DR REBECCA CECE
“20% of women experience menopausal symptoms that significantly impact their lives. Unfortunately there are many misconceptions about HRT and non hormonal treatments for menopause. There are also a number of barriers for women in accessing up to date evidence-based treatments for menopause, including their geographical location. It is highly rewarding to help women navigate the unique health needs that they have around menopause, and a Telehealth platform is a fantastic way to reach them no matter where they are located. I am passionate about providing an empathetic, safe space in which you can discuss all things menopause and I’m committed to help find the treatment best suited to you!”
