Client Testimonials

The following testimonials are from patients seen in our NHS clinics.

I found the clinic to be a fantastic experience; I have medical complications from a stroke and Dr Walker was so knowledgeable and went above and beyond researching possible combinations for me. I was incredibly grateful that someone had finally listened to me. I have recommended Dr Walker to my friends and cannot recommend more highly.
Dr Allan genuinely cares about how you feel not just because it is her job. She is interested in you as a person. I find it really easy to open up to her which I dont do very often with people.
Absolutely amazing doctor! Told Dr Allan about my concerns and problems and she listened throughly and weighed up all options for me explained them and let me choose what was best for me. She has a very walking calming presence which made me feel very comfortable in my appointment. If any of my family have appointments with her I am the first to say ah she’s absolutely amazing.
Dr Allan is one of the best doctors I’ve ever had. She is so attentive and really listens to what I have to say and has persisted to help me gain a diagnosis and feel better in myself.
It was so fantastic to talk to Dr Walker regarding the menopause. Dr Walker immediately put me at ease and listened to my symptoms and offered different options. We decided on HRT which has changed my life - for the better. Dr Walker was very informative, made a full assessment and gave very clear advice. Finally someone who understood what I was going through and could help!
Dr Thompson was extremely knowledgeable, kind and sympathetic. She explained things thoroughly, didn’t rush, and answered every question. I felt very comfortable speaking to her, and she made sure I understood all my options. She was professional, approachable and put me at ease straight away.”
“This is a wonderful service for women of menopausal age - it is long overdue. The doctor was amazing, supportive and understanding, and more women need to know this service is available. I feel very lucky and relieved to finally have expert help, and I am ecstatic that we can get the support we need instead of just being expected to cope.”

Frequently asked questions

We do not charge an additional fee for issuing a private prescription during your appointment. The cost of the medication itself is paid separately to our partner pharmacy, who will contact you to arrange payment and delivery.
 
Some women ask their NHS GP to issue the prescription instead. Some NHS GPs are happy to prescribe based on our recommendations, but this decision is at your GP’s discretion. With your permission, we’ll send them a detailed letter outlining our assessment and treatment recommendations.

Sometimes we recommend blood tests to help guide your care.

These may be used to assess hormone levels, investigate other possible causes of your symptoms, check your general health, assess suitability for specific medication, or monitor treatments.
 
Blood tests aren’t normally necessary for diagnosing menopause, but in some cases they can be useful where there is uncertainty.

Blood tests are essential when diagnosing premature ovarian insufficiency (premature menopause). They are also an essential part of safely prescribing and monitoring testosterone replacement.

If your consultation takes place online, we’ll arrange blood tests at a partner clinic close to you.

Once your blood test results are back, they’ll be reviewed by your doctor. You’ll receive an email with: 
  • Your test results 

  • A summary of what they mean 
  • 
Any next steps, such as changes to your plan or a prescription 
 
We aim to keep the process clear and personal, so you understand exactly what’s happening. 
After your first consultation, we usually recommend a review at 3 months to check in on your progress and make any adjustments. 
 
 
To ensure your treatment remains safe and effective, we ask all patients receiving ongoing prescriptions from us to have a review at least once every 12 months. If it’s been more than two years since your last appointment, you’ll need to start again with a new consultation. 
Yes. We prescribe testosterone for women who continue to experience distressing low sexual desire despite otherwise responding well to HRT.
 
We monitor treatment carefully with blood tests before treatment and again after 3 months. Once treatment is stable, blood tests are checked annually. We’ll help you stay on track with this. 
They might – but it’s up to them. Some GPs are happy to prescribe treatment based on our recommendations; others may not. We always give you a copy of your treatment plan to share if you wish. 
We understand that you may have questions after your first appointment, so we include one complimentary follow-up email to answer any straightforward queries about your treatment plan or medication.
 
If you need more detailed advice, want to discuss new symptoms, review your treatment, or make changes to your medication, we offer shorter follow-up consultations and telephone appointments for existing patients. These are available to existing patients for an additional fee and are a convenient way to get ongoing support without needing a full consultation.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) 

HRT can be life-changing in reducing hot flushes, brain fog, mood changes, sleep issues, and more. Some women notice improvements within a few weeks, while for others it can take a few months to feel the full benefit.
Finding the right dose or combination sometimes takes a little adjustment, and we’ll work with you to achieve the best balance of symptom control and side effects.
 
It’s also common to experience some early side effects as your body adjusts, such as breast tenderness, bloating, or mild bleeding – these often settle on their own.

 

Testosterone 

It can take several months to notice improvements in sexual desire, arousal and sexual satisfaction. Some women also see improvements in energy and mood.
 
This treatment is monitored closely with blood tests. We’ll check your levels at 3 months, then yearly once stable, to ensure safety and effectiveness. 

 

 

There is no fixed time limit for taking HRT. Many women benefit from treatment for several years, and some continue for much longer. We review treatment regularly and help you weigh up the benefits and any potential risks based on your age, health and preferences.
