I have struggled to find the correct balance with HRT over the past 5 years or so. With conflicting information from my GP and having to do my own research, I decided to just see a specialist and get some more informative help. Seeing Susanne Ahlund was the right choice. With a few tweaks here and there and a backup plan moving forward, I am confident that the expert help I received at my first consultation will help me feel better in myself, and finally find a HRT regime that will suit me. I would highly recommend seeking help from a Menopause specialist.
After having breast cancer I am unable to have HRT, during chemotherapy my hot flushes continued and my insomnia which I had already suffered from for about 7 years got worse, I also take Anastrozole which I feel makes my symptoms worse. I decided to look into a Dr that specialises in menopause and found Dr Ahlund., I made an appointment at the spire which I didn’t have to wait too long for, Dr Ahlund listened to my problem and came up with options to try, I found her very understanding and kind also had plenty of time for me, i left the clinic feeling I had found some help. The appointment was followed up promptly with an email about my appointment and what route of treatment to try. It’s early days yet but I feel positive I will see improvement soon, I would definitely recommend Norfolk menopause.
My experience with Dr Susanne Ahlund was just what I needed to understand my menapause symptoms. I felt she took time to listen, never felt rushed, and explained everything very clearly. We covered all options and I left feeling confident.
I had a very good recent visit with Dr Ahlund. It has been reassuring to get check ups and have time to talk about my progress. Dr Ahlund was once again very helpful and supportive with advice and next steps with my progress.
Dr Ahlund has been very thorough and understanding with regards to finding the best way forward for me. Dr Ahlund is very kind and makes you feel at ease. I have so much more energy and feel very positive after struggling having gone through an early menopause.
Dr Ahlund has literally changed my life with giving me back the hormones I needed. I’m so greatful for her patience, knowledge and for being so understanding. I always leave feeling like I have a plan moving forward and feeling like I’m being supported, this has made such a difference after feeling alone in my hormonal issues for a long time.
My recent appointment was to talk about trying testosterone as part of my HRT regime. Dr Ahlund took the time to explain everything I needed to know and answered all my questions. Dr Ahlund is very easy to talk to and has a very calm and supportive approach. She is very understanding and always makes me feel at ease. I wasn't getting the support and HRT medication I needed from my GP practice so turned to the Norfolk Menopause clinic for additional help. Thanks to the help of Dr Ahlund I am now on HRT and back to feeling much more like my old self. Having the time to talk to someone so knowledgeable is so important at this stage of life and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both the clinic and Dr Ahlund.
It was really good talking to Dr Ahlund. I felt she really listened to all my concerns about symptoms and talked in detail about useful next steps. The appointment was thorough and Dr Ahlund was patient and understanding throughout. My husband really appreciated being able to sit in on the appointment too and listen to the helpful feedback.
I was at the clinic for a follow-up appointment due to some returning symptoms. As always Dr Ahlund was caring and compassionate. We talked through everything and I was given so much helpful advice and information for my journey going forward. My medication was reviewed and everything was explained clearly. My new prescription was sent same day. I went in feeling lost and came out of my appointment with answers and hope. I can't thank Dr Ahlund enough for all her care so far. Anyone who is on the fence about private care, do it. It is worth it.
Dr Ahlund, is very kind and puts you at ease. She is thorough, and both listens and explains all options. I would highly recommend visiting her.
