    Stay far away from this place, they lie and can’t even all be on the same page!!!!

    Stay far away from this place. I was going to a in person clinic and Optimale told me that they were much cheaper. So I planned to switch where I would not miss a single day. Ryan, the provider told me that I would receive it by Friday or Monday at the latest. Well, they shipped it to some address in Florida, I live in Texas, so I actually didn’t get it until Thursday. Which made me four days late on my shot. Well, once I received it, I looked at the script and it said .6 twice a week which ended up being 160 mg. In the original video chat he told me that he would do 200 mg a week, so I reached out to him on Thursday. It took him nearly a week to get back to me and he said no the bottle is 250 mg and told me my math was wrong. The bottle clearly says 200 and my script clearly says 200. This provider lies so much and they have no clue what it’s even going on. They can’t even ship it to the right address. Please save your money and stay away from them. There is four better clinics. And since he claimed that it should’ve been 250 mg and I only got 200, I actually got overcharged because if I were to do 200 mg a week I would not have the same amount of doses. I highly doubt I’m even gonna get a refund on that, but I changed a few few days after him not responding to my medical question. This place is not professional whatsoever. Another thing, I just found out. I don’t even have a patient ID on any paperwork.

    Terrible customer service

    Terrible customer service Terrible customer service. I've had several blood tests from Optimale. Before ordering my next test I emailed them to ask if Thyroid results were still included.

    Halfway through the email conversation they suddenly decided to stop replying and ask me for for my personal information. Even though I was replying to an existing email thread which started with them sending my 2025 results

    Do not use Optimale. They put profit over patient safety

    Do not use Optimale. They put profit over patient safety.

    I was a customer of Optimale for five years. In the beginning, the service was good. Regular checkups, correct dosing, doctors who actually knew what they were doing.

    That's not the case anymore.

    Doctor turnover became constant. New doctors rotated in who didn't know the basics. I found myself leading my own consultations because they didn't know what to ask or what to look for in my bloodwork.

    That's not what you pay a medical provider for.

    The worst part: they got my HCG dose wrong and had me on 10 times the correct amount for months without catching it. I didn't even realize it myself until later. Looking back, it explains mental health problems (crazy mood swings) I was dealing with at the time that I couldn't account for.

    When I brought it to their attention, I got no apology and barely a response. I had to sort most of it out myself, and ended up needing outside doctors to deal with the damage.

    On top of that, they had an HCG shortage and offered to switch me to Clomid instead. Switching medication like that can have a real impact on your hormones, but they didn't offer any additional blood tests to monitor the change.

    They didn't even recommend I get any. If you wanted blood work done to check how your body was handling the switch, it was at your own expense.

    They were happy to change my medication in a way that could affect my health, but were not willing to pay for the testing needed to do it safely. That's not a coincidence.

    It just further proves this company is about profit over patient safety.

    As someone who runs a business myself, this is not how you treat customers, let alone patients.

    Optimale is no longer focused on care or service. They're focused on locking people into long-term subscriptions. There is no real duty of care here. They got my dosing badly wrong and barely acknowledged it, and I have no reason to think my experience was unique.

    If you're considering them, know what you're actually signing up for.

    Taking £100+ a month and leaving patients without medication

    I’ve been with Optimale for around 10 years and pay over £100 per month. What’s happening now is unacceptable.
    21 Feb 2026: I ordered my repeat prescription (Cypionate etc.).
    Received an automated email clearly stating this was NOT confirmation of approval or dispatch.
    24 Feb 2026: I chased them.
    Received another automated reply (Support ticket 3211203) saying they aim to respond within 24–48 hours.
    Since then: complete silence.
    No human response.
    No confirmation of doctor approval.
    No dispatch date.
    No tracking.
    No apology.
    No explanation.
    I am now completely out of medication. For a TRT clinic, leaving a long-term paying patient without treatment and without communication is beyond unprofessional.
    HCG has also been unavailable for months with poor communication.
    There is no other option for me now than to cancel my standing order and move to another TRT clinic — especially when other providers are significantly cheaper these days and, from what I can see, actually communicate with their patients.
    Premium prices. Automated emails. No medication.
    Avoid.

    UPDATE (after this review was posted yesterday):
    Very interesting timing. After weeks of silence, Optimale/Voy suddenly contacted me the morning after this Trustpilot review appeared.
    So it seems emails from paying patients can be ignored for weeks, but a public review gets an immediate response.
    Their explanation is that they are going through a merger with Voy and that the Optimale inbox is no longer closely monitored. In other words, patients were still paying subscriptions while the company apparently stopped properly monitoring the support inbox.
    They also tried to claim that my medication request wasn’t processed because I am “overdue” for a doctor consultation and blood test.
    This is simply not correct.
    My last doctor consultation took place on 25 September 2025 and my blood test was done on 12 September 2025, which follows the normal schedule they themselves previously required.
    After charging £100+ per month, I was left without medication, ignored for weeks, and only received a response after publicly posting a review.
    Instead of my usual 10ml Cypionate, they are now offering some kind of temporary replacement supply while asking me to repeat monitoring.
    This entire situation raises serious concerns about how this clinic is currently operating. Patients relying on TRT should not have to chase basic communication or risk running out of medication.
    Extremely disappointing experience after many years as a customer.

    Good clinical care, but the subscription model didn’t suit a stable patient

    I used Optimale (now Voy) for TRT for a significant period. The doctors were knowledgeable, the treatment worked well, and I don’t have concerns about the clinical side of care.

    Where the experience didn’t work for me was the pricing structure. I’m a stable, low-maintenance patient — on a reduced dose, with medication lasting several months per vial and only needing blood tests a couple of times a year (paid separately). Despite this, the monthly subscription remained the same regardless of how little ongoing support I actually needed.

    I raised this with support and was told the pricing model is based on continuous care rather than usage, which I understand — but it may not suit everyone.

    I’ve since moved to a provider with a more usage-aligned billing structure and, for my situation, my overall annual cost is now roughly half while maintaining the same medication and appropriate clinical oversight.

    Optimale/Voy may be a good fit for people who want frequent monitoring and regular clinician contact, but I’d recommend stable patients carefully consider whether the subscription model reflects their actual needs.

    Unfortunately I wont be using again

    Unfortunately I wont be using again. 3 days in and still no results. Sent an email this morning and have had no reply. Change of doctors, company changes/merges, lack of staff, too busy what ever else excuse is used is not good enough and an Optimal problem. A company run well, even with changes or issues going on in the background should have various things in place to limit/stop any negative effect on the customer. No one works the weekend so will be sometime next week I get the results, if I'm lucky and that's just not good enough. I've used these before and its amazing how quickly you can go off a company when they cant do the basics right, especially when they are happy taking the payment with no issues.

    I'm so sorry for the frustration - you’re right, the nationwide HCG shortage is currently affecting many.

    While HCG continues to be in short supply, we have been working closely with the sole UK manufacturer of HCG, and were able to secure some stock to arrive at the end of January, but it won’t fully meet demand for everyone just yet.

    Because HCG is so important for fertility, we’re prioritising those actively trying to conceive or planning to soon, but I’ve emailed you with more information on how we’re prioritising patients and the alternatives available to help keep your treatment on track.

    Thank you so much for your understanding — we really appreciate it during this difficult time and apologise for the frustration caused.

    Worst TRT patient services in London

    When they need something from you, they’re very quick to respond. But when all you ask is to be informed when making an order, they’re very quick very frequently ignore. Even if one explains that you’re running out of medication, they are still not there. Extremely frustrating to work with ad so if you can find another company giving the same, choose that.

    Harassing communication, incompetence at every level

    I used optimale for many months and found them to be absolutely disjointed at every possible stage of the process. They can't keep track of what they're asking you and when, leading to being sent around in circles about everything. There's no care or attention to customers, you're just part of a sausage factory. The medication itself is marked up 10x the price and to the level of insanity.... They charged over 60 pounds for needles and wipes that from any other company costs you 15 quid.

    On leaving them they have harassed me with texts and marketing emails. I requested they remove my personal data because of this harassment and months later they're still doing it. I'm now in the process of reporting them to the ICO. This is unacceptable, and at this point an illegal ignorance of data protection laws. AVOID

    Behind competition. Lost money

    Firstly there is not an option to set up an account or portal so you can view results or keep track of your health like other provide, they want to do everything email. Secondly the test kits are poor. They're not as advertised you get the cheapest kits without the vial to needle line, more importantly they advertise that you can book blood tests and 1000s of places but when I tired to book in Brighton area once you click on book it just says it's not available. Only London was showing as available. I lost time and money.

    Good, but used to be better

    I’ve been using Optimale for several years and it’s been a positive (probably life-changing) experience for the most part - a five star rating.
    However recently the service provided has regressed. Waiting almost 2 weeks for blood results is really not acceptable in my eyes. I appreciate it may not be directly their fault (an issue with the lab apparently) but it’s still affecting their patients.
    Secondly, there seems to be a very high turnover of doctors they use these days - it’s rare you’ll see the same one 2 times in a row anymore. The doctors themselves are great, but it’s never a good sign that they’re constantly changing them.
    Hopefully these are just temporary changes and it goes back to the same level of service it was a few years ago, where it was almost faultless.

    I’m really sorry to hear that your recent experience with Optimale hasn’t been what we would expect or aim for.

    That said, I’m very pleased to hear about the life-changing impact you’ve experienced overall — that truly means a lot to us.

    I also want to apologise for the recent delays with your blood results. Please be assured that this issue has now been resolved, and the Christmas period did unfortunately contribute to longer turnaround times than usual.

    Your feedback is completely valid, and we are actively taking it on board as we continue to refine how we structure and support the expansion of our clinical team.

    I genuinely value your loyalty and your honesty. Our goal remains exactly what it has always been — to provide a service that is seamless, reliable, and genuinely patient-centred.

    Not without hiccups, hopefully getting sorted

    I've amended this review after a very effective outreach from Amy at customer support today.

    My experience has not been without hiccups but hopefully it's all getting sorted.

    I'm 2 weeks in to having paid for my subscription but still await my product whilst my subscription has started and been paid for.

    Today this missing product has been addressed and should be being dispatched. My payment schedule has also been amended to reflect this delay.

    Customer support is taking a little longer than usual due to them navigating business change at present (a merger) but so long as the necessary changes and amends come through effectively I will be happy with the service received and will amend this review again as necessary.

    The doctors are great

    The doctors are great. The treatment works. There are a few downsides with using this company though. It’s a lot more expensive than other service providers, the blood tests are expensive and basically have to be done no later than Tuesday as any later they might not get tested as the labs aren’t open weekends. The price of the tests seem to go up every time I have one. Not to mention I’m basically paying £109 a month for a bottle of testosterone every 3 months and 4 doctors appointments. That’s over £1200 a year. Quite a lot considering anyone that knows, knows that you can get a bottle of testosterone for about £30-£50. For the £109 I think all blood tests should be included at a minimum. I think the hcg should be included if wanted to.

    I'm pleased to hear that you’ve found our doctors and treatment effective, and I truly value your perspective on the overall experience.

    I understand that cost is an important consideration. While it’s true that testosterone itself can be purchased at lower prices, our fee covers far more than just the medication. It includes ongoing medical oversight, regular consultations, and the safe administration of treatment tailored to each patient’s needs. This ensures that your therapy is monitored responsibly and with your long-term health in mind.

    Regarding blood tests, we do offer competitive rates and work closely with our partner labs to provide timely and accurate results. The scheduling requirements are in place to ensure samples are processed accurately, and we appreciate your understanding.

    I will look forward to hearing from you.

    I would not recommend...

    My partner signed up to optimale.
    At first they were fantastic, and seemed like nothing was too much.
    Now, it is a total turn around.
    He has explained to them how he is feeling as more often than not, there is no response.
    He ordered medication which has been delayed, and hasn't been told why which lead him to chasing them.
    My partner scheduled a telephone consultation for today and they never called. Didn't email, text or call to say it was cancelled, just didnt call. This is the straw that broke the camels back today.
    Working in the health sector myself I am very disappointed with the lack of care and response when he has contacted them with genuine concerns. I have asked him to stop Optimale and go through a private clinic that is near us. He joined based on the positive reviews he read. Seeing your partner breakdown due to feeling the way he is with no support from optimale even though he pays for a service, it outrageous.
    Optimale has had a negative impact on his mental health all the while taking his money and giving a sub standard service.
