1. YOUR CONSULTATION
Before starting any treatment with Dr Clare a full consultation will take place in the Cheshire based clinic. During this session we can discuss your goals and any questions you may have. There is no pressure to go ahead with any treatment after the consultation, the main objective is to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision.
2. YOUR TREATMENT
If you do decide to go ahead with your treatment we will make sure you feel supported along the way. Appointments are not rushed, and care is taken throughout to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible. It is normal to feel a little nervous before your appointment, but Dr Clare will talk you through everything and you can be confident that you are in safe hands.
3. YOUR AFTERCARE
During the programme Dr Clare offers a monthly review appointment every 4 weeks. This will allow us to ensure we are providing optimal care and any amendments can be made to your treatment plan should we decide this is appropriate. You will also be given a comprehensive aftercare form and can contact Dr Clare with any questions should you need to.
