About Us
Medify is your home
for optimal health
Born through two decades of experience in the conventional and integrative medical systems,
Medify is your home for optimal health.
Medify offers a choice of public or private family practice. Each practice has a strong focus on health prevention and optimization. The principles are grounded in a holistic and individualized approach to the human body, while utilizing the scientific principles of the modern medical system.
Both services meet the rigorous standards of the Canadian healthcare system, however the Optimum program adds in extra layers, including extended length doctor's visits, an executive annual physical, health coaching, and integrative medicine principles to make the medical experience fully complete.
The goal of Medify is to create a warm and inviting space, where patients can explore their health in depth with a trusted medical team. Our patients have the comfort of being well connected to the medical system, while knowing that they have the time and space to develop a deeper understanding of their unique body.
