How McSara works
Naturopathic care begins with one question: why is this happening? We look for the answer, and we build your care around it.
We listen
Your first consultation is a real conversation about your health, your history and your daily life.
We test
We order laboratory tests where they are needed and review the results you already have.
We plan with you
You get a clear plan, with the reason behind every step, and we follow up.
We refer when needed
We refer you promptly when you need surgery. Emergencies are outside our practice.
Our care is guided by six principles. Read our philosophyor see how we work.

Experiences at McSara
Shared with permission. Individual experiences vary, and results cannot be guaranteed.
Before coming to McSara Naturopathic Clinic, I was experiencing severe pelvic pain that made walking extremely difficult. ... What I appreciated was that my assessment went beyond my pelvic symptoms. My metabolic health and other potential contributing factors were also evaluated. ... I followed the protocol strictly as advised, and my improvement was better and faster than I had imagined. I was also educated about my condition, the possible reasons behind my pain, and how my lifestyle could be contributing to it. ... What I value most is that I now understand why maintaining healthier lifestyle choices matters.
I had been experiencing a persistent headache that wasn't responding to the simple things I had tried. ... When the doctor noticed I was uncomfortable, he took time to ask questions about more than just my headache. He explored my sleep, appetite, emotional wellbeing and what had been happening in my life. After listening to me and considering my situation, he suggested acupuncture. ... Within approximately five to ten minutes, I began to notice significant relief from the headache. I remember saying, 'Doctor, I can't feel that pain again!' ... That experience gave me a deeper appreciation of naturopathic care. It helped me understand that health involves more than the symptoms we present with, and that understanding the individual is an important part of providing personalised care.
