About me

Dr. Maria Best Mississauga Naturopath~Mississauga and North York Naturopath~

Dr. Maria Wong, ND (Mississauga and North York Naturopath) is a board certified Naturopathic Doctor serving the the areas of Milton, Brampton, Mississauga, Oakville, North York and Thornhill. She is currently practicing in office and virtually at the “Health in Hands Massage Therapy Clinic” in Meadowvale, Mississauga. She also has a virtual practice in North York. As a Naturopath, her practice has a special focus on treating women’s health, hormonal imbalances (PCOS, fertility, menopause, thyroid issues etc…), adrenal fatigue and digestive concerns (SIBO, IBS, Crohn’s, etc…).

In addition to seeing patients, she has a passion for education and giving back to the Naturopathic community, and is an instructor and part-time faculty member at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. 

With over fourteen years of medical experience working in a hospital, Dr. Maria believes in integrative medicine. However, she also understands the frustrations that patients can sometimes experience with the conventional medical system, where the focus is on treating the symptom and not the patient. This sparked her interest to become a Naturopath serving the communities of Mississauga and North York, with a passion for empowering and guiding patients to take control of their own health. She seeks to address each patient’s unique cause of illness, and support the body naturally to allow it to heal.

Dr. Maria’s treatment style involves making manageable diet and lifestyle changes as a sustainable, long-term solution. She uses specialized testing (IgG food sensitivity testing, DUTCH hormone test, SIBO test, full thyroid panel, etc…) to determine the root causes of illnesses. She also uses adjunctive therapies such as acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbs, nutritional supplementation and hydrotherapy to help speed the healing process.

In her spare time, Dr. Maria can be found rock climbing, doing yoga or on a hiking adventure around the world. (The picture on the home page is from a trip in Patagonia :))
