Dr. Heather has given me my life back. I am a 30F who has struggled with hormone imbalances, low thyroid and anxiety/depression. I was referred to Dr. Heather after hearing she will diagnose/treat based on symptoms and NOT just the range of bloodwork. All of my bloodwork would show me as optimally healthy, while I was suffering intensely with an assortment of symptoms. I started my treatment protocol with Dr Heather at the end of April and I can happily declare that her program has completely healed my hormone imbalances. We are tweaking the thyroid program to get better results but I have all the optimism this will work. In 11 years I have not been able to find a doctor as educated, compassionate and understanding that each body cannot be put within a “normal” range and that be the whole picture. She provides a sense of comfort that you’re getting her undivided attention and that she will not stop researching until she has an answer. I owe her so much, she has truly helped change my life for the better.
Anxiety and depression are being treated through a separate psychiatry provider. In conjunction with heathers treatments I am feeling the best I’ve felt in the last 10 years.
Highest of praises to Dr. Heather, she is worth it.

Dr. Heather Slusher and her office team have been a blessing in my life & have given me tremendous help in the aid of overcoming/recovering from fluoroquinolone toxicity and the lasting damages it has caused me. They are knowledgeable and are very easy to work with!

My story;
I was prescribed by a local urgent care for minor stomach problems a strong antibiotic called "Cipro". I took one pill in the morning and later that day experienced some of the worst symptoms in my life. I found later that the drug had a black box warning from the FDA (which was not disclosed to me by the doctor, practice or pharmacy)! I experienced almost every symptom on the warning with in 24 hours and severe lasting effects days after taking it. Weeks and months went by and it had lasting effects that only got worse. After talking to multiple doctors and extensive research I found people were overcoming the drugs effects on their body with treatment plans that utilized supplements, diet, IVs, red light therapy and more. I found Suncoast Optimal Wellness and Dr. Slusher was mentioned having gone through the struggles of fluoroquinolone toxicity herself & treating Floxed patients with a this type of treatment plan.

If you have taken any fluoroquinolone (common drugs ciprofloxacin, gemifloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, norfloxacin, and ofloxacin) and have experienced any adverse symptoms do not wait another day. Call and make an appointment with an experienced Professional for your recovery like Dr. Heather Slusher and her team right away. DO NOT waste your time or money with doctors that lack the expertise with treating for damages from these drugs.

If you are among the unfortunate individuals that have suffered from this like I have, I hope and pray for your fast recovery. If you're reading this review then it seems some prayers have been answered and you found the place you need to go. God bless.

These guys run a great practice. Great care at transparent prices. And they actually care about improving your health instead of throwing pills at you and calling it a day

Let me just start off with saying…Heather and her whole team are simply amazing!

I went to my PCP, followed by a women’s health MD, followed by a thyroid specialist (PA) who all told me the same exact thing, “your labs are all normal so, there’s really nothing we can do.”

When I finally found Heather a few years ago, she drilled down into the specifics of my labs and helped me get things back in balance again.

I’m so eternally grateful for her attention to every detail. And the bonus factor is - she’s has the most warm demeanor and truly cares about her patients and clients!

P.S. We’ve moved out of Florida and I still Telehealth with her - she’s just that good at what she does! 🥰

Heather is a true professional ! She is treating me for hormone deficiency and since treating me I have improved remarkably. She is personal and often goes above and beyond most doctors. She calls me often to check on me vs. having a staff member call. I love her passion for her patients and her strong work effort. I highly recommend her!

After years of struggle and being told by doctors that “Your lab work shows you’re fine,” I cannot express how amazing it was to finally be taken seriously! From the moment I met Heather Slusher, she sat and listened…truly listened and I could feel that she genuinely cared! She got to the root of the problem and while I am just starting my new regimen, I already feel better, have lost weight, and for the first time in years, I have hope. I cannot recommend Suncoast Optimal Wellness enough!
