About Us
A Culture of Healing
Optimal Health Collective is a health clinic based in Burnaby, British Columbia. At our health and wellness center, we cultivate a culture of healing. This involves not just medicine, but most importantly the bond between science and deep rooted research. We start the healing process by assessing the whole patient and making the connection between the obvious and not so obvious symptoms. In this way, we can address the root cause (or causes) of the problem.
We want to heal and empower you to be your best — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Our Team
Optimal Health Collective’s team is made up of brilliant individuals committed to helping you achieve your goals toward better health. With years of expertise across various specialties, our practitioners provide personalized, high-quality care.
