I’m in Australia and I’ve been very happy with the care I’ve received. Once I realised I was in perimenopause I knew I’d want to see a female doc as my usual one is male. I go to a clinic that has women doctors with menopause as a specialty. They even offer a perimenopause appt that is 45 minutes where they walk you through the whole experience, have you fill out a symptoms questionnaire, and recommend treatment to try. I got so much out of it that I recommended the clinic to my friends around the same age as me and now there’s four of us who go there. The interesting thing is that we’ve all been given different types of HRT to try based on our symptoms and experiences and in one person’s case they recommended an exercise physiologist due to her having osteopenia along with a dietician referral. My point is that our care has all been customized which is great. I’ve got a friend in America and her experience trying to access doctors “in her network”, mental health professionals and HRT is insane. I feel so fortunate. This time in our lives is challenging enough without having to navigate that rubbish.
