Patient Feedback:
"I can’t recommend Kathy highly enough and she is so experienced - I have consulted her for the past four or five years and she always provides such good advice. Responds quickly to any queries between my annual appointments and is so easy to talk to – consultation fees are also reasonably priced. Thank you Kathy."
"I have been supported by Kathy for many years . Kathy is very skilled and knowledgeable and I feel in very good hands regarding how I navigate my HRT. I would highly recommend Kathy to others."
"Incredible appointment. This is the first time I felt empowered, understood, and the ability to have a plan. Highly recommend."
"Felt listened to and understood. Received balanced, evidence based, personalised advice. Left the consultation feeling really well supported and confident about next steps."
"Excellent service, thorough and great help. Left very positive and hopeful."
"I can’t recommend Kathy highly enough. Before my first appointment, I read Kathy’s book which provided me with a great foundation to discuss my symptoms with her in that 1st meeting. Kathy gives you the time and space to explain how you’ve been feeling - and focuses on the best treatment for you (with a good dose of realism!). Her fees are incredibly reasonable, especially given the standard of care."
