Testimonials
What our patients say
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! The changes in my life have been positively amazing since working with Dr. Mushtagh. I have greater mental clarity, more sustained energy, a better mood and every area of my life has improved. Friends and family have even noticed incredible changes in me. If I were operating at 40% of my potential before, I feel that I am closer to 80% now. I can't recommend Dr. Mushtagh highly enough.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Saeid Mushtagh, and I couldn’t be happier with his care. He truly goes above and beyond for his patients, treating not just the symptoms but the whole person. His approach has been more effective than anything I’ve experienced before. For the first time, I feel real hope that I’m getting treatment that addresses the root cause, not just a quick fix. If you’re looking for a compassionate, thorough, and highly skilled naturopath, I highly recommend Dr. Mushtagh.
After struggling to understand and find the right approach for our son's ADHD diagnosis, Dr. Saeid Mushtagh provided the answers we were looking for through thorough testing and a personalized treatment plan. If you're a parent with a child navigating ADHD, I recommend getting a second professional opinion...
Saeid. You were the best Naturopathic Doctor that I have ever seen. I have seen four in my life in different locations but you were the best one for many reasons.
On June 12, 2014, I sustained a head injury at work. For the past three years, I have tried a number of different therapies to relieve my debilitating post-concussion symptoms. Since seeing Dr. Mushtagh, my ‘episodes’ have decreased in intensity, frequency, and duration as has my stuttering, fatigue, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and nerve pain. I no longer require the use of my walker, cane, or walking sticks. I highly recommend Dr. Saeid Mushtagh to anyone suffering from a concussion or Post-Concussion Syndrome. Thank you, Dr. Saeid for all that you have done towards my recovery!
I was under Saeid's care after suffering severe physical and mental side effects from cancer radiation treatment and the tragic death of my grandson. He brought me back to health and balance through his careful attention to the details impacting my life. In my case, he was a "Godsend." I have no hesitation recommending him. He is a man of compassion, incredible knowledge, wisdom, and integrity.
Nicest and the best naturopathic doctor I've seen over last 6 years of 15 ND's, MD's etc. Finds the underlining cause, very smart guy.
I have referred everyone I know to you. I was and am still so grateful for your care and thoughtfulness to me and everyone else I know that goes to you and that list is extensive. You’ve helped us all and we hold you in the very highest regard.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there for me at my darkest hour. Honestly, I feel like I now have a good group of doctors and healers, that I trust, around me and I'm ready for the next chapter of my recovery. Thank you again for all your help. I am forever in your debt.
Why Advanced Concussion Testing?
What is Advanced Concussion Testing
A concussion is a multisystem problem that includes brain networks, hormonal pathways and the musculoskeletal system. At our concussion clinic, we use an objective assessment tool called QEEG Brain Mapping to evaluate all regions of the brain affected and diagnose and guide an appropriate treatment plan.

Symptoms of Concussion and ADHD often Overlap
Concussion and Attention
Undiagnosed adult ADHD is on the rise, and a recent meta-analysis documented a significant statistical association between mild traumatic brain injury and ADHD.
Conventional treatments, including prescription stimulants and amphetamines such as Ritalin and Dexedrine, have many side effects.
Meanwhile, the prevalence of ADHD has increased by over 40% in the past decade. 4 % of the population now fits the diagnosis!
The symptoms of Post-Concussive Syndrome generally overlap with ADHD
- Distracted focus or trouble with sustained attention.
- Language or short-term recall.
- Executive function deficits in decision-making, emotional control, multi-tasking, and the inability to plan and execute.
