Zentai Wellness Center

Dr. Trotter is excellent at what he does. I’ve never felt pressured to try and fit into some «ideal» or to purchase any supplements or other products. He focuses on what the individual needs to obtain optimal health including diet and lifestyle. That said, he is practical in his approach to helping you achieve overall health and all suggestions he makes consider the entire person. I see Dr. Trotter as a partner in my health care team!

I have been putting a focus on my health for the last few years due to some concerns that were affecting my day-​to-​day functioning, and found the perfect complement to motivating me and helping to optimize my health through the guidance of Dr. Makoto Trotter at Zentai Wellness Centre last fall.
The location is very convenient, and a very calm «zen» atmosphere, as the name suggests, and the receptionists are always sure to offer you a selection of tea when you come in for your visit… A great start to a wellness treatment!
I can’t speak more highly for how Dr. Trotter has helped me address my health concerns from a drug-​free natural approach, and assisted me to feel more energetic and more optimistic about my future health as I age.
His initial exam is very thorough, and I didn’t feel rushed as I do at my GP’s office to explain all my concerns — even though my GP only allows me one complaint per visit! Dr. Trotter gets to know every aspect of your health and helped me to connect the dots between my various symptoms to determine the root of my issues. He is knowledgeable and caring, and made me feel comfortable and listened to when discussing details of my digestive issues and perimenopausal symptoms.
He has tests available that are not available at your MD that can better assess your hormone and digestive health. He is open about costs — thankfully tests were covered by my health plan — and working within your budget.
I thought I was eating a typical «healthy» diet before, but Dr. Trotter has guided me to a realistic long-​term truly healthy diet, that has improved my overall well-​being and corrected my digestion and hormone concerns, and even allows for cheat days to make it manageable. I did not realize how easy it can be to eat well, and he will give you the tools and resources to make it achievable.
Can’t say enough for Dr. Trotter’s care, as it has allowed me to enjoy life again and not just deal with and dismiss my symptoms as a part of «getting old»!

I saw Dr. Makoto Trotter a few times, and although I think he’s very personable, I wouldn’t recommend going there for actual treatment. He didn’t seem very knowledgeable, and ultimately didn’t help me one bit with any of my issues. Other reviewers of Makoto have said that he seemed more like a salesman, and I agree. He makes you quite uncomfortable by constantly pushing to sell his supplements. Often assuming that you are already buying it as he is «recommending» his product. I blew hundreds of dollars on useless tests and supplements, and that’s after declining a whole bunch of other useless products that he «recommended» (i.e., adds it to your bill as you walk out unless you specifically decline).

Prior to visiting Zentai Wellness, I was having digestive problems that could be classified as irritable bowel symtoms. Before providing me a regiment to deal with these issues, Makoto sat with me to really understand what my daily eating and lifestyle habits were. I liked this approach because it tried to identify the causes of some my symptoms and to try and cut them out first before providing a means to treat the symptoms. This has led to big changes in terms of how/​what I eat, the suppliments I take, and today I am 30 pounds lighter and stronger-​irritable bowel symtoms are virtually non existent. I have also learned alot in regards to nutrition and supplements and how they can help me fight illnesses such as the common cold to high blood pressure. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic naturopathic care can be found here at the hands of Dr’s Makoto and Aileen Trotter. They’re both incredibly intelligent, caring, empathetic, and resourceful. Their approach is holistic, and they tailor recommendations based on their patient’s needs and wants. As a chiropractor, I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to my patients and friends, and have been using their services for myself and my family for years now.
