    You can't ever cancel, they will fraudulently take your money !

    Was really good at first, but since wanting to cancel my subscription with them 4 months ago they continue to fraudulently take the money from my account, you don't pay by direct debit so you can't cancel it your end, I've reported the dispute 4 times with them and they still continue to take the money from my account and I have to open disputes with my bank ! BEWARE

    Edited due to their response:

    Just to make it clear I have been emailing every month to cancel for the past 5 months, each time I'm told by your customer service team that my subscription is cancelled, another payment comes out the next month ! So clearly it is a fraudulent transaction as you are not adhering to your cancellation policy!!!!!

    We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with our service and want to cancel. It is very easy to cancel our service, we just ask that you email us with a cancellation request and give one month's notice as per the patient contract.

    We will happily cancel your subscription, and if there are any transactions which went through after your one month cancellation notice period then those will be refunded immediately.

    We have searched our emails and I cannot find any cancellation request that matches your name. We also haven't received any payment disputes from anyone with your name. Please email us at patients@optimale.co.uk so we can try to resolve this issue for you.

    Many thanks, Optimale

    Where do I even start would be the…

    Where do I even start would be the first question?
    I’m a 41 yer old male, I have 2 young children under 3 and run a small business, I had put my constant tiredness down to burning the candle at both ends working long hours, however once I spoke with a Dr at optimale and we spoke about my tests to confirm I had low testosterone.
    Since starting on testosterone cypionate 10 weeks ago my life has changed positively, I no longer procrastinate projects at work, I hit the gym for the first time in 5 years and still find time to be engaged with my children before bed, I wake up feeling recharged.
    I cannot fault the service and product supplied.
    So what has changed for me;
    Better mood
    Mental clarity
    Positive outlook
    Higher sex drive
    More understanding
    Found my drive once again
    This list goes on

    Avios at all costs!!!!

    I would avoid this company at all costs, all they want you to do is spend money on tests. They will not actually prescribe you TRT. Complete waste of time! I would use another company

    Hi James, some patients have health conditions that require further analysis before starting treatment. We take the health of our patients extremely seriously and we won't start patients on treatment if it puts their health at risk. We don't refuse patients treatment unless it is for a very good reason, we have prescribed thousands of patients TRT and our blood tests do not make us a profit, so I'm afraid this isn't true. Please take our recommendations seriously and good luck in finding treatment.

    After several trips to the doctors

    After several trips to the doctors, explaining my lack of energy and feeling low, I was repeatedly prescribed SSRIs with recommendations to keep increasing the dose. I decided to reach out to Optimale for a testosterone check. The service was efficient, with great communication throughout. After my blood test, I discovered I had low testosterone. Optimale presented me with options, and I had an online consultation with Dr. Zain Siddiqui, who thoroughly explained all treatment possibilities, including the pros and cons. Together, we agreed on a treatment plan.

    Optimale arranged for the medication delivery and provided clear instructions on how to use it. Now, weeks into my treatment and following up with Dr. Siddiqui, I’m thrilled with the results. My energy, mental clarity, focus, libido, and enjoyment of working out have all improved dramatically.

    A big thank you to Dr. Zain Siddiqui for his understanding and support, and to the entire Optimale team for their exceptional service, communication, and responsiveness. Highly recommended!

    I have been on trt for about 9 months with optimale, and feel so much better.
    Ther AFTER CARE is second to none.
    Whatever I ask by phone or email,I guarantee a response explaining things clearly,from the help desk.
    A special thank you to Helen and Amie,who are just so friendly and never come across impatient with me.
    Also a huge praise for doctor choo who is so caring and helpful.who offers help and advice even outside your allocated appointments.
    Optimale doesn't just take your money.
    They really do care.
    Thank you.

    Pretty poor service

    Pretty poor service, said my levels were low in the first test and that I should do a full test. Turns out my levels weren’t that low or treatable in the first test so basically got ripped off. Wouldn’t recommend.

    My first test wasn’t in a treatable range and therefore I shouldn’t have been advised to do a second more expensive test. It absolutely isn’t confusing in the least, your reply from your staff at the time states “ I can see You weren’t in a treatable range in your first test.”

    Hi Anthony,

    Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We understand that receiving different results from your two tests can be confusing, and we appreciate the opportunity to explain why we approach testing this way.

    It’s important to follow the guidelines set by the British Society for Sexual Medicine (BSSM) when diagnosing low testosterone. These guidelines recommend conducting two separate blood tests to confirm low testosterone levels before considering any treatment. Hormone levels, including testosterone, can fluctuate due to various factors like stress, sleep, diet, alcohol consumption or even the time of day. This means a single abnormal result could be caused by temporary changes rather than a consistent underlying issue.

    In your case, your first test showed low free testosterone and elevated SHBG levels, but your second test indicated normal free testosterone with SHBG still elevated. The variability in your results is exactly why the BSSM guidelines advocate for multiple tests. Treating low testosterone based on one abnormal result could lead to unnecessary or inappropriate treatment, which we strive to avoid.

    We understand your concerns and would be happy to offer you an Enhanced Blood test to monitor your levels at your earliest convenience, given that your last test was a year ago.

    Please feel free to reach out to us if you need any support.

    Great customer support

    So I have ordered blood tests from them once a year just to keep an eye on my levels and they have always dispached items quickly and the results take a day or two after posting back.

    I recently ordered a test but filled out my address incorrectly, totally my fault and the package has been returned to them. I reached out to customer support and got a response from them right away from someone called Sabrina and without any fuss I have a new kit on its way within about 2 hours of reaching out to them. So big thumbs up for great customer support from me.

    Don't mistake low Testosterone with Depression...

    My experience with Optimale has been excellent, the customer service is prompt and the Drs, well I can only talk about the Dr assigned to me, Dr. Paweleck, who is excellent.

    I recommend Optimale, but, what I recommend more than this is get yourself checked out, do the blood tests, because the symptoms of low Testosterone are scarily similar to Depression and the NHS simply don't know enough about TRT to accurately diagnose it and there is a big reluctance to prescribe TRT on the NHS even if it is diagnosed.

    Yes, there are a few blood test hurdles to jump through and it is isn't cheap, however, 3 months in and I feel fantastic - get those tests done...
