Members shared their experiences and recommendations for fibromyalgia care in Southern Ontario, with several enthusiastically recommending Dr. Gordon Ko at the Canadian Centre for Integrative Medicine in Markham for his use of Botox injections to treat chronic pain and fibromyalgia. Multiple members praised his forward-thinking approach and caring nature, noting that he teaches other doctors about Botox for various pain conditions beyond migraines and muscle spasms. However, one member described a very different experience with Dr. Ko, expressing frustration over unfulfilled referrals, appointments focused on showing photos of cured patients and discussing juicing trends rather than developing a practical treatment plan, and feeling dismissed when he suggested depression instead of acknowledging fibromyalgia and sent her back to a pain clinic for treatments she had already tried.

@A MyFibroTeam Member Dr Gordon Ko is also with Sunnybrook Hospital. He teaches other doctors/chiropractors on the use of Botox. His own clinic is in Markham called Canadian Centre for Integrative Medicine that specializes in integrative conventional medical treatment with complementary emerging therapies such as platelet rich plasma (pro) & Botox.

Hi Viv, I looked up Dr. Ko and I am impressed with what he's doing. I think I will ask my doctor to refer me to his clinic. Thanks so much!
