Always informative, patient and knowledgeable time spent . There is no other Dr I would prefer to go to for my yearly appointments , no matter where I am a in the world!
I was seeking information and reassurance about some unfamiliar symptoms and Dr Hines was very clear, reassuring, patient and personable, while it was not an appointment at a time of crisis or urgent need, it felt very valuable to be able to discuss my experience and feel I was being listened to by someone with experience and knowledge.
Thank you for the lovely review
Rachel is always a great listener and also the solutions she suggests are always so thought out.

Thank you for your lovely review
All my experiences visiting Claire Mellon & Associates have been exceptional. It is easy to get an appointment, and the level of service is really good. Having all women consultants is incredibly reassuring and the expertise is the best I have ever experienced. The follow up is also excellent. I cannot recommend this practise more highly, they are the best.

Thank you for the lovely review
Dr Hines is a great listener and since she listens so well, I really trust her.
Thank you for the lovely review
I felt very listened to during this appointment. Dr Rachel was very kind and caring and had all the time to listen to my problems despite only being a half an hour appointment. She quickly instructed some changes to my treatment, and a write up letter was sent within two hours. I came away feeling hopeful and positive. And I’m extremely grateful for your care and understanding.
Thank you for your kind review
I was nervous to see anyone but Claire Mellon, however Dr Rachel Hines immediately put me so at ease. I usually need a general anaesthetic in order to have a smear, however on my first appointment, Dr Hines convinced me to try and she successfully took my smear there and then. She has been excellent with guiding me through my menopause with hormone support and again, the admin team are incredible efficient, professional and most of all, kind. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thank you for the lovely review

Small, sustainable lifestyle changes can make a big difference to how you experience menopause, helping to ease symptoms, improve your quality of life, and support long-term health.
