Testimonials

“I came to Optimal Well MD today for the first time and literally left feeling so much gratitude for the lovely ladies that took great care of me. I had the pleasure of meeting Alanna, who was so sweet and helpful the entire time, to having my Botox done by Jackie, who was also incredibly kind and very informative and helpful when I had questions to ask. She was very quick but thorough and so gentle I barely felt a thing! These ladies are so beautiful inside and out, and this was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had, and already can’t wait to come back for more services. I also have to mention… I had to bring my small kids with me last minute to my appointment, and was VERY hesitant and nervous because not everyone is equally accepting of children at businesses—Alanna made me and my kids feel so welcomed and even played with them while I was seen.

Thank you so much, Alanna and Jackie. You ladies are so amazing, and your kindness is immensely appreciated ♥️”

“What an amazing experience at Optimal Well M.D.! I was looking for a place that I knew I could trust to do a microneedling treatment on my skin. I had suffered from severe acne for years and wanted to repair some scarring and discoloration, but was nervous to move forward. Alanna and Lindsay put my mind at ease and made the experience wonderful! Both of them were very knowledgeable and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. My skin already looks amazing on day two, and I can’t wait to see the final results. I will definitely be returning to Optimal Well M.D. whenever I need high-quality treatments!”

“I highly recommend Optimal Well MD and Jackie! She was very knowledgeable on how to address my concerns of anti-aging, but she also took the time to explain to me what I needed to do to address those concerns I had, and we came up with a plan during my consultation. She recommended Daxify injectable on my temples and forehead to address my fine lines and wrinkles, and then I'll be coming back in 2 weeks to address my masseters on both sides. I liked how she recommended Daxify injectable, so it'll last longer than Botox but also onset quicker. I started seeing results within 2 days. I liked that she took the time to explain everything to me. I look forward to my next appointment with her! Thank you, Jackie! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗”

“As a former NHL player and now a firefighter, I’ve put my body through more than most people. And I’ve worked with a ton of doctors over the years. But I’ve never experienced anything like the care I get from Dr. Ferrel at Optimal Well MD. She really knows her stuff. Not just testosterone therapy, but peptides, NAD+, glutathione, all of it. She built a plan specifically for me, and the results have been next level. My energy, focus, and recovery are better than they’ve been in years. She takes the time to listen, explain things, and follow up. You’re not just another patient—she actually wants to see you win. 10/10”

Adam P.

“My husband, Adam, is Dr. Ferrel’s patient, and I followed suit. I saw a transformation in his energy throughout the day and wanted to match it. I can’t say enough good things about working with Dr. Ferrel. For the first time in years, I feel like myself again, energized, clear-headed, and truly alive. From the very beginning, Dr. Ferrel took the time to really listen, look at the full picture, and tailor a plan just for me. What she recommended for my specific needs has been life-changing. I have more energy than I’ve had in a decade, and I finally feel like my body is working with me instead of against me. She gets to the root cause of problems and fixes them. I am beyond grateful and wouldn’t trust anyone else with my health.”

“I went to Jackie here for Botox. At first, I was so nervous because I am new to Botox, I didn’t know exactly what I wanted... I just wanted to look more youthful, get my glow back, so to speak. I showed her my problem areas, and I felt so heard and not rushed! My results are even better than I hoped for! 10/10. If you’re a first timer or experienced, she will make you feel 100% comfortable! The entire vibe of the place is clean, friendly, and comforting. The receptionist was great too. I loved everything about this place and couldn’t be happier that I chose Jackie!”

You won’t regret it they are the best Team to have alongside your journey!!!”

Jenny Cuyler

“From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed! Alanna, who was at the front desk (and is also the owner), was so incredibly sweet. I came in for Botox with Jackie, this was my first time seeing her, and she had the hands of an angel! Did not feel a thing! I’m on day 4 post-treatment, and it has kicked in, and I’m obsessed! Highly recommend checking out this new practice!”

Kyndra Leake

“My mom is 77 and is in desperate need of a hip replacement, the surgeons have had to turn her down 3 times in the past year, as she’s not been in the best of health. Instead of waiting any longer, and allowing her to lose her mobility, we reached out to Dr. Ferrel and her crew. Mom was prescribed a GLP-1, lost the weight she needed to get healthy and looking to schedule her life-changing surgery. It’ll be a huge relief to my family for her to not be in pain and to not struggle with her weight. Very thankful for the one-on-one attention, even though we are all the way in California!! A professional, discrete and empathetic team that I can say are my family friends now! Thanks!!”

Tracy Harding

“I can not say enough great things about Alanna and Dr. Ferrel! After talking with them about my complex medical history and sharing my health goals. I knew I was in the right place. As a business owner and service provider myself, I know the importance of in-depth consultations. Everything was well explained to me, medicine and services are affordable and high quality, and having both Alanna, and Dr Ferrel to guide me through and always a phone call away was refreshing. I trust them with my health, wellness, and beauty. 10 out of 10, I continue to recommend them to my clients, friends, and family. Trust in your doctors is so important,t and these ladies have mine.”

Ash Fortis

“Every member of the staff is so incredibly knowledgeable and invested in the betterment of their patients. As a nurse myself, I know how hard it is for busy providers to make the time to follow up with and invest in their patients' holistic well-being, but nothing stops the staff here from doing just that. Jackie is an AMAZING injector who does magic for patients, watching natural-looking preservation as well as enhancement. I've been seeing her for years and would never trust anyone else with my face!! These photos were taken 10 years apart (26 and 36).”

Michaela Malloy

“Dr. Nancy and her staff are the best! Not only does Dr Nancy have over 25 years of anti-aging medicine experience, but she genuinely listens and cares about her patients. I have been struggling to lose weight for the last 4 years, and recently started with Optimal Well M.D., and I am finally seeing results, down 16lbs and counting! As a busy mother who works full time, Dr. Nancy and her staff have given me the best gift possible, regaining my confidence! You will not regret making the decision to let Optimal Well MD help you on your weight loss or anti-aging journey!”

Megan

“I would recommend Dr. Nancy Ferrel to anyone and everyone! It’s not very often that I’ve been able to work with a doctor who I feel genuinely cares about my health. Usually it feels like I’m a number to get in and out of an appointment as quickly as possible. However, with Dr. Ferrel, it couldn’t be more opposite. She is a wonderful doctor and person who takes sincere and genuine interest in your health AND you as a person. She dedicates extra time to make sure that you are getting the results that you’re looking for and stays available to address any questions and concerns. I 10 out of 10 would recommend working with Dr. Ferrel and Optimal Well MD for any and all needs.”

Amanda Baxter

“Wonderful experience. I am over 70, retired law enforcement having no energy, weight gain and muscle loss. After some simple tests Dr. Ferrel prescribed a hormone replacement therapy, with simple diet, back in gym. I have my energy back, gained muscle, and I am down to 21percent BMI from over 28 percent. People can not believe my age and what a change in my look and attitude. I highly recommend Dr. Ferrel to anyone who wants to feel 25 again. I will continue the program as long as I live. AMAZING.”

Bruce Bender

“I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Ferrel and the entire Optimal Well team. As a longtime patient, I have experienced firsthand Dr. Ferrel’s knowledge, attention to detail, and passion for providing phenomenal patient-centered care. And the results? Superb. Dr. Ferrel’s customized treatment plans have me feeling and looking my best. Sure—you could go elsewhere, but it would be a disservice to yourself. Instead, I recommend stopping in to see Dr. Ferrel and her team. There isn’t a finer wellness physician in the state of Virginia.”

M.M.

“Dr. Ferrel takes her time to listen to any and all concerns, and questions you may have while she talks you through the medical side of things. She does an incredible job of being through but still explains things in a way that can be understood clearly. I feel like her care for her patients radiates through her work and I will absolutely see her again a million times over! I’ve never been happier after talking to a doctor.”

Savanna LeFever

“Dr. Ferrel has been helping my husband and I for years. We were so excited that she decided to bring her practice to the Virginia Beach area! We have dealt with severe back, hip and neck pain for so long it was starting to feel hopeless. Dr. Ferrel has kept us mobile and also helped us avoid invasive surgery. We both highly recommend her. Talk to her BEFORE considering surgery an option.”

Ashley Good

“Dr. Ferrel and the staff of Optimal Well MD have changed my life! Highly professional service and I'm finally getting results! I have lost over 100 lbs. They offer Ozempic which has been hard for me to find. I've been trying for over ten years to lose this weight and never thought it would've been possible.”

Evelyn Martinez

“Dr. Ferral has been amazing for my wife and I, she is extremely knowledgeable and goes above and beyond for her clients. I have a very busy schedule and Nancy has worked with me at odd hours, even weekends to help answer our questions and guide us through this process.”

David Amundson

“Dr. Ferrel MD is absolutely amazing! She as able to prescribe me Semaglutide and I have finally lost weight!!! And she is so kind and listens. Highly recommend this beautiful clinic.”

Mariia Priguza

“Dr. Ferrel is the best. Very knowledgeable and she LISTENS. Don’t know where I’d be without her. My energy and mood have never been better.”

M.T.

“I have known Dr. Ferrell for years. I find her very compassionate and very knowledgeable. I have a difficult allergy; she is amazing at working within my boundaries! I couldn’t ask for a better MD to work with!”

Ruth Talbot

“RUN…don’t walk to this amazing well run establishment. You won’t find a better choice!

For 2 years, I have asked my Sentara Dr during annual exams for help with my weight when she would point out my high BMI and each time she would say there is nothing she can do for me because I don’t have an underlying health issue like diabetes. So, no help was going to be offered until I was medically obese with diabetes. I took my health into my own hands at that point and called local weight loss centers in Virginia Beach. I realized almost all of them do NOT have a Dr. in the local office and only a virtual Dr. from another state. I didn’t want that. I wanted someone local, established, and that would observe me through the entire process.

OptimaWellMD was my 4th phone call and I wish it was the first. Alanna answered the phone and was a breath of fresh air and dedicated to listening to my story and excited to provide Dr. Ferrel as my weight loss guide with her proven track record in 3 different states (CA, FL, VA). Alanna’s energy and positivity is amazing and energizes you with new hope. Once I spoke to Dr. Ferrel, I felt heard, and my anxiety about my current weight melted away because Dr. Ferrel reviewed my medical history and my last blood results to identify any additional underlying issues that can be tweaked to obtain a more thorough and effective weight loss journey. This was not a cookie-cutter process that the other weight loss centers take, she wants to review your expanded health picture in effort to improve and tailor a plan to your specific body.

I am extremely grateful and thankful to Dr. Ferrell to share my journey of a little over 2.5 months has resulted in 25 lbs of weight loss. I don’t feel unhealthy, don’t get winded walking up the stairs. I’m back in smaller clothes I haven’t worn in years, and family and friends have complimented on my weight loss as they can see my health overall has improved.

I’ll repeat…RUN, don’t walk to them; you won’t be disappointed.”
