Dr. Keith Jordan


He changed my life! The first time I met Dr. Jordan I knew he had a gift. The extra bonus is that he genuinely cares about people and works in his special way to remove the layers of 'junk' blocking our earthly progression. He has opened up a wonderful new way of living for me and I am sure I'll never be the same. — Susan


I brought my son Danny (autistic, now age 10) to see Dr. Jordan when he was 4 years old. After just one visit, people noticed he made better eye contact! Over the years, Danny has continued to progress. Dr. Jordan's regimen of nutritional supplements and the actual process of reflexology has brought Danny from an unresponsive, withdrawn mystery to a happy little boy that now enjoys life. The encouragement and support that he gave me through the process spurred me to press on in the face of difficulty. The staff is so caring. Danny truly feels when he has an appointment he is "home.”

Thanks to everyone at Optimal Health for their wonderful care of my son! — Carol


I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia approximately 8 years ago. In a visit with a traditional medical specialist, I was told that I would be on painkillers and anti- depression drugs for the rest of my life. Plus, in four years I would be in a wheel chair. I believed there had to be something better. In searching over the Internet I discovered several doctors who believe that auto-immune diseases are caused by parasites and viruses. I contacted each of the doctors. The doctor in Texas said that he would be happy to see me, but hoped that he could find someone closer to Erie for me. He referred me to the TBM office, which gave me three names. I selected Dr.Keith. When I got out of the car I could hardly walk to the office. During the two-hour visit he discovered I did have parasites. Within 2 weeks I was sleeping through the night, something I had not done in years. In 3 to 4 weeks I felt strange. I realized I had no pain. It took a while for me to remember what ‘pain free’ feels like. I now run marathons.

Later on I discovered a lump in my breast, which the doctors believed was cancer. I called Dr. Keith, and he saw me right away. After 2 treatments the tumor had shrunk, there was no sign of cancer. The doctors could not explain it.

Within 2 years, at the age of 43 I became pregnant after being told I would never have children. During the whole pregnancy I saw Dr. Keith and had a healthy baby boy who is now 4 ½ years old. Dr. Keith is also my son's doctor. Just before my son turned 4 he got an ear infection, until that time he had never been ill. Dr. Keith was able to clear the infection in no time.

If you do what Dr. Keith tells you to do it works. He is just magic. — Mary


My wife was the first in the family to go to Dr. Jordan. She found him via an ad. A car hit me when I was in college. I was thrown onto the hood of the car but was able to walk away without any obvious damage. I did eventually suffer from back, neck and shoulder pain as a result of the accident. After years of working with chiropractors and acupuncturists, the back pain went away but the neck and shoulder pain remained. Seeing the success my wife was having working with Dr. Jordan, I decided to see if he could also help me.

After the first visit, Dr. Jordan was able to provide relief. He discovered that my hip was out of place causing my body to be out of alignment. After 2 years of work with Dr. Jordan not only is my body structure in alignment but my overall health is in a better state. I don't take any prescriptions or medicine any longer. I am free of the back, neck and shoulder pain. I eat in a manner that helps to maintain my health which includes drinking water. Now I see Dr. Jordan to help for health maintenance.

The whole family sees Dr. Jordan. My wife and I had to make a decision whether to get inoculation shots or not for our son. We knew about the risks and side effects of the shots, which we didn't like, but without the shots we weren't going to able to find a local pediatrician for him. We decided to get the shots for our son but immediately brought him to Dr. Jordan to receive help with detoxification. As a result, our son hasn't had chronic fevers or colds like children often times do with the shots, or any other type of side-effect.

I have absolute faith in Dr. Keith's ability to handle any type of medical problem. He uses the least invasive procedures possible to help you restore your health. He helps our whole family with health maintenance. — Frank


We can not say enough about how much Dr. Jordan has helped improve the health of our whole family. We came to Dr. Jordan about eighteen months ago because our two and a half year old son had just been diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (“JRA”). We turned to Dr. Jordan because he told us with confidence that he could “knock” this illness out of our son without relying on prescriptive drugs. He has done all that he said he would.

The eight months prior to meeting Dr. Jordan, we saw our previous healthy and vibrant two and a half year old son deteriorate to where he was no longer able to walk up or down stairs, couldn’t walk down the block anymore and he needed to hold onto the door jambs to step over the threshold. We went to our pediatrician with a laundry list of things that we had noticed, such as swollen fingers, flushing immediately after eating, raw pink finger tips, weight loss, bloated stomach, a weak appetite mixed with food cravings, yellow stools, rashes around the mouth that wouldn’t heal, knobby knees, as well as significant loss of mobility and constant stiffness. Our pediatrician regarded the list of symptoms as trivial issues. He attributed our child’s loss of mobility to a behavioral response to the birth of his sister.

Taking matters into our own hands, we began to meet with specialists seeking a diagnosis. Finally, a highly rated pediatric rheumatologist/allergist in New York City gave us a name for the disease - Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. The swollen fingers, wrists, knees and ankles were all JRA. The other flushing and rashes we described were unrelated, she could not treat them. The good news was that seventy percent of children outgrow JRA. The bad news was that our son was polyarticular, meaning he had JRA in both his large and small joints, and he had at best a fifty percent chance to outgrow the disease. She proceeded to tell us that the medical community can not explain why one contracts this disease. They have no idea why one outgrows it. And they have no idea how to effectively treat it. But she wanted to start James on an extremely low dosage of methotrexate, a chemotherapy drug. She told us our son might experience nausea, diarrhea and possibly liver problems. However, she suggested we try a less powerful drug first, even though she speculated it would not be effective. Our son moved better for about three days. But he woke up in the middle of the night screaming and swatting the back of his head. The doctor ascribed this to headaches from too strong a dosage of the first drug, napersin.

When the doctor explained that our son was experiencing more of an ache than excruciating pain, we thought it would be worthwhile to consider a natural medicine approach. As we began our search, my father-in-law and one of our best friends independently suggested we see Dr. Jordan. Taking their experiences as positive signs, we went hopeful for something that would help our son.

Immediately, we felt that Dr. Jordan was looking at the whole body. He said that our son wasn’t digesting his food correctly, and all of the symptoms we had described were signals to a number of related problems. We immediately changed his diet, started eating a low wheat and sugar diet of whole foods. We took the natural supplements that Dr. Jordan suggested. The work that Dr. Jordan does in each session is a critical component to the healing process he guides. He explains our bodies are like computers that sometimes need re-booting!

Today, one year and 4 months later, James is a vibrant, athletic active 4 year old. He excels in soccer, rock climbing, gymnastics and baseball. He is completely well and thriving. God only knows how differently this story could be told had we stayed within the confines of traditional medicine.

This whole process has opened our eyes to a healthier lifestyle. And it has highlighted some shortcomings of our traditional medical system. It has opened our eyes to the fact that aches and pains that one tends to accept are in fact symptoms of things that can be treated. Thank you, Dr. Jordan. We are forever grateful to you. — Pamela and Timothy


My family and I have been clients of Keith Jordan since July 2003. Our work with Keith has absolutely transformed the lives of each of us. When I started work with Keith I was taking 16 medications/day for a multitude of medical problems. I had to go to bed at 7 p.m. every night and could only take the steps twice per day. I was unable to work. I was extremely fatigued and felt hopeless. I now am off all medication because my body has been restored to health. All my medical problems have been resolved. I feel great, have 100X more energy, I am optimistic, joyful, and live in peace. I have lost 40 pounds, started my own business, and restored my marriage. Everyone I encounter mentions the peace I live in and ask how I have achieved that.

My children were very ill as well, missed significant amounts of school, were on 10 medications/day, and had many medical problems. They now attend school daily, are on the honor roll, are heathy, off all meds, happy, have tons of friends, lost 50 pounds each. The oldest is working 2 jobs, just obtained his driver’s license and bought a car. They are finally living normal adolescent lives, having fun, and enjoyng life...looking forward to the future. My children say they will never see another doctor because “Keith is the only doctor I have ever seen that makes sense.”

Our work with Keith has led to rebirth for each of us. We are renewed and look forward to the future with a knowingness that we will continue to live in health, happiness, and prosperity. We have been given the gift of rebirth and renewal and intend to use these gifts in service.

I refer nearly everyone I meet to Keith and his associates. I can think of no one who would not benefit from the inspiried services they provide. Keith is an angel on earth and uses his gifts for their highest and best use. Let his spirit, message, work, guidance, and love into your life and finally live the life you were meant to live, experiencing everything you have ever dreamed. — Susan Mikolic

Dr. Jenica Mignogna

I had physical problems that required me to take several different prescriptions. As time went on I had to take more prescriptions due to side effects or symptoms resulting from all of the prescriptions. During this point in my life, my energy level was extremely low making it difficult to work more than four hours a day.

I had 15 years experience as a manager in hospital administration. When friends initially suggested that I go to a holistic doctor like Dr. Jenica, I found myself ignoring their advice.

I wasn't convinced that this type of method worked. Then one day someone got me to make the appointment. I looked for ways to back out but found myself sitting in the waiting room. Even then I was looking for a way to escape, but when I spoke with the receptionist, she convinced me to meet the doctor. Within 4-6 weeks, I was off of all the prescriptions. I was following the doctor's instructions carefully regarding diet, water, and nutritional supplements. As an extra benefit, I lost a lot of weight. I saw how the doctor's approach to treating me as a whole person differed from western medicine where they treated only my symptoms. Now I was releasing emotions from my past and balancing my energy as well as working directly to treat my body. Although this approach takes time, I now can work a 12-hour day and I have remained free of prescriptions. Looking back on the success of my treatment I feel like it was the simple things that contributed the most — like following the doctor's instructions and doing the work.

When I thanked Dr. Jenica for healing me she said, "You healed yourself." This was an empowering thought for me. I realized that by taking care of my body, it was able to heal itself. I continue to follow the eating plan and drink the water because I enjoy the benefits it brings. — Andy


A friend introduced me to Dr. Jenica. I suffered from acid reflux for years. My doctors were recommending various types of prescription drugs at this point. During my first visit with Dr. Jenica the symptoms were removed and I haven't had another problem with acid reflux since.

I had a lump in my chest since I was 19. On my second visit with Dr. Jenica, the lump vanished. I don't know if it works this quickly for everyone but I was pleased with my results.

I follow the nutritional recommendations made by Dr. Jenica. I have never felt this good in my life.

This treatment is not traditional. It is better than psychology because it gets immediate long lasting results. There are no prescriptions or therapy. Deep-rooted problems surface quickly and painlessly. This approach works well with children, too.

My family and I love Dr. Jenica. — Lynn


I felt the need to clean up my eating habits and cleanse my whole body. I had also injured my shoulder while taking care of my mother and had waited a year before seeking medical help. The traditional medical solution was physical therapy and drugs, which just didn't seem right. Plus I had not slept more than 4 hours per night in years. On my first visit to Dr. Jenica, she was able to really get to the heart of my emotions. It brought out issues that were overwhelming. I got much more than I bargained for. The treatments opened my eyes to so many things. My shoulder is repaired and I now sleep 6 to 7 hours a night rather than 4. If I watch my diet and put forth effort in my exercise, I feel great. I believe Dr. Jenica can help me with anything.

During Dr. Jenica’s maternity leave, I had an appointment with Dr. Keith. When he entered the room the force was so cool, I knew something cool was going to happen, a totally different experience. I would highly recommend them both. — Monica

Dr. Yaser Abdelhamid


When I heard that an acupuncturist was joining the Optimal Health team I was fascinated and interested in learning the techniques that Dr. Yaser uses. I will be attending the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in the fall to study natural medicine and acupuncture in Portland, Oregon. My first session with Dr. Y was incredible. Dr. Y is extremely knowledgeable in natural medicine and throughout my session, he was open to discussing his ideas and philosophies with me as well as treatments! His caring and kind demeanor made for a comfortable setting and after my first treatment I noticed a tremendous increase in my energy level as well as added confidence in myself. I sought treatment for cravings, as we are all trying to lose some weight these days, and I was placed on a series of herbs to enhance my metabolism and increase my serotonin levels. With days my system felt detoxified and I began losing weight that I was able to keep off. My mother has also seen Dr. Y and through a similar experience, his treatments have enhanced her ability to accept calcium and decreased the amount of inflammation in her system by using a simple nutritional remedy. I feel he is an asset to the Optimal Wellness Center and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an alternative to expensive and timely traditional medical practices. — Carolyn

I first heard about Optimal Wellness Center through some friends. I started seeing Dr. Yaser because Dr. Jordan recommended him to me for my migraines, fibromyalgia and autoimmune disorder. Since I’ve been seeing Dr. Yaser the pain has become less frequent. I find him to be a caring and compassionate doctor. Accupuncture has been an interesting and relaxing experience which is not painful. Dr. Y is very knowledgeable as well and sees many patients with migraines.

I like OWC because the doctors get to know the patients on a personal level, are respectful and want the best for their patients. In my previous experiences with doctors this is quite rare.

I have also seen Dr. Jordan and he is phenomenal as well. I see him for my fibromyalgia and autoimmune disorder, and for nutrition. I lost 30 pounds in the first 3 months that I began seeing Dr. J. I highly recommend OWC to my friends and family. A friend of mine has recently seen Dr. Ormsby for a visit. — Laura

Since seeing Dr. Yaser for a series of treatments for chronic low back pain, I have been pain free. I can now exercise daily and have lost 25 lbs! Dr. Yaser made a huge difference in my life. The treatments are pain-free and actually enjoyable and relaxing. Dr. Yaser takes his time, explains the process and is wonderful to work with. Now I visit him whenever I have a bad muscle pull or injury. It's a great investment in my health and I recommend him to everyone! — Robin

Jennifer Martinc, ND

I’ve had issues with shoulder blade pain, headaches, sleeplessness, and, since I’ve started running, leg cramps. While I practice yoga and other stretching techniques, the thing that’s made a major difference in the health of my body, has been my regular visits to massage therapist Jen Martinc in the Optimal Wellness office. I have tried massage before, and have always been disappointed with its approach of being simply a ”relaxing” experience, without being a holistic treatment experience. I immediately felt a rapport with Jen, as she is knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to understand my expectations. I have been visiting her for several months now, and the past issues I’ve had have all but disappeared. I feel healthier, my body feels lighter, and I look forward to my visits with her both from a personal standpoint and as a therapy session. I can truly say it has improved my fitness (from a running perspective), and has improved my stamina, stretching ability, and sleep. Now Optimal Wellness is the perfect one-stop shop! — Candace

Andrea Mazur, LMT

As one who has had massage from many therapists and modalities over the past 10 years, I have found my recent work with Andrea to be most effective. The hot stone therapy for relieving painful trigger points is wonderful. Andrea’s genuinely warm, caring personality only enhances her skills as a massotherapist. Whether you are seeking relaxation or therapeutic treatment, I highly recommend her. — Linda
