Holistic management of the menopause transition in Bonn and throughout Germany

In order to make an appointment with me at MenoCare you must first set up an account with Doctolib. This is a safe and easy to use system and setting up an account is straightforward. Click here for more information regarding in person care in Bonn, and here for online consultations. If you are Geseztlich Versichert ie you have public insurance, as care through MenoCare is not covered by public healthcare you will have to cover the cost of your care yourself.

Whether online or in person during your first appointment with me at Menocare we will take an indepth look at your medical history, your current symptoms and your treatment goals. If you have any blood work or other relevant investigation already completed, you can upload them to Doctolib, or bring the results with you. This appointment will take around 45 minutes.

I recommend a follow up appointment 6-8 weeks after your first visit. This gives us the opportunity to assess your response to any treatment that has been started and tweak it accordingly. This appointment will last around 20 minutes. Further appointments at 6-8 weekly intervals might be necessary until a treatment plan is established. Thereafter I recommend an annual review to assess for any life or health changes that may influence your treatment. For more information on the treatment pathway in person click here and for online management click here.

Should you need to be reviewed outside the normal schedule please get in touch via colettewhitemenocare@gmail.com and I will arrange review as appropriate or make an appointment via Doctolib.

MenoCare is a Private Medical Practice. Costs are calculated with an ´Honorarvereinbarung`using the Grundlage der amtlichen Gebührenordnung für Ärzte (GOÄ). This is a regulated tariff and applies to those privately insured and those paying themselves. If you are privately insured, I recommend you check with your insurer if they will cover the costs of the treatment. I can not guarantee this. Unfortunately costs are not covered by the Gesetzlich Krankenkasse.

A 45 minute consultation will cost around €120 and a 20 minute consultation will cost €55.

If you require more information regarding costs please get in touch at colettewhitemenocare@gmail.com

Please also note that appointments that are not attended are not covered by health insurance. I kindly request that you inform me of a cancellation at least 24 hours in advance of the planned appointment. You can also cancel or rearrange your appointment via Doctolib.
Otherwise, I am entitled to charge you a cancellation fee of 100 € privately. (Case law according to §615 BGB). Although this is due immediately, it must be paid at the latest before the next appointment. Of course, I will consider individual cases, such as emergencies, to waive the cancellation fee solely at my discretion.

Often women require 2-3 appointments until a treatment plan is established which controls their symptoms. After this an annual review is recommended to assess symptom control and your risk profile so that treatment can continue to be presribed. There is no set time for which a woman can take hormone treatment. This is decided based on her symptoms, risk profile and her wishes.

No. During your appointment we can decided which investigations are necessary and I can help you locate a laboratory to have them done. We do not have to wait for blood tests before starting treatment.

There are various laboratories throughout Germany where you can have blood taken. The cost is calculated using the GOÄ. Should you need help locating a laboratory please get in touch at colettewhitemenocare@gmail.com
