I had a consultation with Dr Fran and she was LOVELY. I have never felt so listened to at a consultation, especially regarding woman’s health. 20 mins with Dr Fran and I had some recommendations that I can try, based on her actually listening to my issues and from someone who knows what they’re talking about. Honestly, bloody brilliant, thank you!

So empowering...book your appointment! I'm so glad i booked an appointment with the Dr Mel, she was fantastic and put me straight at ease. We get such a short time with our local NHS GPs, that this level of care and investigation is just not possible. Thanks so much Dr Mel!

Alison

Had a appointment with Dr Mawson in May. Tried the pill they recommended and it's been a total game changer for me. Could not recommend highly enough to anyone unsure of what pill to take or who has been unsuccessful trying the pill in the past and wants to know if there is one out there to suit them.

This appointment was the first time someone has taken the time to explain contraception in such depth and explored various options with me. Dr Zaakira Mahomed was amazing and really took the time to give me enough information to make an informed decision.

Tilly

via Trustpilot

The doctor I spoke to (for a full 20 minutes) cleared up all of my queries, gave me loads of helpful info and has set me up with an empowering plan of action. I've never felt more heard and been so informed - best appointment ever! What a fantastic resource for girls and women.

Maya

After being diagnosed with PCOS I was having problems finding the right contraception solutions for me. Finding the lowdown has been honestly a miracle for me. Not only is the site super easy to understand - the consultation I had with Dr. Becky has genuinely cleared up so much. I feel much more knowledgeable about PCOS now and feel more confident in choosing the right contraception for me and my situation.

Isabella

via Trustpilot

Dr Fran was so amazing. She listened to me and was kind and supportive. Then she gave me many options for what I would need going forward with my issues. I could not recommend her and The Lowdown enough. I finally feel seen and heard.

SA

via Trustpilot

My consultation with Dr Mahomed was super helpful, would 100% recommend to anyone! I felt a bit nervous at first, but she was lovely to talk to and put me at ease straight away. All my questions were answered and I've definitely come away with the knowledge and confidence to choose a birth control option that I think will work for me!

Chloe

via Trustpilot

I would 100% recommend Dr Becky, she was super lovely and incredibly informative on all the questions I had for her regarding endometriosis, the copper coil and local anaesthesia.
