- I can’t recommend Mr Swaminathan enough. He is kind, patient and listens carefully to symptoms and concerns. He recommended a course of action for severe peri-menopause symptoms and suggested options to suit my preferences. He went above and beyond to help me to understand the plan and next steps. I’m finally sleeping better and can face life again! Thank you
