“Can’t recommend Dr. Forstbauer and Dr. Lewis enough! I’ve been seeing Dr. Forstbauer on and off for 8 years. Both doctors are warm, caring, and very knowledgeable.”

“Really knowledgeable and caring husband and wife duo. If you’re looking for naturopathic care, I highly recommend their clinic.”

“From the first appointment, I felt genuinely heard not rushed. Dr.Ryan Lewis took the time to understand the root of my concerns instead of just treating symptoms and their approach was thoughtful, knowledgeable and incredibly personalized. What stood out most was how caring and thorough he was, he explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable asking questions and created a plan that felt realistic and supportive. I’ve seen such a positive difference in how I feel and the level of professionalism and compassion is rare to find. If you’re looking for a naturopath who is truly invested in your health and makes you feel cared for every step of the way, Dr. Ryan Lewis and the team are absolutely worth seeing. One of the best healthcare experiences I’ve had in a LONG time.”Read moreShow less

“The staff here is amazing. I always leave smiling. The staff is very friendly and easy to talk to. Dr Lewis is the first doctor who has actually listened to me and for the first time in 7 years I'm almost pain free! PAIN FREE!! Krystal is the first counselor that I've seen who actually listens to me. I have seen seven different counselors in as many years looking for one that I could connect with and really feel comfortable with. In our very first session together she created such a safe space. I'm in absolute awe of her abilities. She is the sweetest most knowledgeable and caring counselor that I have ever spoken to. I have made more progress in the last few months seeing her then I have in my entire life with all the other counselors. I hope I never have to find another counselor. In such a short time I trust her completely and would follow her into fire if she told me to. 😂 Thank you so much Krystal for seeing me, hearing me, and helping me with my sstruggles. You are a diamond in the rough!”Read moreShow less

“If you had suggested a year ago that I try "natural" medicine I would have politely thanked you but silently laughed and used my inner voice to say "as if!" After a year of struggling with an undiagnosed medical issue, a ridiculously high amount of visits to the ER only to be given an injection for the pain but no answers, multiple follow ups with my family doctor all with no answers, suggestions or even a listening ear I decided to try a naturopath doctor and I am so glad I did. Dr Forstbauer took the time to LISTEN to me and asked questions. She offered suggestions that were not wacky or out of this world, you could tell in one meeting that she truly loved her job, cared about my health and wanted to help me move forward with my life. I was able to finally see a surgeon and had major surgery but thanks to the amazing work and support from Dr Forstbauer and Dr Lewis I was able to recover so much faster than expected and have been able to move forward with my life. I highly suggest giving either Dr Forstbauer or Dr Lewis a chance to listen to you. The IV therapies also greatly helped me through a very rough cold and flu season as well as pre and post surgery. Thank you for all that you have done for me and continue to do.”Read moreShow less

“Dr. Lewis and Dr. Forstbauer are fantastic at what they do. They listen carefully, offer options, and are refreshingly ethical (I was having gut trouble and after helping me for months she told me we could keep pursuing options, but she didn’t want to waste my money and that she thought she had done everything she could for me with that issue). I’m a long-time patient of Dr. F’s and I recently experienced a severe bout of anxiety that lasted more than a month. It was so bad I was vomiting with anxiety every morning and nothing seemed to help it. On their recommendation, I tried the mood IV, And over the course of four treatments experienced a Dramatic improvement in my anxiety. Dr. Lewis also figured out that I am unable to absorb B vitamins, which was contributing to my severe anxiety, and help helped me find a solution. I would strongly recommend seek optimal well-being to anyone!”Read moreShow less

“I have had a great experience with Dr. Forstbauer and Dr. Lewis over the past three years. They are both evidence based and great listeners to aid as part of my treatment team. Dr. Foratbauer was even our Doula for our son in May, and we were so thankful to have her for the birthing process. Lastly the Neurofeedback that they offer in clinic has helped me with my mental health and I wish I had heard about the benefits of it sooner!”Read moreShow less

“After several years of ignoring suggestions that I see a therapist to help me deal with some childhood issues, I reluctantly took a recommendation from a friend and arranged to meet Krystal Poge at Seek Optimal. I was skeptical about how anyone could possibly help me cope with the isolation and emptiness that I was feeling, in spite of having a loving husband and very good friends. That should be enough, right? You’d think so, but it wasn’t. I was functioning at a bare minimum in public and totally shutting down at home. My husband and close friends were expressing concern and our family doctor (more than once) recommended counselling. Meeting Krystal has been transformative in my life. She exudes warmth and empathy, and her understanding of the mind/body connection is exceptional. Through her guidance and support, I am now more aware of my feelings and the possible reasons behind them. In addition, Krystal has encouraged me to look at my past through adult eyes and provided me with tools to cope with what I am finding out about myself as we proceed. I am truly grateful that I’ve met Krystal. She has helped me immeasurably and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is struggling. Thank you Krystal!!”Read moreShow less

“As I write this, I have not taken a break since 9:30 AM. I worked from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM and went straight to my therapy appointment afterward. Today, I ate on the go and didn’t have more than a couple of minutes to relax, all while dealing with a stressful situation with my landlord (which I won't go into) and an exceptionally busy workday. Simply put, my mind is exhausted. If you were sitting beside me right now, you could probably smell the burnout. I have not stopped moving, and though I am barely functioning, I feel compelled to write this review because Crystal truly deserves it. I should have written it weeks ago. First, let me say that I was initially a skeptic about therapy. I’ve had three therapists before meeting Crystal, and none of them worked for me. The first therapist was a nice guy, but after 3-4 sessions, I quit. The second therapist only got one session before I walked away, feeling more lost than when I entered. The third was through work, and I only attended because it was free. I had requested a therapist after feeling wronged by the company, but again, after a few sessions, I had no desire to return. Three strikes, and I was done with therapy. In each of these experiences, I felt misunderstood. My therapists failed to connect with me personally, provide meaningful homework, or offer clear guidance. It often felt like I was walking through a tunnel with no light at the end. Even when I brought in work that seemed relevant, they would be confused by it. Simply put, no one seemed to understand the pain I was carrying, let alone how to help me process it. Then I met Crystal. From day one, Crystal was different. She connected with me immediately and helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel—a feat none of the other therapists had been able to achieve. My emotions were so buried that I had become numb. I didn’t feel anything, not even in response to extreme situations, like seeing violence on TV. I was emotionally cold. But Crystal noticed this almost immediately in our first session. She guided me through what I was struggling with, and, most importantly, she provided me with the tools I needed to heal and move forward. Every time she gives me homework, I am eager to complete it. When I return, I am met with validation and constructive feedback. It’s hard to explain how much progress I’ve made, but suffice it to say, the changes have been rapid and profound. If you’ve struggled with therapy in the past, I urge you to give Crystal a try. I am incredibly grateful that my girlfriend encouraged me to seek therapy, as it led me to Crystal, who has had a life-changing impact on me. I owe much of my progress to her. It’s now past midnight, and I’ve spent over 20 minutes writing this review—time that I could have spent sleeping, but it was well worth it. I thought the review would end here and they I decided I cannot stop writing so here is more: When I expressed my appreciation for Crystal's outstanding work, I was genuinely surprised when she mentioned that she didn’t have any reviews. "Surprised" doesn't even begin to capture my reaction. Additionally, I want to emphasize just how deeply Crystal cares. On multiple occasions, she has extended our sessions beyond the scheduled time, always explaining that it’s something she chooses to do because of her commitment to helping me. I find it difficult to fully articulate how much she has made a difference in my life, as words seem inadequate to capture her impact. Once again, I wholeheartedly encourage anyone seeking therapy to consider working with Crystal—she is truly exceptional. A special shoutout to Dr. Lewis for recommending me to Crystal. I want to acknowledge his professionalism and the guidance he provided in pointing me in the right direction. Initially, I came here seeking Dr. Lewis, but little did I know, it was Crystal who I truly needed all along. I'm incredibly grateful to this amazing team—it's clear that you can't go wrong with anyone here.”Read moreShow less
