  • If you have a history of cancer yourself, Dr Spencer may need to consult with your NHS specialists, so any correspondence from them is very helpful

Dr Spencer is happy to assess and treat for the whole scope of menopausal care, including body identical hormone replacement and testosterone. We will always work with evidence-based guidelines, mainly from the British Menopause Society and NICE, but will consult with other specialists as necessary to ensure the highest standards of patient care.
