She brings a strong medical knowledge and a firm understanding of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and holistic care to her patients.
Expert Knowledge
We provide consultations based on the most up-to-date global research on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) treatments and menopause management.
Menopause Focussed
We are solely focussed on the needs of women in this phase of life and offer a more detailed and comprehensive service than a standard GP appointment
Longer Consults
We offer extended 45-minute consultations instead of the typical 15-minute appointments to ensure you do not feel rushed and can have all your concerns addressed fully.
Holistic Approach
While HRT is a key part of what we offer, we believe in treating the whole person. Our doctors also advise on lifestyle and natural approaches to help you thrive in this life-phase.
