Patient Testimonials
Some letters I have received from patients.
After going to over fifteen different doctors and specialists for over a year and a half I still had no answer to why I was experiencing severe fatigue, muscle pain, numbness and tingling and a barrage of other frustrating and at times terrifying symptoms. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Epstein Barr Virus, Depression and Anxiety. Those are labels but they are not explanations as to where this came from or how to put the breaks on the rapidly increasing severity of them all. At the age of 26, my health was quickly declining. I didn’t want to go on pain medication or anxiety medication as every other doctor suggested. It seemed no one was looking for the root cause of this other than me.
I found Dr. Heerey in fall of 2011. He is the first doctor to listen to every symptom (and there were many) and every concern. He was determined to help me and to improve my quality of life. Within a few weeks of first seeing Dr. Heerey I rapidly developed symptoms that pointed to Endometriosis. My diagnosis was confirmed by a G.Y.N. The pain was like nothing I had ever experienced before. It was beyond what I could handle and was getting tremendously worse with each menstrual cycle. Dr. Sean treated me with homeopathic remedies and flower essences in addition to Standard Process supplements and I was changing my diet.
My health is improving at such a rapid pace. It is a profound relief that this pain is steadily subsiding. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Heerey for sticking by me and not giving up on the complexity of my situation. I finally have a doctor for life.

Dear Dr. Heerey,
Just wanted to send you an update that our son’s colic is greatly improved. The remedies you recommended have made a great difference. My wife and I can sleep (a little bit) at night. Our son is sleeping! Thank you so much for your kindness and expertise!

Dr.Sean,
Thought I would just let you know how I am doing. My visits with you really did help me a lot and I thank you very much again. I am finding that what I eat and drink totally affects how I feel and I can pretty much control my health by controling my food intake. Staying away from gluten is not so daunting anymore. I have learned how to live without it; how to go out to restaurants and order gf food. There is a lot of information and support for celiacs and lots of restaurants are very accommodating here. I cook a lot and use lots of non gluten grains (make my own muffins, pizza desserts), but find I tend to do better with a minimal use of grains just like you recommended.
I really am enjoying taking a recipe and converting it to gf and people tell me that it is good!! (Although I admit to a number of disasters as well.) I have greatly reduced my intake of coffee which is really tough for me and only have decaf when I do and I can feel the effects of chocolate as well. I ‘think’ and feel that my intestine is definitely healing. I think that the diet for sure has been the biggest help…sticking to the blood type O diet and eating in a way that you described to me.
Thanks again Dr. Sean for all your help. Changing my diet really has changed my life.

An approach to help children with autism and other developmental disorders. Step by step causative factors (pharmaceutical and over the counter medications, environmental toxic exposures, effects of illness, medical/dental procedures, etc.) are detoxified with homeopathic remedies. CEASE stands for Complete Elimination of Autistic Spectrum Expression. This approach was developed by Tinus Smits, MD, a Dutch homeopathic physician to help children and adults on the Autistic Spectrum recover and optimize function.This approach can also be used for children and adults with chronic disease. No 2 children are the same, therefore, every plan is individualized as exposures and causative factors vary from case to case.
Dilutions of flower material that affect change on mental and emotional levels. The effects can be compared to the experience of hearing a favorite song or looking at a photo of a beloved friend, family member or pet. That same feeling of joy, bliss and happiness can occur when a flower essence is customized and blended for you.
Homeopathic and energetic remedies used to detoxify the body and stimulate a state of wellness. The goal is to re-balance the body so it can handle normal, daily stressors and help establish an increased level of wellness.
This involves looking closely at your typical food intake in combination with the stressors in your life. What you eat, levels and types of stress, and your relationship with food all inform the consequences of your lifestyle choices. We will discuss how to modify them to improve your health and well-being.
Keeping in mind the naturopathic medical premise that the body has the innate ability to heal itself, we look at your diet to determine whether or not you are getting the essential nutrients your body needs to maintain optimal health. I then make the recommended dietary modifications needed to re-balance essential nutrients supporting your body’s ability to healing itself.
