From the moment I walked into Dr Harpers' consulting room I was made to feel at ease. She has a lovely manner allowing me the space and support to explain how I was feeling. We discussed at length my symptoms and she clearly explained the options available to me. Nothing was forced and I asked questions throughout. We came to a joint decision on the best way forward. I am now on HRT and I have to be honest after years of losing who I was, I feel like my old self again, friends say I seem so much brighter and I have a spring in my step. Prior to going onto HRT I would lose or forget words, I lost my confidence, I felt very down and everything (even the good bits) felt like a chore. I can honestly say I feel so much better. Thank you so much Dr Harper.

I had been steadily gaining weight for years despite trying really hard to diet and exercise and it was making me very miserable. Dr Harper introduced me to Saxenda injections and I have quite quickly lost inches from around middle. As a result I am feeling much more confident and energised!

After picking up a copy of the book The Perimenopause Solution I knew I needed an appointment with Dr Shahzadi Harper and it has been the best decision I have made. My initial consultation was in person and my follow ups have been by virtual video consultation. The relief at being heard and offered help and for it to be working is actually life changing. Dr Harper is so lovely and her team are also very helpful. Truly a very positive experience that I cannot recommend highly enough.

Dr Shahzadi Harper and her team have been wonderful throughout my treatment. I had been trying to get a diagnosis for a few years as to why I felt so dreadful. The GP kept dismissing me. I then spoke to a friend who had recently seen Dr Harper and she suggested my symptoms could be due to the perimenopause. I looked up the symptoms and the lightbulb turned on! Due to the pandemic I saw Dr Harper online which was just as good as being in the office with her. She undertook a detailed history and listened to my long list of symptoms. She prescribed HRT and this was delivered within 2 days of the appointment which was wonderful. We had a follow up appointment at which she told me that she would up my dose as although my symptoms had greatly improved, she knew I could feel even better. She was right. My migraines have reduced to only one a month from what felt like constantly having one, my mood has improved, my energy levels have increased and I am excited by life again. Thank you so much for just listening and acting on what you heard.

I saw Dr Harper at a very low point in my perimenopause journey when I was experiencing very bad emotional symptoms such as low mood, anxiety and irritability. She immediately put me at ease, explained it all so clearly to me and was very sympathetic and easy to talk to. I have now been on a combination of oestrogen gel and a progesterone tablet for 4 months and felt the difference after a week. And 4 months on I feel so much better like a different person. I would recommend Dr Harper to anyone struggling like I was

For the past few years I was lost. I had no enjoyment or interest in whatever I did.
I started to watch Dr Harper on Instagram and decided to make a virtual appointment with her.
Dr Harper came up with a plan and it has changed my life. For the first time in what feels like forever I feel happy again.
Thank you so much Dr Harper.

I went to see Dr Shahzadi Harper of The Harper Clinic in early December literally at my wit's end and not knowing where to turn; I literally didn't know the person I had become.
Having visited my GP for menopause advice and not entirely happy with the appointment and subsequent prescription, I contacted The Harper Clinic for an appointment which came through quickly.
Following an excellent conversation where I felt completely listened to with an expert who truly understood, I was sent off immediately for blood tests. Within a few days ( and over the weekend), Dr Harper sent me my results and her proposed prescription, all very efficient and easy ( and done through an online pharmacist). I started to take my medication within 10 days of my appointment.
Eight weeks having started my medication, I feel completely different and it is such a relief. I hated who I'd become, miserable and short tempered. I feel so much more chilled out, happy and ready to look forward. Today I had my follow up appointment virtually and it was such an easy process and a fantastic catch up with Dr Harper, both of us happy with the progress I have made since our initial in person meeting. Dr Harper again listened to my feedback and has tweaked my prescription very slightly based on my feedback.......I am looking forward to seeing how I get on with the next step of my HRT journey.
I thoroughly recommend booking with Dr Harper ( and following her on Instagram!!), this is too complex a subject for most GP's and everyone is so different. So pleased I found her.

I contacted Dr Shahzadi Harper as I had suffered from bladder leaks for years (since having children). I had 3 sessions of FemiLift which have made a huge difference. I can now exercise and cough without any leakage! I then contacted Dr Harper again as I started to suffer from hot flushes (every 45 mins) due to the menopause. Within two weeks of having a consultation with Dr Harper & starting treatment, the hot flushes had subsided and I was feeling more like me again. I would highly recommend Dr Shahzadi Harper as she has made such a positive difference to my life!

I started seeing Dr Shahzadi Harper at the Harper Clinic in April 2020 after trying for 2 years to get any proper help from my GP. At age 43 I felt like a light had just been switched off and my sex drive completely disappeared.
Nothing in my life had changed so I assumed that it was a physical thing. GP tested my hormones and came back I had low testosterone but they just offered me counselling for it...
I left it alone for a year thinking it might just improve, then went back to GP in desperation. By age 44 I had very obvious symptoms of perimenopause and GP didn't offer me any help in that area dismissing me as my periods were still on time, ignoring all the other symptoms.
My friend told me about Dr Harper as she was seeing her, so I finally booked!
My first consultation was such a relief, to be listened to and to have it confirmed that I was suffering from perimenopausal symptoms, and to know that I wasn't asking for anything "strange" because I wanted my sex life back. Dr Harper totally gets it and she is easy to talk to.
Dr Harper set out my options and so I started on a low dose HRT to see how I would get on, felt great, we then added in low dose testosterone and now within 8 months my sex drive has come back about 70%!! I feel a lot like myself again. All of my other symptoms have cleared and people keep telling me I look vibrant, prob as I feel it! I feel so positive and the more I research up on women's hormones I realise just how important it is to invest in this part of my life.
Overall I like Dr Harpers attitude that women's health and sexual health is so important; there is no embarrassment or judgment, just a championing of women living their best life in middle age and not suffering in silence.
Best thing I have done for myself in the last few years. Thanks Dr Harper!
