How Renew & Wellness was born
When I was working in urgent care, I encountered a patient who had been suffering from symptoms for years. She had endured ongoing physical illness, unable to perform even the simplest tasks, and experienced daily episodes of vomiting that made her life miserable. Despite undergoing numerous tests and blood work, she had been repeatedly dismissed by various specialists. It was at the very end of my shift that she came to see me, and I made the deliberate choice to take the time to listen attentively. Through our conversations, I was able to uncover the true underlying root cause of her debilitating symptoms. This moment epitomized the essence of why I chose this path.
A moment of victory
The true victory came when her mother looked into my eyes and uttered these heartfelt words,
"You saved my daughter's life."
It was moments like these that reinforced my purpose and reaffirmed why I am so passionate about what I do today.
This story serves as a poignant reminder of the impact we can have as healthcare professionals when we actively listen, empathize, and relentlessly pursue solutions for our patients. This is the essence of what we do at renew.
How renew came to be
Renew and Wellness was born out of my belief in the power of preventive care and the profound impact it can have on our lives. I am passionate about helping individuals embrace a proactive approach to their well-being, empowering them with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to make lasting lifestyle changes.
I recently moved to the 30A area, after years visiting my family there and couldn’t be more excited to serve you!

Meet Dr. Dave Ferner
I am David J. Ferner, M.D., F.A.C.E.P. I have lived on 30A, since 2009, with my wonderful wife of 28 years, Kelli, my 26-year-old daughter, Kendalyn, and our pups: Rosie, Daisy, and Pierre. With over 30 years of experience in Emergency Medicine, I have witnessed a remarkable transformation in healthcare, ranging from commendable to disappointing, and at times, even alarming. In my career I have held various roles including direct patient provider, lecturer, administrator, and teacher. Throughout those 30 years, I envisioned a practice dedicated to personalized one-on-one direct patient care. Today, alongside Lauren, that vision has finally become a reality.
What is my vision, in collaboration with Lauren?
To deliver quality, thoughtful, compassionate, and exceptional care in an empathetic and safe environment- without oversight and interference from “third parties”. My passion for helping others is reflected in my extensive experience in emergency care. It is nowtime to channel that wealth of knowledge into a private practice, aimed at individuals, eager to enhance their health and wellness. I am particularly dedicated to helping others improve their quality of life through effective age management strategies. Additionally, I am committed to assisting individuals in maximizing performance and achieving their individual health and fitness goals. With a comprehensive approach, I utilize a wide range of medical and psychological tools to manage your metabolic syndrome”, hormonal issues, weight management, sexual health, and much more.
Over the past fifteen years on the panhandle, among my successes; I have cultivated close relationships with the specialists and sub-specialists within our medical community. These relationships will provide a solution to the accessibility barrier that exists in our current healthcare environment. These invaluable cooperative collaborations, I bring to you, as my patient.
It is now time to bring these success opportunities to you, your friends and associates, your families and even your employees. Lauren and I are a click away from “your” success story. We would be honored to join you on your journey.
