Testimonials
“I feel lucky to have found Natalie’s practice, I have waited for a long time before searching for help and Natalie had all the answers that I needed. Starting with easy booking, providing a relevant questionnaire before meeting Natalie, and then having a great conversation in a relaxed environment, with a great listener and very knowledgeable specialist, resulted in obtaining the solutions I was after for a few years. Dr Natalie is the specialist that I was looking for but also a lovely human. Thank you again for your help, it’s incredible how fast are the results of your care.”
“I have been a customer of Summerhill health for four years. I have always received excellent care and Natalie is also incredibly kind and compassionate. She listens carefully and offers thoughtful medical advice without being pushy in any way. Any correspondence with the practice is quick and efficient and can be accessed via remote means. My hormone levels have improved massively since being under the care of Summerhill health and this has lead to a far superior quality of life. My sleep has gone from 4 hours a night to 8-10 hours and my confidence has come back. I did have a full hysterectomy in 2018 with little support from my GP (our local CCG would not even pay for the appropriate blood tests). By using Summerhill health, I have control over my health on my terms without having to go through the challenging NHS system. Thanks to Natalie – keep up the great work!”
“Dr Summerhill is amazing! She’s the 1st person to truly understand what I’m going through with the menopause. She listens, gives you plenty of time and empathises completely. I would definitely recommend her to any woman seeking a professional and sympathetic doctor.”
“Dr Natalie Summerhill provides excellent, thorough, well-informed advice and treatment that my regular GP simply couldn’t / wouldn’t offer. I have no hesitation in recommending her.”
