Why is it so hard to get the care I need

So you have made an appointment to talk to your primary care doctor or your regular gynecologist about your menopausal concerns. You have waited weeks or months to get into see them, you have to take time o work for the appointment, you wait forever in the waiting room, spend lots of wasted time filling out paperwork or the terrible patient portal forms, and sit in the room waiting for the busy physician to come in to see you. Then, when you finally bring up your concerns or questions, the doctor is either dismissive, or tells you they can’t help you, or feels unequipped to offer you solutions. They have to rush out to the next patient, and you are left frustrated. This is the common scenario I hear every day with my menopausal patients. They have so many questions and concerns, and feel they are not getting any help from traditional medical practice visits. Accessing the care you need can be challenging due to several factors. Many healthcare systems are overwhelmed, resulting in limited appointment availability and shorter consultation times. Additionally, menopause is often not prioritized in medical training, leading to a lack of expertise and time allocated to discussing it during visits. This can leave patients feeling unheard and unsupported as they navigate their symptoms. This is where I come in. I am different. I am doing this because I love this work.
