I had an IUD fitted with Dr Smith and whilst it was a little uncomfortable, it was a lot better than I’d been anticipating! She was excellent as was her assistant and I felt very reassured whilst having the procedure done.

Contraceptive Coils & Implants
At The Coil Clinic, we specialise in the insertion and removal of the hormonal (IUS) coils, Mirena and Kyleena, and the non-hormonal (IUD) copper coil. We also insert and remove the Nexplanon contraceptive implant.
Hormonal Coils
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are highly effective, long-term contraception options. They are small, T-shaped devices inserted into the uterus, providing reliable birth control.
Non Hormonal Coils
The copper coils effectiveness and long-lasting protection make it a reliable choice for many individuals seeking non-hormonal birth control options
Implants
The contraceptive implant, a small rod inserted under the skin, releases hormones to prevent pregnancy for up to three years.
