(He/Him/His)
ND, CNP, BBA
Dr. Al Vieira is a Naturopathic Doctor licensed in Ontario who earned a doctorate at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. In addition, he has a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and is both a Holistic Nutritionist and an Iridologist.
His journey with natural healing started 10 years ago when he had a life scare. Taking advantage of and using the best of both conventional methods and the naturopathic approach combined, he was able to manage the disease. After witnessing the power of the natural approach and its undeniable results, he was very motivated to get a more formal education in Natural Medicine. At that point, he knew that he had to change his career and life altogether.
His goal as a doctor is to support patients who are experiencing pain or discomfort – whether it be physical or emotional. His approach is to identify root causes and provide treatments using evidence-based medicine. The treatments would be designed specifically for you. He truly believes in empowering the body to do what it knows best- and that is to heal. Ultimately, the treatments would support and enable you to live a more vibrant, energetic, and rewarding life.
Al Vieira speaks English and Portuguese fluently and is progressing with his Spanish-speaking skills. Al is very happy to be able to serve the community, he will be seeing patients in the Toronto area.

Dr. Nadine Kexel ND
Hi, I am Nadine Kexel, Naturopathic Doctor.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and minor in Psychology from McMaster University. During my studies, I developed a passion for exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness, leading me to pursue a career in naturopathic medicine.
At the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM), I furthered my interest in holistic health and discovered the significant role naturopathic medicine plays in cancer care. Following graduation, I completed a residency at the Integrative Cancer Centre (ICC), where I focused on supporting cancer patients through various therapies, including nutrition and intravenous therapy. Now, as a licensed naturopathic doctor in Ontario, I am committed to educating patients about their health and providing safe and effective integrative cancer care at Hillcrest Centre for Health. I am an active member of several professional associations, including the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians (OncANP), Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND), and Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND). Outside of work, I enjoy playing soccer and spending time outdoors hiking or biking on nearby trails.
