How it works …
Medical hormone counselling online !
I look forward to seeing you, regardless of whether you are already a patient I know or are newly interested.
You can register for a video consultation via the Medicosearch booking tool, which you can find under Book an appointment.
At the beginning of the registration process, please indicate whether you have already been a patient of mine.
This is how it works:
If you would like to come to me for the first time…
… go to the appointment booking, book an available XL appointment, which is validated (only with) the confirmation email. Attached to the confirmation email you will find documents to send back and information about the video session.
With the consultation you may receive a prescription for hormone treatment and usually a follow-up appointment is made after 6-8 weeks, during which the dosage can be adjusted or further prescriptions discussed.
If you are already being treated by me…
… book a 45-minute appointment if you have a major problem or if you want to change or extend your therapy. Otherwise, 30 minutes is usually enough for a follow-up.
At the appointment we discuss the therapy, the medication, any blood samples or their results. At this appointment, a prescription is issued that will last until the next appointment.
An appointment is required for new prescriptions. Standing prescriptions can also be issued at a 15-minute appointment if you have had a gynecological check-up and breast diagnostics in the past year and no changes need to be discussed. Please understand that prescriptions can no longer be ordered by email from 2025.
A telephone hotline will be set up for problems in between, which you will be informed about when you send a request by email.
Choose the right appointment:
XL, if you would like to come to me for the first time (45 min, CHF 400 flat rate by credit card).
L, if you are a known patient and need a comprehensive consultation (45 min, CHF 300 flat rate credit card). Until the end of 2024, there are also other appointments available at previous conditions.
M, if you are a known patient and need a consultation for therapy (30 min, CHF 200 flat rate credit card). Until the end of 2024, there are also other appointments available at previous conditions.
S, if you are a known patient and need a repeat prescription for the same dosage and the results of last year’s breast and gynecological diagnostics are available. (15 min, CHF 100 lump sum credit card).
Reimbursement vouchers cannot be issued for credit card payments.
With the confirmation of the terms and conditions, a (new) treatment contract with me is concluded.
We will be able to communicate via the Medicosearch video channel and you will use your smartphone or tablet. Medicosearch offers the high-security standard of Swiss data protection. Read my privacy policy here.
Your to-do list:
Please send me your newest reports, lab sheets, mammogram results, surgery reports, etc. It is important – with or without hormone treatment – to have regular annual checkups, as well as a breast checkup. Please download the Annual Check-up Report and confirm this with the doctor where you have been in the last year.
Step 2: Consultation
In our video consultation, we clarify the current state of your hormone situation, which complaints are the main focus, and what the current goal of the consultation or treatment is. We will also clarify whether a lab test is necessary.
I continue to work with the Medica laboratory. You can have blood samples taken at your doctor’s office or you can go directly to Medica for a blood draw.
I can arrange for these steps if breast exams or other gynecological exams are appropriate.
Step 3: Long-term care
In the context of hormone treatment or hormone replacement therapy, there is always a follow-up appointment in 6 to 12 months to find out what changes have already occurred and where the dosages or intake regimen can still be adjusted or whether it makes sense to continue the hormone treatment as it is or to take other interventions.
Your to-do list:
Stay with your current gynecologist, have a checkup once a year, including vaginal ultrasound, and go for regular breast diagnostics.
