Your first visit
What to expect at your first visit.
Every visit follows the same four steps, so you always know what comes next.
Your first consultation is private and unhurried. You will be heard first, your options will be explained plainly, and nothing will be recommended before you have been properly assessed.
- You are heard first
- Assessment only where it changes the advice
- No pressure to proceed
A visit that begins with listening
Built so you never feel rushed.
Many women tell us they have put off an appointment because they expected to feel rushed or judged. We built the visit the other way round.
All of our doctors are women. You will be matched to the right doctor for your concern, and you are welcome to ask questions at any point, including the ones that feel awkward.
“There are no silly questions here.”
The four steps
From hello to follow-up.
i.
Consultation
Your concerns and history, in your own words, with no time pressure.
ii.
Assessment
An examination or targeted tests, only where they will change the advice. Your doctor explains each step before it happens.
iii.
Personal plan
Your options explained honestly, including those that do not need a procedure.
iv.
Follow-up
Progress reviewed over time, and the plan adjusted when needed.
