What past patients say...
Dr Smith has been fitting contraceptive devices for over 15 years, and has received many compliments, below are just a few.
Dr Smith has been amazing, caring and fully supportive as I navigated from peri-menopause to menopause over the last few years. With her guidance I now have an HRT protocol which allows me to live life well, has given me back my brain back and I feel like a whole person again.
If you are looking for a doctor who listens, problem solves with you, doesn’t diminish your personal experience, has deep expertise and demonstrates compassion and empathy in abundance that all describes Dr Smith.
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.
