The London Endocrine Clinic is a private independent clinic that offers a broad range of endocrine, fertility and anti-ageing services. While our emphasis is on women’s health, we have an international reputation in thyroid disease including thyroid cancer, the spectrum of insulin resistance including the metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and diabetes as well as genetics of endocrine disorders. We have a very successful diagnosis and treatment programme for PCOS.
We provide care for women from early adolescence to very old age, advising on
- physical and sexual development,
- irregular periods, excess body hair, obesity and fertility,
- the menopause,
- non-surgical rejuvenation and anti-ageing treatment, including botox, fillers and anti-aging facials,
- pre-pregnancy assessment to enhance fertility,
- fertility of women with recurrent early foetal loss and
- care of women with endocrine problems during pregnancy and postpartum.
At consultation, we will conduct a detailed discussion of your health problems, the investigations proposed and options for potential therapies. Once the investigations are completed, you will be briefed of their implications, the treatment plan and likely outcomes. Your referring doctor will receive a timely report, as will you if you wish.
We are supported by a team of dieticians, life-style and life-coaches, health and fitness trainers, stress management experts as well as image–makers.
At our medical spa, WimpoleDermatics, we are able to offer a range of aesthetic treatments to help people counter some of the symptoms of their conditions including acne and excess facial hair. We can also carry out a range of rejuvenation and anti-ageing treatments using the most sophisticated and high tech beauty procedures. Skin-health and natural looking results are paramount to help patients, many of whom have chronic low self esteem as a result of the metabolic conditions from which they suffer. After undergoing a range of topical and non surgical treatments, patients can now look as good as they feel.
We now offer Tanita Body composition analysis, as a one-off and then regularly as our patients adopt diet or exercise programmes.
