I was looking at giving TCM a try for some issues but not knowing much about it how would i know who is good or who isn't. So, is there something i should look for when seeking out a TCM place? Or if some of you know reputable places in the Toronto area that you can direct me to i'd appreciate it.

Simple effort!
a. Find a place accredited by the local authorities
b. Has a good pass rate for exam(s)
c. Go to the facility, ask questions, see if you can view a class or other training
d. By this junction, you have made some type of informed decision.

Hey Brule

Legit tcm-ists have accreditation and certifications.
Ask to see them.

Having said that, here are some legit places you could try. Remember that any doctor patient relationship is about the relationship too. You might have to find someone and somewhere that you are comfortable, even if you use a regular doctor.

anyway, here's some links:

The top link for Dr. Susan Hu is trained in China and Certified in Canada. They all hold certificates to practice in Canada and degrees in the healing arts.

Thanks for the info David. That's what i was looking for. Not knowing anything about TCM i don't want to end up somewhere that got their license from a cracker jack box.
