Who we are
Hillcrest Centre for Health is an ethnically diverse, community focused, naturopathic health clinic and herbal dispensary. We offer a full spectrum of safe and high quality services such as consultations with board certified naturopaths, certified nutritionists, acupuncture and vitamin IV therapy in the vibrant St. Clair West community in Toronto.
The Journey of Hillcrest Centre for Health
Alex Hurtado and his wife Flor established a small herbal dispensary and iridology practice in Toronto in 1992. Initially, they served the Hispanic community; however, their clientele grew steadily over the years. In 1996, this growth led them to create Centro Naturista Guatavita.
In 2008, their daughter Alexandra Hurtado graduated as a Naturopathic Doctor and took over as the clinic director. She expanded the dispensary and rebranded it as Hillcrest Centre for Health, a full-service wellness centre and natural health dispensary.
Since then, the center has grown in popularity, and in response to patient demand, a new location was opened in Mississauga in 2012, Clarkson Family Naturopathic.
The Hurtado family has always been passionate about serving the community and helping others.
Thank you for your continued support! It means more people can get the help they need.

Nurturing Mind, Body, and Beyond
At Hillcrest Centre for Health, we advocate for a holistic approach to wellness. We go beyond addressing merely the physical and mental aspects of individuals; we also prioritize nurturing healthy relationships, fostering vibrant communities, and promoting a sustainable environment
Our Mandate
- Fostering community: We believe that healthy communities are a contributing factor to healthy individuals. Through the implementation of our information centre we strive to become a place where residents can drop by and check the bulletin board for local events, pick up a local paper, drop by to ask a question or even just to say hello.
- Providing professional advice on health and natural products: With new health products hitting the market every day it is easy for consumers to get overwhelmed. Our naturopaths have carefully selected our supplement lines keeping in mind environmental considerations, quality, efficacy and cost. Our goal is to support the consumer in making an informed decision in all aspects relating to health
- Offering personalized health solutions: We don't agree with a cookie-cutter approach to health, we believe that to achieve the best results recommendations must be tailored to the individual! At the Hillcrest Centre for Health we ensure that all treatments are customized to the needs of each individual patient.
