Health in Menopause

After two years of being ignored and denied the help I was asking for from my GP I decided to go private. I did my research on Google where I found Health in Menopause with excellent reviews. I made my appointment online and went to see Dr Alice Duffy last month. She is truly a breath of fresh air! Very knowledgeable professional and compassionate person. She listened to me and asked a lot of questions to get to know me and understand the issues. She then explained menopause and treatment in great detail. At the end of my appointment I felt as if the weight had been lifted off my shoulders and that I have been given a chance to get my life back on track. I received the prescription for HRT the same day, and it was delivered to me the next day. I would like to wholeheartedly recommend Dr Alice's Duffy services to anyone struggling with menopause or perimenopause symptoms. Thank you very much for all you do to help women get through this incredibly difficult stage in our lives.

The appointment with Dr Duffy was quick and easy to arrange on line with many choices of dates to attend. You pay in advance and I feel it was well worth the fee as I had a good hours consultation, never felt rushed and really felt at the center of all the decision making regarding my ongoing care plan, blood tests and treatment options. I received a lot of information which was then also sent to me following the consultation by email which is very useful when your memory is not always as reliable as it once was. I was also sent a number of pieces of useful information prior to the consultation. During the consultation I opted to take a blood test and a private prescription for which i was sent a secure link to pay for the items and they arrived at my home the following day by DPD. Making a follow up consultation was simple to arrange with plenty of date choices and again done via a link which comes the same day with the post consultation letters for both you and your GP.I really cannot recommend Dr Duffy highly enough, she puts you immediately at ease and is both engaging and informative and uses language which is easy to understand. She really takes care of you and makes you feel like you have all the time you need to get to the bottom of all your concerns. I feel extremely positive for my future in navigating all the changes that have made such an impact on my life over the past few years. Already I feel so supported and ready to get back to living my life in the way i always did in the past. Thank you Dr Duffy.

After many years of experiencing menopausal symptoms but not liking the look of any medical solutions, and trying umpteen natural options, I lived in hope that surely they couldn’t last much longer. I finally had to admit defeat and booked an appointment with Dr Duffy following a friend’s recommendation and I’m so pleased I took the plunge.Having thought I’d missed the boat regarding HRT (late 60s) Dr. Duffy carried out a full risk assessment and then explained about the misconceptions around HRT. I came away with a plan going forward, and yes, though I am a little nervous about starting a new drug, it’s clear that it is well worth a try and Dr. Duffy has given me the confidence to do so. I can thoroughly recommend Dr. Duffy to anyone experiencing symptoms whatever your age. She is extremely knowledgeable and you will be listened to with kindness and compassion. Many thanks.

A really positive experience that I have already recommended to most of my friends, even the ones who are much younger, so they’re prepared!Dr Duffy was great, easy to talk to and I felt listened to and understood. She is clearly very knowledgeable about menopause and HRT and it was really interesting discussing this with her.My prescription arrived within 24hrs, no hassle at all.An absolutely worth while investment in staying healthy and happy!

Dr Duffy was so empathic, knowledgable and easy to speak to. Yet to be seen in terms of how the prescription pays off but so far so very good. Thanks

I contacted health in menopause because I was given a breast cancer diagnosis and had to come off my HRT. Dr Alison Macbeth was kind, patient, extremely knowledgeable and was able to put my mind at rest whilst offering me alternative solutions to HRT which had changed my menopausal symptoms massively and were now back with a vengeance since having to stop my HRT. I felt heard and valued and I was treated with respect and dignity. I was also able to discuss my cancer treatment and the effects of endocrine treatment on my body. i felt emotional and frightened and was reassured. It was so good to know that there are other options available to me if I am not able to take HRT at this time. Breast cancer and the menopause at the same time? Tricky !!! but Health in Menopause were incredible.

I cannot recommend Dr Duffy enough. What a gift of a human being. I have spent the last 3 years of my life battling with the most crippling perimenopausal symptoms and have tried my hardest to overcome them all through Nutrition and exercise. This helped quite a bit but I have still been left with debilitating insomnia among other things. I also have a real phobia of doctors so I have avoided facing up to how I've been feeling for quite some time until I almost reached breaking point. I couldn't bring myself to go to my GP to discuss this. Then the lovely Dr Duffy was recommended to me by several ladies I know so I finally bit the bullet and made an appointment.Yesterday I met her in person for my first consultation. Her wonderful smile lit up the room and her great humour instantly relaxed me. She was phenomenal and unbelievably thorough, answering all my questions and addressing every single one of my fears with science based evidence and such compassion. My husband and I were with her for well over an hour and by the time it came to leave I felt fully armed with such a positive raft of information and all my preconceptions about HRT had fallen away. I felt empowered and so grateful. I can honestly say, my consultation with Dr Duffy was life changing.No sooner had I left the room, my prescription was pinged through on my phone. I was sent a link to pay on line and then another link was sent with my delivery schedule. Less than 24 hours after my consultation I have my patch already on! The whole service was unbelievably slick, hassle free and smooth (such a great website/software programme) and I have already booked my follow up appointment for three months time.I have gone from being completely 'anti - HRT' (due to my fears and misconceptions around it) to tearing open my package of joy this morning in a race to slap that patch on. This is all down to Dr Duffy and her vast knowledge of this complex subject and above all, her enormous heart. The approach that Dr Duffy provides is holistic which is also what appealed - she recognises that nutrition and exercise play a big part in all of this too and in my case, HRT was the final piece of the puzzle.With Dr Duffy you genuinely feel she cares and has a passion for helping her fellow women, many of whom are probably like me - in a very dark place. I now feel there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I have hope for the future.Booking an appointment with Dr Duffy is the best thing you can do for your midlife hormones. Having Dr Duffy help me navigate through the dark waters of the menopause has removed all the profound fear I was experiencing and I cannot thank her enough for showing such compassion. I no longer feel alone on this journey.

Dr Duffy is amazing so friendly, caring and extremely knowledgeable, she has definitely given me confidence that there is light at the end of this tunnel I have been stuck in for 10 years, I highly recommend going to see her.

I saw Dr Ball this week for an annual review of my HRT after using an alternative clinic previously. Dr Ball carried out a thorough check of my history, discussed my preferred treatment options in a very supportive way and suggested some helpful advice around exercise and supplements that will hopefully improve a few ongoing niggles for me. She took plenty of time with me and I felt very comfortable to discuss all aspects of my life and wellbeing with her. Will definitely return for my next annual review or if I have any new problems in the meantime.

I had a consultation with Dr Duffy 4 weeks ago.My issues have been complex and very challenging to treat. My own GP lacked the time and skills to address my concerns.Dr Duffy was very kind and actively listened, taking a very comprehensive history.At the time of the consultation I was in a very dark place emotionally, I was experiencing full blown symptoms. My quality of life was non existent.I would like to say following advise and treatment from Dr Duffy I am beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel.I still have to tread carefully because my issues are complex and relate to histamine difficulties.I have more energy, hot flushes improved and I can think more clearly. My mood is also a little better.I would encourage every woman struggling to manage symptoms of menopause to arrange a consultation. It is definitely a worthwhile investment.Thank you Dr Duffy.
