What our clients say
Your consultation
At The Meyer Menopause Clinic the menopause is demystified and put into perspective. From the moment you sit down with Dr Meyer at your initial consultation, our aim is to provide you with a personalised diagnosis and treatment plan.
“After seeing Dr. Meyer I have got my life back. I thought I was going crazy and my family thought I was going crazy. I feel my normal self once again”
Dr Meyer firmly believes that since women will be spending nearly half of their lifetimes on the other side of the menopause they may as well be as healthy, active and strong as they possibly can be. She wants to help women make informed choices about how to live this, potentially wonderful and special, stage of their lives.
Her manner is warm, calm and reassuring
“I felt in safe hands. There is so much conflicting advice out there, save yourself the time and confusion and book to see her asap. Personally, it has been transformational”
The Initial Consultation
Your initial consultation will be with Dr Meyer. She will ask you about symptoms, medical history, current medication, any concerns and expectations. She will also recommend any baseline blood tests (additional cost).
Bring your ‘Clinical Summary Sheet’, which your own GP can provide. Also, any recent pelvic ultrasound scans (USS), blood tests or relevant investigations.
The Treatment Plan appointment two to six weeks post the Initial consultation
Dr Meyer will discuss her diagnosis with you and prescribe a course of medication.
Review appointment eight to twelve weeks after commencing treatment
This is an opportunity to discuss how you are feeling, whether symptoms have improved or stayed the same, or whether you have any concerns. It is important at this stage to bear in mind that any treatment is still bedding in, but you are likely to have noticed some improvement.
Your level of medication may be increased and further blood tests may be required to ensure your hormone levels are being brought back into balance.
“I had no idea that balancing my hormones could make such a difference to my quality of life”.
Six month review
This is a full review of your treatment and how you are feeling. Any underlying issues will be discussed and appropriate changes to your treatment prescribed. A pelvic USS may be booked to monitor your body’s internal condition and to spot any unusual signs or issues.
On-going reviews
It is a good idea to review your progress and treatment plan on a six-monthly basis. Dr Meyer will be able to fine-tune your medication to ensure you continue to experience a full and healthy lifestyle.
“Dr Meyer was very thorough in her investigation and management. I can say that my relationship with my husband is back on track and I feel so much better”.

We are often asked the question: ‘what are bioidentical hormones?’ As every woman is unique, we do not all react in the same way to hormonal changes in our bodies.
Mainstream HRT on offer can help resolve a lot of our issues, but some symptoms need a different approach. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) can be used to achieve that fine balance that may be needed for an individual woman. It is important to be able to choose the most effective and appropriate treatments to give us the hormonal balance we require in our perimenopause and menopause. It is therefore vital that only a clinician experienced in managing Women’s Health and hormone balance takes responsibility for the treatment.
With Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), we offer a fine balance that may be needed for an individual woman to ease the signs associated with perimenopause and menopause. When experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to have access to options for the most effective and appropriate treatments required to achieve your natural and optimal hormonal balance in safe hands.
Bioidentical hormones were first derived from diosgenin, a substance obtained from Mexican yams. Similar in their molecular structure to those found in the body, these hormones work effectively with your body with lower the chances of side effects. To ensure the effectiveness of the hormone treatment, the dose can be fine-tuned to each individual woman and her symptoms.
