Dr. John Bender, BSc, ND, principal at Waterloo Naturopathic Clinic, has been one of the pioneers of naturopathic medicine in Ontario. 

in 1979, he graduated from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon. After he was admitted to practicing naturopathic medicine in Ontario, he furthered his studies under the mentorship of Naturopathic Doctor Arno Koegler, in Waterloo, and eventually took over his practice. Since then Dr. Bender has treated patients of all ages affected with a variety of ailments, from minor colds to severe chronic diseases.
