I found Colene Smith from a friend (I had seen her in another practice for years before) and so grateful to have reconnected with her to assist in my HRT journey. I could never have imagined what a game changer her expertise and direction would make in how I feel today compared to last July when I met with her for the 1st time at Optimal Health and Wellness. She cares! She listens to you and she advises you with the best path forward. She is spot on with her knowledge and I am so glad to have found her ( again) to get me to where I am today!

I feel heard and seen at Optimal Health & Wellness Center. Colene listens to my concerns and we work together on solutions until I feel like myself again. Colene has me feeling human again and assured me my symptoms were not in my head. She has helped me regulate my hormones with BHRT and helped optimize my thyroid as well. I am grateful to be aging with optimal health!

My Experience at Optimal Health & Wellness Center: From my initial visit in the spring of this year up to the present, my journey at the Optimal Health & Wellness Center has been nothing short of extraordinary. I am deeply grateful to Almighty God for guiding me to this place, where I have received a level of care and consideration unlike anything I have experienced before. Exceptional Care from Colene Smith, MSN, APRN, FNP-C and SPELIALIZE IN HRT AND WEIGHTLOSS: My practitioner, Colene Smith, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, who specializes in HRT and weight loss, has truly been an answer to my prayers. I am so thankful to Almighty God for leading me here.  Her approach to patient care stands out for its professionalism and expertise, surpassing any medical consultant I have previously encountered. Colene provided clear guidance throughout every step of my treatment, thoroughly explaining what I could expect and drawing on her impressive knowledge within her specialty. Her understanding went far beyond that of other experts in her field that I have experienced. She is truly amazing! Personalized Attention and Support: Colene Smith treated me with the utmost warmth, making me feel not only like a valued patient but also like family. She never hurried through appointments, always taking the time to address my numerous questions and concerns. Her commitment to follow-up care ensured that I felt supported both during and after my procedure. Gratitude and Lasting Impact: I am profoundly thankful for Colene’s compassion, kindness, and generosity—qualities that have truly made a lasting difference in my life. The positive changes she has helped me achieve are beyond words, and I cherish her not only as my practitioner but also as my friend. Moving forward, I am committed to continuing my life’s journey toward optimal health with Colene Smith and the Optimal Health & Wellness Center as my trusted guides. Here are 3 beautiful Bible verses that I would love to share.  they speak of Almighty God’s great love and sacrifice to save Everyone: John 3:16 & 17… “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be Saved.” And “Romans 10:13 “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” God bless you all!

I cannot say enough great things about Colene and her practice. I reached out because I was not getting the answers that I was searching for from my OB with HRT and perimenopause symptoms. I felt unheard and dismissed. Colene was open to hearing my concerns and offered me different options. I have felt much better am sleeping much better and overall excited that I was provided alternatives by someone who was willing to listen.

The care that Colene Smith has provided is life changing! I highly recommend a consultation if you are looking to get back to being your best self. She listens compassionately and validates your concerns regarding your health. I felt like an active participant in choosing options that work best for me and well supported throughout the process. I’ve shared her name with many friends who have also felt the void in perimenopausal healthcare.
