Initial Consultation Required
To ensure safe, personalized, and high-quality care, all new patients must complete an initial consultation before accessing follow-up appointments or certain additional services.
This first appointment allows us to review your health history, symptoms, concerns, and goals in order to develop a care plan tailored to your individual needs.
This step is essential to ensure the quality, safety, and continuity of your care.
A coordinated clinical pathway
Pause Claire works in collaboration with specialized nurse practitioners to make it easier to access treatments that require a prescription.
When your situation meets clearly established clinical criteria, certain treatment options can be integrated directly into your care pathway, in accordance with the protocols in effect.
When a situation is more complex or requires additional assessment, a targeted consultation with a specialized nurse practitioner may be required, subject to your consent to share your clinical information. Pause Claire remains involved in your follow-up so that your care stays continuous and seamless.
This consultation is included in the fees shown above. No additional charges apply.
Every treatment decision is based on an individualized clinical assessment. A prescription is never automatic or guaranteed.
The fees displayed at the time of booking apply to the selected service. Fees may be revised periodically.
You deserve care that evolves with you.
Perimenopause and menopause are transitions that unfold over many years. Our approach is designed to offer clear answers, tailored solutions, and ongoing support when you need it.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before booking an appointment
At what age can I book a consultation?
You don't need to wait until menopause to seek care. We support women aged 35 and older who want to better understand their symptoms, explore their treatment options, and receive personalized care at every stage of the menopause transition.
What symptoms may be related to perimenopause or menopause?
Many symptoms have been associated with the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause, including sleep disturbances, fatigue, brain fog, hot flashes, anxiety, and genitourinary symptoms. Every woman's experience is unique. While some women experience only a few symptoms, others may notice less commonly recognized symptoms such as heart palpitations, itchy ears, or Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).
Is hormone therapy safe?
Hormone therapy is not a single treatment. Different hormone types, formulations, doses, and delivery methods are available. For many women, menopausal hormone therapy is a safe and effective option when prescribed based on their medical history, symptoms, and individual risk factors. A personalized assessment helps determine the approach that is best suited to your needs. Learn more about hormone therapy.
Are appointments offered in person or virtually?
Appointments are currently offered virtually, making specialized menopause care accessible wherever you are. We are also exploring the possibility of offering select in-person services in the future.
Do I need a medical referral?
No, you can book directly without a referral from your family doctor.
Are your services covered by private insurance?
Coverage varies depending on your private insurance plan. Following your appointment, we will provide the documentation required to submit a claim to your insurer. Because coverage and reimbursement policies vary between plans, we recommend confirming your eligibility with your insurer or employer before your appointment.
