I am extatic that I found The Art of Life Health Care Centre in my search for a comprehensive health care facility. The staff are the ultimate professionals. They welcomed me with kindness and respect. My treatments were tailored to my specific needs. They offer naturopathic, chiropractic, homeopathic, physiotherapy, and other comprehensive health care treatments. I primarily dealt with Dr. Gerus. My confidence was boosted knowing that she is a medical, as well as a naturopathic doctor. She is kind, patient, and took the time to listen to my health concerns. She did an in-depth compilation of my medical history and proved to be exceptionally knowledgeable and meticulous in her scope and delivery of the holistic treatments, which reflect her depth and love of her profession. I have never felt so comfortable with any doctor or so well supported. I completely and without a doubt recommend the services of The Art of Life. I am looking forward to using the services which are offered at this centre, even though I live at the opposite end of the city.

I was very pleased with the service at The Art of Life. Dr Mila Gerus spent over an hour with me on two visits and took the time to fully understand my health history. She was very knowledgeable and caring. Provided excellent advice. And all the staff at the clinic were friendly and attentive.

The Art for Life is my selected health centre, not only because they have the best clinicians with large expertise, but because their specialists are the best I’ve been to in Toronto in the last four years. I would like to mention in particular the treatment indicated by their doctor for several body ailments: arthritis pain, muscular injuries, shoulder tendonitis, back pain, various tendinopathies. After their doctor introduced me to the Shockwave Therapy the pains I had went away after few treatments, it’s like a miracle she was performing. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to mention her name here, but if you call the clinic, you’ll find her and you’ll get her advice if the treatment can be applied in your case. I’m not a professional but I can confirm that it worked in my cases. I would also like to thank the staff, I appreciate every of your efforts to accommodate your clients’ needs. Thank you, Art for Life, for being committed to making life better.
