The Toronto Clinic was founded by Dr. Fabio Varlese 10 years ago with the focus on Corporate Executive Health Care, emphasizing the importance of prevention, wellness and integrative care of the highest level by designing a comprehensive health program which is now the hallmark of the Clinic’s success.

 

Dr. Varlese is an Internist and Geriatrician with a Faculty appointment at the University of Toronto in the

Division of Internal Medicine and Geriatrics, Department of Medicine. Dr. Varlese has dedicated his life to the optimization of medical care and wellness of the frail elderly who are often affected by the life changing conditions of dementia and Parkinson’s.

 

Dr. Varlese and Steve Ludzik had the opportunity to meet a few years back during a presentation on the future of stem cell therapy and its potential impact on those who have experienced a traumatic brain injury resulting in Parkinsonism. Fortunately, a friendship was established and a common interest identified. This connection launched the collaborative efforts between the Steve Ludzik Parkinson’s Specialty Clinic in association with The Toronto Clinic and The Steve Ludzik Foundation Niagara in supporting individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s and their families.

 

In collaboration with the Steve Ludzik Foundation, Dr. Varlese is in the process of establishing the Parkinson’s Specialty Clinic which will be housed at The Toronto Clinic.

 

Through this clinic Dr. Varlese and his team aim to give back to the community by improving access to specialized Parkinson’s Care while implementing a novel wellness approach for patients in the community living with Parkinson’s.
