Testimonials

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!

I have known Heather for over 10 years. She is a very professional practitioner who always puts the needs of her clients at the foremost of her practice. She is a very caring and thoughtful person who will always thoroughly address your concerns. Heather is a very knowledgeable and experienced practitioner!

Heather does my Botox in my forehead and frown lines .It always looks perfect! She is so kind and professional. I’ve sent some friends her way for weight loss and she’s a miracle worker.

If I could give Heather 10 stars, I would. I recently turned 50 and for several years now I have experienced hot flashes. In the last couple of years I noticed my zest for life was gone. I just thought it was from stress running a business kids wedding etc. Brain fog – feeling completely disconnected, short memory loss. Unable to find the right word. This year my inability to sleep really started to create problems for me. I was more than irritable ?. I came to conclusion I really only liked dogs! ? I decided to look in to hormone replacement therapy, after seeing my doctor and being told I was normal for my age I was disappointed. A friend recommended Heather and I thought ok, I at least need to sleep. I made the appointment and Heather said I can help you! ? After some lab work she decided on the course of therapy for me. It’s been 1 month and I feel like I did when I was 30! Please do not wait to get help for the symptoms I described. Call Heather. She is absolutely amazing.

We needed a rapid COVID test for one of our kids and couldn’t have had a better experience with SunCoast Optimal Wellness. They scheduled us promptly, provided carside service, and were so calm and friendly to my nervous kiddo. Thank you for being a calming presence for us in a hectic time!

Heather and her staff are amazing. Heather is so easy to talk to, knowledgeable about hormones and is truly passionate about helping women. After a lab review, Heather promptly put me on the hormones I need and after a month, I feel like I am back to my normal self again! Dionne is also fantastic in making sure all my labs are put in, the pharmacy gets my prescription or anything else I need. Thank you all for everything

Heather Slusher at SunCoast Optimal Wellness in Apollo Beach. She’s amazingly knowledgeable.

Suncoast Wellness 230 Harbor Village Ln Apollo Beach FL Mirabay Shopping PLaza 813-645-2003 ask for Heather Slusher, she is amazing!

Heather and her professional staff provide a happy and relaxed smooth experience. All my appointments have been timely and always educational. I would recommend her services to anyone without hesitation.

We absolutely LOVE Suncoast Optimal Wellness. Heather, Dionne and the staff are amazing – they actually listen!! How many 50 plus people have had physician’s tell them that it’s normal to wake up fuzzy, to have body aches, headaches, loss of libido due to age and to have all of the symptoms of menopause with NO action plan. My husband and I are both patients but I say that with a giggle because we are part of the Suncoast family. A wide array of services for pretty much anything that ails you! I was so sick of having Doctor’s tell me this is life after 55. Today, I’m down 30 pounds, exercise every day and living my best life at 58. Thank you Suncoast!!

Heather is amazing, she will have you feeling 10 years younger within 30 days.

I made an appointment with Heather to discuss HRT as I was struggling with menopausal symptoms that negatively affected my work and home life. 4 months later, I now feel like my old self only better and the extra pounds I had gained over the years are gone. I didn’t think I would ever feel this good again!

Super happy with Heather and Mark. I have been struggling with a diet plan and weight goals and they made it so easy. I had talked to other about medical weight loss and it was all about a shot and a pill. Heather looked beyond that and discussed foods and various options. Give them call and you won’t regret it.

The turning point of belief and trust was when the Nurse Practitioner, Heather Slusher, personally called my cell phone, out of the blue, before the upcoming scheduled follow up visit to discuss the blood work. The Nurse Practitioner mentioned that she got the bloodwork lab results back and had studied the results. She also said that it was her goal to help me feel better, lose weight, and help get me off unessesary different medications that I am currently taking. I was totally shocked. I never received a phone call from any of my previous doctors. In the past, it always seemed like clockwork that every time I went to a doctor, I always received an additional medication of something, It was “Try this, lets see how this works on you”, creating a full bin of medications. Did I really need all those medications? Well, it has been a few weeks after the incredible follow up visit to go over my lab work. Mrs. Slusher and I went over so many things to list here. We came up with a plan and goal. I was ready mentally to do this. Since, I have lost almost 10 lbs, slowly gaining energy, and still going. I am beginning to feel better both physically and mentally and will only go to SunCoast Optimal Wellness from now on.

I came to Suncoast Optimal Wellness for help with Fluoroquinolone toxicity and I am so glad I found this team. Heather’s expertise and guidance has been an integral part of my healing journey. The entire Suncoast team is wonderful to work with and I greatly appreciate their empathy, skill and professionalism. After seeing numerous doctors, it was great to find a place where they were aware and specialized in treating antibiotic toxicity holistically. The Acoustic Wave therapy was especially effective in healing my damaged feet and achilles. I went from barely shuffling from room to room, to walking and driving within the first 5 treatments. Without Suncoast I do not think I would have healed as quickly or completely as I have. I will definitely continue to see Heather for my current and future health needs.

After my initial visit and labs I knew I was in good hands. Once I started my regimen within a week I was feeling a 100% better. I kept telling my primary doctor that I just didn’t feel right but they insisted my labs were perfect and that it was just due to aging. That didn’t sit well with me since I workout on the regular eat an extremely healthy diet. I knew there was something deeper going on. So I booked an appointment with Suncoast Optimal Wellness and the rest is history. My labs came back and they did need a little adjusting. We tweaked my vitamins and added some and now I feel amazing once again. Thank you Heather Slusher for helping me feel myself again.

Dr. Heather and her staff are super friendly and very professional. Heather is very thorough and takes her time with her patients. I highly recommend this group!

So I don’t often pimp a business but recently I decided to work on my health aka my fat you know what!
I started 90 plus days ago
Heather and Melissa have absolutely helped go from 270 to 238, from a full blown diabetic to no longer diabetic and ending the long train of pills. They have been Very Supportive and huge cheerleaders. Highly recommend these Girls!

I required extensive labs and an overall health (physical/mental) evaluation for HRT and weight loss. The care and services I have received, along with the professional support has been second to none. The staff are extremely proficient and caring. I have been with them for 9 months now and have experienced a vast improvement in my overall health.

This wellness center is so imperative to have in 2021. Heather helped me so much with my hormones and I love all the other services they offer.

Heather and her team are AMAZING!! My first appointment was over an hour long. She came in with my medical history form highlighted and many questions. For the first time I felt that my concerns were heard and acknowledged. When I honestly thought weight loss surgery was my only option, she gave me hope that I could make it happen with out surgery. After 4 months I feel better than I have in years.

Excellent and knowledgeable care! Helpful follow up advice and always available for questions. Staff is very organized, committed, friendly and respectful.

I highly recommend SunCoast Optimal Wellness. Heather is so thorough and actually listens to my concerns. Just in one month, I feel so much better with the hormones that are compounded specifically for my personal needs and have lost some weight, too. I will definitely continue with SunCoast!!

It was YEARS of labs that kinda maybe were borderline, “but let’s just wait and see” doctors. Meeting Heather and then engaging her as one of my principle health care providers has brought me health and life! Back from the brink of Hashimoto’s to living life fully with labs that are fabulous! I would recommend you send your past lab results to Heather Slusher and at least have an initial consultation with her. Over the phone is perfectly fine. Best thing I did for me about 3 or 4 years ago.

Heather and staff are amazing. Their approach to weight loss is aggressive and produces results

I wanted to share my amazing experience at Suncoast Optimal Wellness here in Apollo Beach. I just had a checkup and realized how far I have come since going there so I felt compelled to share, even though this is a personal journey. I went to my first appointment in July 2021. I had low energy, moodiness, anxiety, depression. I could not lose weight (keto/working out did not move the scale) and I had an upset stomach almost daily. Heather Slusher pretty much saved my quality of life! Within a few weeks I felt a huge difference in my mood, my stomach issues and my energy. I have lost 40 lbs in a year (have not done any significant workouts other than walking my dog), my energy and mood are best they have ever been, anxiety is low. Hormones and vitamins, no fad this or that. Highly, highly recommend!

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

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.

I walked into the office today with a greeting of, good morning skinny minny….I can’t thank Heather FS and her team at SunCoast Optimal Wellness enough for all their help with reaching my weight and health goals!!!

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.

Heather and her team are great! The knowledge and compassion they all possess always make me feel at ease when I go to her office.

Heather and Melissa are amazing! They have helped me lose 60lbs. I feel great thanks to them!

I started seeing Dr. Heather over a year ago, convinced that my hormones were completely out of balance. I was dealing with extreme mood swings, high anxiety, skin issues, hot flashes, night sweats, a drastically low sex drive, and had even lost 50% of my hair—just to name a few symptoms.

Over the past year, Dr. Heather has been incredibly patient and thorough, continually adjusting my compounded hormones until we found the perfect balance. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I finally feel like myself again. It’s an incredible relief to wake up each day and simply feel normal. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone struggling with hormonal imbalances—she truly changed my life!

Heather Slusher at Suncoast wellness was excellent at sending me to a doc to get scans for the swelling that turned out to be deadly clots. Luckily I had been seeing her for diet changes which made my healing protocol much easier to adapt to. Those diet and hormone changes most likely made the damage less by the time we found out.

Heather & her team are the absolute best!! I recommend everyone come and see her! I started with her over 2 years ago and she has helped me immensely. Starting on Hrt has changed my life along with a change in my diet and physically challenging myself. I’ve added years on to my life along with changing my whole physique. Heather & her team have encouraged me the whole time like they were family. I’m so glad to have them local. Thank you for all the support!
