Dr. Nicole Wong, (formerly Dr. Nicole Tortora) offers a refined, integrative approach to modern naturopathic medicine—one that blends clinical excellence with warm, human-centered care. Her practice is rooted in understanding the full picture of her patients’ health: hormones, metabolism, digestion, stress, sleep, and the subtle ways each system influences the next.
Her philosophy is simple: when patients feel supported and deeply understood, meaningful healing follows.
Dr. Wong works extensively with patients experiencing:
• hair loss
• hormonal imbalances
• perimenopause and menopause concerns
• weight management and metabolic conditions
as well as those seeking a holistic, sustainable approach to long-term health.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Wong loves being a mom to her son, Cooper, and spending time with her family. She enjoys exploring new neighbourhoods (always stopping for a sweet treat), catching up on reality TV, and going for walks.
Born and raised in Burnaby/New Westminster, Dr. Wong graduated from St. Thomas More Collegiate in 2011 before completing her Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Liberal Arts Certificate at Simon Fraser University, where she received a full-ride entrance scholarship. During her time at SFU, she contributed to a research publication on gene expression in preeclampsia. She later earned her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Vancouver, receiving awards from her supervisors and instructors for clinical and academic excellence. During her final years at CCNM Vancouver, Dr Wong had the privilege of precepting under Dr Allana Polo which deeply inspired Dr Wong's personal style and approach to patient care.
In the first three years of her practice, Dr. Wong worked extensively in the diagnosis and treatment of hair loss, completing additional training with medical doctors, dermatologists, trichologists, and hair-transplant specialists. This work highlighted the profound interconnectedness of the body—how a single symptom, such as hair loss, can stem from a wide range of underlying causes. Through this lens, her practice naturally expanded to treating a myriad of related conditions like hormone imbalances, iron deficiency, thyroid disorders, menopause and andropause, insomnia and weight loss.
She is beyond excited to bring her expertise back to Polo Health + Longevity and work alongside her long-time mentor Dr Polo.
