Dr Susanne Åhlund
Very positive, I felt like I’d been heard. Advice given was very helpful and informative. My treatment plan has greatly improved my symptoms. It is easy to make contact for any follow up questions. So very pleased I made an appointment and I have recommended it to 2 other friends who have in turn been themselves.

Dr Ahlund was so helpful, understanding, knowledgeable and generally wants to help. I was very nervous for my appointment but she put me at ease, she took so much time to understand my complex medical history and current symptoms. I came out of my appointment feeling relieved that I have a plan going forward and reassurance that I’m not going to be dealing with this alone.

Meeting with Dr. Ahlund was like a breath of fresh air! From the moment I walked into her office, I felt welcomed and at ease. Dr. Ahlund’s attentiveness and genuine concern for my well-being made me feel heard and understood, something I had been longing for since my menopause symptoms began. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ahlund to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, helpful, and personable healthcare professional. She is a true advocate for her patients and a shining example of what exceptional medical care should be.

My appointment with Dr Ahlund exceeded expectations. Thought I had a good understanding already about HRT/menopause having been on it for some years, but still came out with much more information that I already knew. She was extremely helpful. Listened to all of my concerns and gave me lots of options along with reassurances on any worries I had. Very informative and helpful.

My appointment with Dr Ahlund met my expectations and she was very supportive. She spent a great deal of time with me and covered so many different things too.
SO
Dr Ahlund allowed me to bombard her with everything in my head, however random or trivial, or unrelated to the menopause. It was self indulgent, but hugely therapeutic & I am so grateful for the freedom to speak and the lack of judgement. I am particularly impressed by the insightful follow up letter that arrived within a matter of days. Reading it demonstrated to me that Dr Ahlund extrapolated the key factors in my muddled monologue. She highlighted and clarified the areas that are most problematic for me and gave some clear guidance on how to support me.
FL
My appointment today with Dr Ahlund was over and above. I have struggled with symptoms for such a long time and although I have a journey ahead, I felt listened too and totally believe Dr Ahlund will help me get through it.

My appointment with Dr Ahlund exceeded expectations. I felt heard for the first time in years and given hope. I honestly can’t thank you enough.

Dr Emily Cary
Dr Cary has a very friendly and caring approach. Extremely knowledgeable but information was given in a clear and concise way. The promptness of my letter to explain all that we had discussed was very much appreciated. I was also grateful for the added reading material to understand my conditions and options. My appointment exceeded my expectations.
JG
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.
LJ
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.
KP
My appointment was very positive. Dr Cary was warm, approachable, very knowledgeable in her field and provided me with all the information and reassurance I needed to make an informed choice.
MB
I was really pleased with the appointment. Dr Cary was incredibly compassionate, validated my experience and talked through the treatment options in depth.
CW
I find Dr Cary very easy to speak to and she quickly understands what the issue is and clearly lays out the options.
MF
Exceptional service. Dr Cary was approachable, empathetic, and supportive. I was made to feel completely at ease and most important of all, I was patiently listened to without judgment. I would have no hesitation to return to her care.
VB
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.
DL
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.
JR
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.
BE
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.
CS
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.

Mr Tim Duncan
Mr Tim Duncan was my consultant – very nice person and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. Have already recommended him to a friend who said the same when she saw him. Felt quite comfortable asking him questions.
I have nothing but positives to say about my consultant. He was utterly professional, acted in my best interests, exhibited an exemplary level of care for me and was compassionate and kind. He answered my questions, and gave me time to ask them. I couldn’t recommend more highly.
I have been seeing Mr Tim Duncan at Spire for over a year and at all my appointments he’s always explained everything fully and let me know my options. At no time did I feel rushed at my appointments and always left happy with what we had decided. He was always happy to answer any questions I had. He was very informative kind and extremely caring with all the issues I have had. Felt listen to and knew I was in the best possible hands.
As previously stated, I am incredibly impressed and grateful about the whole experience I had during my operation. I consulted Dr Tim Duncan after having a negative experience with a previous gynaecologist. From the very first appointment I had with Dr Duncan I felt that my decisions were respected and that I would be guided to make the right decision for me. I opted to have a hysterectomy based on the full confidence I had gained in Dr Duncan consultancy. It was a difficult decision to make but ultimately, I had complete faith that I was in good hands. I really felt listened to but also that Dr Duncan’s knowledge and experience is exceptional. He has a great manner with patients and strikes the right balance between sharing medical explanations and reasons for conditions but also recognising the personal impact and the individual’s personal experience. Dr Duncan is very respectful. I felt that he understood the impact the health problems I was having were affecting my daily life. For the first time I felt that there may be hope that I didn’t need to continue to suffer the pain I was experiencing. I am incredibly grateful that my surgery was scheduled around my professional and personal life. This has made such a difference to my ability to recover, look after two children and not have to miss the start of the academic year. After the hysterectomy I already feel that my quality of life will be improved from the operation. I am completely in awe of how skilful and minimally invasive the surgery was. I have healed incredibly quickly- the scars are minute, and I have been in very little pain. In fact, the speed of my recovery has been somewhat astounding- I didn’t imagine that it could feel so well so quickly! Every woman ought to have access to a gynaecologist as knowledgeable and caring as Dr Duncan. Sadly, since going through the process of having a hysterectomy many female colleagues have described negative experiences, they have had to me. I will be highly recommending Dr Duncan to them- he sets an exceptional standard for women’s healthcare that I cannot commend highly enough. I am incredibly grateful that he was recommended to be by one of his colleagues and I can see why he is so highly respected and regarded. I have nothing but praise and thanks for him.
Always a top notch experience- I’m listened to and my are concerns understood & responded to in such a professional and sympathetic manner. I will go as far as saying he has saved my life…when I hit perimenopause I fell to pieces and felt like I would lose everything I’d worked for. I’ve been fully restored and in some respects I feel even better now than I did before….I can’t sing his praises highly enough. Thank you.
Mr Tim Duncan has been wonderfull in his care and treatment of myself. From my initial consultation just under 2 years ago through to my surgery , and aftercare. I can honestly say my surgery was carried out with an exceptionally high standard of professionalism, and the aftercare was excellent. I have every confidence in mr Tim Duncan ,and have recommended him to many.
For the first time in 4 years I feel heard about my menopause symptoms. Mr Duncan informed me of lots of things I had no idea about. I came out with a smile on my face as I genuinely feel this might get better. Such a lovely, calm and kind consultant

Over and above my expectations. Clear, pragmatic, informative and such attention and care to assisting me make the right choice for my situation.
JT
My conversation with Dr Healy more than met my expectations. She listened carefully, was very understanding of the realities of menopause, holistic in her approach to the interaction of menopause with other factors, bringing huge expertise to the conversation. I needed her expertise, but her kindness counts for a lot when the hormones have put your head in a dark cloud. Thank you.
RR
The meeting was very informative and far exceeded the level of help offered by the GP practice which had left me feeling very unhappy. Dr Healy listened to what I had to say and guided me through the options available. I would highly recommend her.
PH
Yes, most definitely. Hannah was great as always and took care of my every need. Always caring and very knowledgeable about menopause. I am very grateful to Hannah as I finally feel like I am getting myself back to normal! I could not have done this without Hannah’s expertise. Thank you
KK
Hannah was absolutely lovely and made me feel so calm and listened to every thing I said. I felt heard for the first time ever since I was 15 going through horrendous pain with Endo I’ve never really talked about my Issues so it felt really good to have someone completely get it, in the Medical world as I’ve never had a dr understand any thing I’ve been through! Hannah’s knowledge of HRT is exceptional and I will be highly recommending her to all women stuffing with menopause and other gynaecology problems. I wish there had of been a Hannah 30 yrs ago !! Thank you for your caring and understanding ways Hannah.

Mr Paul Simpson
The Consultation was excellent and conducted with ease. I felt heard, understood and did not feel in any way judged. I am most grateful. It was beyond my expectations! Thank you.
I finally felt understood and my symptoms were explained with a diagnosis at long last.
Nothing to improve! Best consultation I’ve had.
It was good to finally see a doctor who understood and was sympathetic about my condition. It was a positive for me.
Mr Simpson was amazing and I can’t thank him enough.
I had a positive experience, I appreciate the in-depth knowledge about the topic discussed . I feel Mr Simpson listens attentively to my questions and concerns, and responds with patience and clarity. I felt comfortable asking for clarification whenever needed, and he always takes the time to ensure that I fully understood the information being conveyed.
Met all the expectations someone could ask for!
Mr Simpson was brilliant. He is the most educated, communicative and understanding consultant I have seen for my condition by a long way.
