Testimonials

"I brought my son, who had eczema (i.e. atopic dermatitis), to Dr. Yik because my husband and I wanted a doctor to address the root causes of his skin condition, not give him a corticosteroid cream to suppress it. My three-year-old son's skin was so dry and itchy that he would scratch it until it became raw and weepy. The eczema was mainly on his hands and buttocks. The condition started not long after he was put in daycare, where lunch and snacks were provided for him. Dr. Yik put my son on a nutritious hypoallergenic diet and she gave him nutriceuticals to ensure that all the building blocks for health (and healthy skin!) were in place. My son's skin condition dramatically improved within several weeks. During my pregnancy, I also consulted Dr. Yik for safe, natural alternatives to cold and flu medications. She is a knowledgeable and compassionate naturopathic doctor who will meet the needs of you and your family. I highly recommend her." - Clara Shing, Mother of 3

"I went to see Dr. Yik for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, a condition I've endured since my late adolescence with little to no relief from the symptoms I was experiencing. At that time, I was overweight at 190 pounds, I was suffering from hirsutism (excessive hair growth), my menstrual cycle was erratic and nearly absent, and although I was in good spirits I was also struggling with depression (a common trait of this condition). Dr. Yik's treatment offered insight, help and relief to each of the symptoms I was experiencing. She advised me of dietary recommendations and offered supplements to assist with stagnation, ovulation, menstruation and unwanted hair growth. I am elated to reveal one year later that I've lost over 40 pounds and have seen tremendous improvement in my menstrual cycle. The unsightly and unwanted hair growth has diminished significantly and my diet, health and well-being have never been better. I am very pleased with the results of my experience and especially grateful to Dr. Yik for her support, compassion and naturopathic expertise." - Diana Guadagnoli, Administrative Assistant

"As a full-time university student with learning disabilities, for years I have been plagued with sleep deprivation, depression, low energy, and also had chronic muscle aches and soreness. Needless to say, I was burnt-out to the max. I was then diagnosed with ADHD and received conventional medical treatment for it. But within two months, side-effects from these pharmaceutical drugs made some of my pre-existing conditions ten times worst and even caused respiratory difficulties and restricted my physical mobility and coordination. I also suffered from memory loss and emotional instability. That was when I went to see Dr. Yik for a more holistic treatment for my conditions. Dr. Yik provided individualized treatment that aimed to target the root causes of my problems, whereas all my previous doctors just prescribed drugs to suppress some of my symptoms while being oblivious to others. Thanks to Dr. Yik's expertise and up-to-date knowledge in naturopathic medicine, many of my symptoms are now under control, my energy levels are coming back, and I am now in the process of finishing a master's degree in public administration. Dr. Yik is the most caring doctor I have ever had, she listens patiently and treats her patients with love and compassion." - Hoi Lam Ma, University Student (Graduate Studies)

"I went to see Dr. Yik for migraines, anemia and chronic coughing problems which have bothered me for 20 years.  Over the years, I relied on conventional / Chinese medicine but my health problems couldn’t be alleviated. The headache, fatigue, muscle pains and coughing kept getting worse.  In the worst days, I had to keep off outdoor activities in order not to excite my migraine / fatigue.  Dr. Yik suspected that I was suffering from heavy metal toxicity which she was proven correct after confirmation by a special urine test.  One of the causes might be due to the mercury dental fillings which I've had ever since adolescence.  Dr. Yik then put me under a heavy metal detoxification treatment programme coupled with nutriceutical support.  Miraculously, my migraines started subsiding two months after and now after four months’ treatment, very significant progress is seen.  My migraines' frequency and severity are greatly reduced.  Overall energy levels are boosted and my mind has become clear.  Though my coughing problem continues, I have never felt better than now.  I’m glad that I eventually came to the right doctor with the right treatment.  Many thanks to Dr. Yik for her professional advice and care.   She is always nice to talk with, responsive to patients' enquiries and understanding to patients' problems." - Rosemary Lau, Manager

"I suffered from hemifacial spasms for seven years before I saw Dr. Yik for naturopathic care. I experienced frequent muscle spasms, which distorted one side of my face. I felt very embarrassed and frustrated. I did not want to get surgery done due to its associated risks nor did I want to undergo BOTOX injections for the rest of my life. During the initial consultation, Dr. Yik helped me to realize how stressful I had been in the past few years. She pointed out the connection between stress, the nervous system and my condition. Dr. Yik helped to restore my nervous system and proper nerve function. She also treated my adrenal fatigue, which was a result of chronic stress. Within one month, the spasms were so minor and rare that they no longer bothered me. I'm so glad I went to see Dr. Yik. She helped me to avoid surgery and a lifetime of BOTOX injections!" - Shirley Wong, Accountant
