About Margo

Margo’s Clinic in Toronto has been offering traditional Chinese treatments for conditions ranging from impotence to smoking addiction for over two and a half decades. Margaryta Goncharenko opened her practice in 2002, which she currently operates at 248 Shuter St. Toronto, ON. M5A 1W2.

Meet Margaryta Goncharenko (Margo)

Before introducing Toronto to the many benefits of acupuncture, Margo, known to her clients and associates as “Margo,” trained as a physician in Ukraine. After graduating from Zaporozhye State Medical University, she opened a family practice, which she ran for six years. Margo then decided to study cardiology and radiology in Kyiv, where she worked as a radiologist. In 1986, after the Chernobyl disaster, she took an active part in the relief effort as a radiologist, travelling frequently between Zaporozhye and Kyiv and personally decontaminating people evacuated from the disaster zone to Zaporozhye. In the years that followed, she lost many colleagues to cancer. That experience shaped her lifelong focus on prevention and daily habits. She began practising intermittent fasting around that time and has kept it up ever since. When it suits a patient, she includes guidance on it in their dietary plan, for example in her weight loss program. She later went to a Medical University in Mongolia to study acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine.

Margo is fluent in Ukrainian and Russian and also sees patients in English, so you can describe your symptoms and ask questions in the language you are most comfortable with.

She has since been combining the best aspects of Eastern and Western medical philosophies to help her patients live better lives. Margo is a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Registered Acupuncturist (R. TCMP, R. Ac) with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO), registration no. 1267, and keeps her acupuncture knowledge current through continuing education courses and seminars. Margo has been on the cutting edge of medical science since she began the profession and works tirelessly to stay on top of developing advances in acupuncture therapy and medical science. All of her treatment plans are individualized and include dietary and lifestyle recommendations to help each client reach their personal goals.
