful and knowledgeable and Dr. Lam is the greatest!!!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Integrative Naturopathic Medical Center for a long time, to improve my diet, energy and general well being, and I have always been very satisfied with the services I've received. They are caring, and I trust their approach to wellness.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Posen is amazing. He’s helped me a great deal.
Fantastic experience: Dr Hal Brown is very knowledgeable and kind. He is ethical in his practice. I had many health conditions and he was able to address them within those visits (one very serious condition my GP couldn't bother to test for). He is also one of the few doctors qualified to perform neuro and prolotherapy for chronic nerve pain. I have been seeing chiropractors, Acupuncturists, RMTs, Physiatrists, for years and he has been able to give me pain relief in 4 visits. I highly recommend him. He is just fabulous.
Fantastic experience: The front counter staff are always pleasent and it is always a nice surprise that they call me by name when I arrive. Nicola is always ready for me and is never a disappointment. I always look forward to my visits.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Kuczma is wonderful. She takes the time to get to know her patients and is very easy to talk to. I am lucky and grateful to have found her! The front office staff are very friendly and accommodating as well. I highly recommend Integrative Medicine to anyone in need of natural healing.
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful experience coming here is! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The rooms are tastefully done and the view of the city and mountains is fabulous. Dr. Kuczma has been so helpful in my quest for better health.
Fantastic experience: Amazing care and personal attention was delightful. I would recommend Dr Alex for anyone. Their cancer package made treatment easier to get through. Thumbs up for your team!!!
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience here, everyone was very nice and quick to respond! Dr. Alex Chan was amazing!
Fantastic experience: At a point in my health journey where I needed light to find my path forward, I found it here. A friend recommended that I visit the clinic and I’m so thankful she did. The doctors took time and genuine interest in supporting me. In addition to the treatments I received at the clinic, they also encouraged me to implement healing steps at home (in between appointments) through diet, supplements and lifestyle choices. My health has shifted, my outlook about my health has shifted, and I have become an increasingly active participant in my own healthcare team.
Fantastic experience: I have never been so well cared for as I have at Integrative. It is comforting to know that my well being is their priority. From the front desk staff, to the dispensary, to all the doctors (especially Dr. Leah!!) I am in great hands, I have recommended several of my friends and clients and they all agree - this clinic is top-notch.
Fantastic experience: Overall, great services and Dr Martin is very knowledgeable and takes the time to inform his clients too. The Myers Drip or vitamin cocktail is doing wonders for me. As these services are not provincially covered one needs good insurance coverage or pay for these services themselves. I have recommended many others to come here. Great central location.
Hi Nusri, Thank you for your kind words! Unfortunately, Dr. Martin is not a practitioner at Integrative. Did you perhaps mean another practitioner here?
Fantastic experience: Great Clinic to go to. Easy to find and in a good location to get to when using Transit . There are a number of Practitioners and Doctors that specialize to keep you healthy and youthful. The staff are very friendly and accommodating when making appointments . The clinic area is very neat, clean, organized and easily accessible for wheelchairs . I have been going for over 10 years as an addition to my regular GP and have never had a bad experience.
Fantastic experience: wonderful, caring staff, excellent medical professionals, have referred often to this clinic.
Fantastic experience: Dr. I saw was very informative. Clinic professional and clean.
Fantastic experience: wonderful, experienced, professional center. from the gorgeous office to the friendly staff, an overall wonderful experience.
