Don't forget to check under the recommended physician post at the top of the Canadian forum.
Or even try searching for "Naturopath" under the search function at the top of each forum page.
The other option is to check out some of the fertility websites like this one and see if any of the women there have any suggestions, as many women turn to alternative therapies when traditional ones don't work for them.
Good Luck!

I have done this as well.
I was looking for an actual referral from a human being that has actually been to some clinic and they have something good to say about the clinic and they've actually had success with treating PCOS.
When you say "treating PCOS" can you be more specific? Are you TTC or looking for treatment for some other aspect of PCOS?
As far as fertility treatments and PCOS, I'm waiting on a referral to the Centre for Fertility and Reproductive Health at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto (http://www.mountsinai.on.ca/care/fertility). I have heard good things about it. In the same building is the Family Fertility Clinic where I am seeing an acupuncturist, but I believe they have naturopaths available there too (http://www.familyfertility.ca/index.html). I have been very happy with my treatment there so far.

No, I'm not trying to conceive, I'm simply trying to lose weight and balance my hormones.
I'm looking for a clinic where I could see a doctor and a naturopath, a clinic where they both work together.

I'm not aware of any...but would be interested to hear if such a thing exists! I find it's rare that a Dr. trained in western medicine will be open to other holistic practices. My current RE is very good, I like her a lot; but she is a very traditional western Dr. (Dr. Sheila Laredo, PCOS Clinic, Women's College Hospital). She is okay with me going to see an acupuncturist or any other practitioner I want to see, but I can tell she is not that convinced about it's efficacy. Good luck in your search!

I know they exist, but I was hoping that someone may have a referral to one.......I guess not.
I don't understand why doctors can't be more open minded when it comes to different treatments.....it would make all our lives alot easier !
There are so many options and treatments but when a doctor won't work with a naturopath or vice versa, then your options become limited.
Can anyone recommend a Clinic in the Toronto area ??
