Menopause and Premenstrual Disorder Care

Dr Cary is an experienced GP with a special interest in women’s health, mental health and menopause. She takes pride in offering women the time and personalised care they need to explore the best path for them. If Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is part of a patient’s management, she can help them find the safest and most effective treatment. Above all, Dr Cary believes in listening to her patients and working with them to help them feel their best.

Education and Experience

Dr. Cary completed her medical training at Cambridge University and gained membership in the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP) after several years in hospital medicine. She then transitioned to General Practice, where she enjoys the flexibility and “whole person” approach of the field. She holds diplomas in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Family Planning. She has achieved several menopause qualifications, including certification with the British Menopause Society (BMS), and is a proud member of the British and International Menopause Societies. She is a professional member of the International Association of Premenstrual Disorders (IAPMD) and part of their complex case discussion group.

As an Honorary Associate Professor at UEA, Dr Cary contributes to medical student education and is dedicated to providing the best care to her NHS and private patients.

Lifestyle and Interests

Dr Cary’s menopause training has fuelled her interest in lifestyle medicine and nutrition. She is enjoying putting this into practice at home, though her sons do not always share her enthusiasm! She is due to complete CBT training with the British Menopause Society later this year which will complement her interest in women’s mental health.

She enjoys keeping fit and active with running, tennis, and climbing and loves going on ski holidays with her husband and two sons.

Honestly, this was the number one medical appointment I have ever had. Being listened to and completely heard was such a relief and I felt that Dr Cary not only understood, but also empathised. Menopause has been an incredibly difficult transition for me and having someone so knowledgeable and on it to talk to made me feel instantly better. I’m really happy with the plan Dr Cary put in place and look forward to the follow up.

It was a relief to have time with someone so knowledgeable as Dr Cary, to be listened to and to feel confident there are HRT opportunities could work for me, even after being post menopausal for a few years now. To fully understand the long term benefits and the 10 year window feels like I’ve just made a really important decision for my future health.

Dr Carey was a breath of fresh air! It was good to be able to talk in detail about my symptoms, especially the vaginal ones as that have brought me so much discomfort and left me feeling extremely low for such a long time. She listened well, took my concerns seriously and explained in great detail how we should move forward with my treatment. Although I thought I was ‘rambling’ at times, she made me feel as if everything I was saying was valid. At the end of the 45 minutes she asked me if I had anything else to say, I was not made to feel rushed to leave on time although we had covered everything by this point anyway.

The appointment exceeded my expectations. My comments were treated with the utmost respect and understanding. The consultation made me make more sense of what was happening to me during my menopause which I think is very helpful to the whole process. The physical examination was very reassuring. We discussed treatment options, which were fully explained and my preferences were taken into consideration. I found the whole process very easy from booking the appointment, getting the information promised and the medication.

My appointment was exceptionally helpful. Dr Emily Cary was very knowledgeable and able to share this in  an accessible way. I particularly liked the holistic approach and the use of up to date research. Of equal importance, the appointment was managed with an excellent ‘bedside manner’. I would highly recommend.

Dr Emily Cary put me immediately at ease. It was very clear that she had read all my notes and was fully prepared and so we could get straight into my issues and concerns. I felt she was very knowledgable, and careful to really dig into what my menopause symptoms/concerns were to enable her to come up with a tailored and bespoke plan. We talked through everything and I really felt heard. Dealing with menopause feels like walking through a minefield and for the first time in years I felt that I was safely being navigated through! Overall the experience and outcome exceeded my expectations.

It was such a relief to be able to explain the whole range of symptoms that I’ve had over several years to Dr Cary, and to have them put into context and for a path forward to be identified. I now feel so much better and know where to go if and when I feel like I’m falling apart again! I can’t thank you enough.
