Oxford Menopause Avis 74

My perimenopause needs are a pain and I wanted to see if blood hormone tests would help in solving my problems. I was getting nowhere with NHS so I visited this practice and, after my consultation my HRT was changed to patches. Unfortunately that brought out so much anxiety in me. I phoned back and explained how this had made me feel and another appointment was made. More blood tests given this time. After explaining my symptoms in more detail they advised me as to what they think my ‘illness’ is so I will have to discuss further with my NHS GP. This clinic has sent the consultation details to my GP so hopefully I can push further to get help/drugs in that area. Very grateful for the time given here to help diagnose my condition.

Dr Kennedy is brilliant. I had my appointment with her a few days ago. She is a very good listener. Felt really good after talking to her as I am suffering with all menopause symptoms. Thank you dr Kennedy

I had my first menopause appointment today with Dr Helen Kennedy, and I just want to say thank you.
Dr Helen didn’t just listen — she truly heard me. It was such a relief to feel understood and reassured that I’m not alone in this. She’s put a clear plan in place, and for the first time in a while, I’m feeling hopeful and positive about the road ahead.

If you’re struggling with symptoms and feel like no one is really listening, please know you’re not alone. I can’t recommend Dr Helen highly enough.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this wonderful clinic and the staff. Although quite a distance from my home I was highly recommended, Dr Katie Barber, by a client of mine and after my visit I can completely understand why. Like most women, this time in my life has been truly awful to navigate and with very little support elsewhere I just really wanted to be listened to and understood. Like others have said, the clinic is based in beautiful surroundings which immediately lessens your anxiety. The staff are so welcoming and friendly making you feel immediately at ease. From the minute I met Katie, I knew it was the best decision to see someone private. She was empathetic and reassuring, explaining things to me that I had never been told. The information she gave me was clear and easy to understand, and she answered my questions/concerns. All the details of our appointment were sent through by email that day. I now believe I can find a way back to a more positive me with her support and guidance. Thank you so much.

From my very first enquiry, I couldn’t rate the team highly enough. Today, I saw Dr. Kennedy, a menopause specialist, and walked out feeling truly validated. For years, I thought I was going mad, but she helped me understand that what I’ve been experiencing is real.

Dr. Kennedy went above and beyond; nothing was too much trouble. For the first time in a long time, I felt I had a voice. I’m so grateful.

What an incredible place. The staff and Dr were extremely efficient, professionally but mainly understanding.

After years of struggling with surgical menopause symptoms, I finally feel heard and seen at the Oxford Menopause Clinic. Dr. Barber isn’t just a doctor, she feels like a compassionate (knowledgeable!) friend on this tough journey with me. Her care has given me (and my husband) hope that I can regain a sense of normalcy one day - which makes the private treatment worth every penny.

The clinic itself is in a beautiful location with easy parking, and all the staff are warm, friendly, and supportive. Every visit is a positive experience. I can’t recommend this clinic highly enough. Thank you for your exceptional care.

This was my first visit to the clinic. From the welcome at the reception, to bloods being taken and finally my visit to Kate Barber, everything happened with great ease and friendliness. Dr Barber was very informative guiding me through everything and giving me the time and chance to discuss everything. I would highly recommend this clinic.

I attended this clinic today on the recommendation from a friend to see Katie Barber. Katie was amazing,so easy to speak to,put me at ease straight away and I felt so confident in the information she provided. The whole team were really welcoming to my husband & I,offering a cup of tea and just very friendly. The clinic is in a beautiful quite location so no big busy hospital. I cannot recommend them enough. If you are struggling with menopause issues I would definitely say to contact them. 🥰

I have been under the care of GP's and various specialists over the years for menopause issues and related health concerns . I wanted a holistic approach to my menopause experience and this is exactly what I recieved. I felt listened to and left feeling that I had some useful advice which had been clearly explained.

I saw Dr Kennedy yesterday as a last resort after being swapped around from doctor to doctor and none of them knowing what to do with me. Dr Kennedy put a plan in place for me and made me feel safe and comfortable given her knowledge of menopause and perimenopause and I left feeling thinking “finally”. I am very appreciative of her advice and feel like I have something to look forward to as far as good health goes. Thank you.

I would say the only downside is that the practice is not registered with insurance companies and my insurance would not accept them.

I also want to mention how helpful the receptionist, Karen (I believe) was and how kind she was to me! Thank you

Excellent service. Very friendly, understanding and professional

I can't recommend Oxford Menopause highly enough. The team are very friendly and professional and the practice is lovely. Everything is explained in an easy way to understand and I have always felt informed and very much part of my treatment. Dr Barber is incredibly approachable, understanding and hugely knowledgeable on all things Menopause.

The Oxford Menopause Clinic was a joy to visit. The building is lovely, the staff were great (and so friendly and helpful). They've been a real boost of hope in my menopause journey. Thank you for your care of others.

I have been going to Katie Barber for over 10 years. She is so kind and has helped me navigate the problems that go with the menopause and HRT. Quick to respond and answers to problems always makes you feel more reassured and confident. The staff there are wonderful too.

Superb experience. Very professional. Excellent clinician. Felt welcomed and listened too. Fully appraised of options and clear notes and prescription. Recommend highly.

A completely professional and friendly experience. I now feel empowered to manage my situation and Helen and the team gave me complete confidence. I’m so pleased I was recommended to seek them out. It is the first time I feel that I have had enough time to be listened to and had things explained clearly to me. Thank you.

Very professional, knowledgable, caring, understanding and reassuring. I would thoroughly recommend Dr Katie Barber to anyone. All the staff were very welcoming.

This is a lovely clinic, well run throughout the business. The reception team, have a warm friendly and welcoming nature (always happy to help and calm in nature). All nurses met were professional and kind. The specialist GPs are very welcoming and friendly, nothing seems too much trouble. A special shout out Dr Helen Kennedy, she is simply amazing and really knows her subject matter on female health. Also, a great expect in fitting coils, no pain felt and put me at great ease. Thank you! I highly recommend this clinic to anyone reading this review.

I 100% echo the previous reviewers and recommend Oxford Menopause fully. All of the staff I met put me at ease and thanks to the lovely lady on reception who made me a great cup of tea!

Helen is wonderful. After my GP made me feel like I was going mad/a hypochondriac (stating I was too young for Peri at 42) I finally felt listened too and my experience validated. I now have clear next steps and a hopeful light at the end of the tunnel.

I have no hesitation in recommending you

Thank you
