Yes! We have a range of clinics both online and in-person. You can view all of our clinic locations under Our Clinics.

Can I expect a prescription after the first consultation?

The short answer is, it depends.If your consultation is straightforward, we may prescribe there and then.In more complex cases, younger women, or where other diagnoses may be queried, we may suggest you have some investigations and/or blood tests done first, and then a follow up consultation.These can be done by your GP or privately.

Are we covered by private insurance?

Sometimes. If your policy covers wellness or general practice then often yes, otherwise no.Please check with your Medical Insurance provider.Although Menopause is not often covered by medical insurance, one of our consultants – Endocrinologist Dr Catherine Napier – is a registered provider and on the specialist registered list so you may find that your insurance might be covered with her. Dr Napier can be seen either In-Person at our Durham Clinic or Online Consultation.

Dr Karen listened and understood and even made me laugh about it all. She gave me valuable advice and the process of actually obtaining the meds was amazing.

Dr Elphinstone was so easy to talk to and explained all methods of treatment so well. The whole experience was very comforting and made me feel very relieved.

Philippa

This is an excellent service, Dr Emma Ping listened, was very thorough and professional and tailored a treatment plan for my needs. I felt confident in her judgement

J.Marson

A Dr who listened, gave great advice and didn't rush you - this type of service is so needed. And to also talk through everything with you, offer the right medicines and be caring and honest.

Victoria.B

Kate has a lovely calm and kind way. I would also like to say the introduction of the complimentary menopause coach sessions with Jane James have been incredible

Lisa.C

Dr Naomi Potter is thorough, caring and clued up. She reads your notes ahead of time and prepares with questions and attention. Very happy with my appmnt with her and the regime I am on.

Minal.P

My menopause care and symptoms only made sense after dealing with Dr Charlotte Gooding. So glad I found her!

Wendy.B

Dr Andrew was very helpful, understanding and thorough. All of my questions and needs were answered

Debbie.G

I would 100% recommend Menopause Care. From making a booking, the consultation and aftercare the process was flawless and I was listened and reassured every step of the way.

Louise.H

Dr Lydia has been fantastic. I feel in safe hands and she is incredibly knowledgeable about every element of the menopause. I don’t know what I would do without her, as the menopause can feel like a mine-field, constantly throwing up new symptoms and new challenges.

Rachel.J

I have seen both Dr Lydia and Dr Liz in this time, both doctors are fantastic. Extremely caring, knowledgeable and down to earth. I always feel so anxious before menopause appointments due to previous terrible medical experiences but I always feel so at ease and relieved when I come off the calls.

Jade.S

I’ve just had my second consultation with Dr Emma Ping and she is just so nurturing, caring and such an expert. I have ADHD and have really struggled the last few years with my hormones. Emma made me feel validated and has given me hope that I’m not just losing my mind.

Sally.S

I spoke to Dr Emma Ping about my symptoms and possible ways to address these. I felt heard and was offered clear explanations about the menopause and HRT. Her approach was tailored to my needs and the plan she proposed has worked really well for me.
