Our Consultations:
At Munster Menopause Clinic, we are committed to delivering evidence-based medical care tailored to your unique needs. Our clinic is conveniently located in Tallow, Co. Waterford, ensuring you have easy access to our specialized services.
During your initial appointment, which lasts up to 30 minutes, you will meet with Dr. Barry. We'll thoroughly discuss your medical history, reproductive history, and the broad range of menopause symptoms you may be experiencing. Together, we will explore your treatment options, which include:
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Non-hormonal medical treatments, suitable for those who cannot take HRT or prefer non-hormonal options.
Regrettably, we do not offer over-the-counter solutions, as our practice is firmly rooted in evidence-based medicine.
Please note that we do not conduct menopause consultations via telehealth. You can visit our clinic in person for a comprehensive assessment and personalised treatment plan.
Our initial consultation fee is €150 for 30 minutes and €200 for an extended 45-minute consultation. We do not typically require blood tests for women aged 45 to 60, as menopause diagnosis primarily relies on your symptoms. However, if you fall below the age of 45 or exceed 60, additional investigations or blood tests may be necessary, if deemed appropriate during your consultation.
Follow-up menopause consultations are €80.
On the day of your visit, you will be asked to submit a Patient Registration Form, which includes essential information about your medical history, medications, and relevant screening dates. Additionally, complete the Symptom Scorecard to help us better understand your unique situation.
Depending on your health insurance plan, you may be able to reclaim some of the consultation cost. Notably, Laya and Irish Life Health insurance plans now include specific menopause coverage.
At Munster Menopause Clinic, we prioritise evidence-based, patient-centered care to empower you on your menopause journey.
