Holistic management of the menopause transition in Bonn and throughout Germany

Make an Appointment

Hot flushes, weight gain, exhaustion, brain fog, joint pain. These are just some of the many symptoms you might experience during the menopause transition.

Along with the physical symptoms, the changing hormone levels also expose us to greater health risks related to osteoporosis and heart disease, amongst other diseases.

Many women believe that they must simply suffer their symptoms or they attribute them to stress and the normal aging process.

Using bio/body identical hormones backed by the latest research I will help relieve your current symptoms and optimise your future health.

I am a mum and doctor from Belfast, Northern Ireland where I trained and worked in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. After completing my medical studies in Queen`s University, Belfast in 2003, I went on to pass the examination for entry to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG),London in 2010. Specialising in the medical and surgical management of benign gynaecological conditions, I completed the Advanced Special Study Module in the Management of Menopause by the RCOG in 2015. After moving to Germany with my young family and obtaining my German Approbation I founded MenoCare in order to use my skills to help women seize the opportunity that this life stage gives them to take control of their health and enable them to life better, longer.

Who am I?

Guided by the most up to date research I believe in a patient centred, holistic care. I will take the time to get a complete picture of your health concerns and exactly how your symptoms are impacting your life. I will ascertain your risk of diseases such as osteoporosis and recommend evidence based, modern and safe therapies such as body or bio-identical hormones, supported by vitamins and micronutrients when necessary, to relieve your symptoms and improve your future health.

I was looking for a doctor to address perimenopause symptoms and wanted someone who had specialized training, as not all doctors do. I found Dr White and she has been great. She went over all the risks and benefits of hormone replacement in the initial assessment. She listened and addressed my personal needs and gave guidance to help my symptoms. I highly recommend her!

I first visited Dr White about six months ago, after struggling with symptoms of perimenopause. My Frauenarzt here in Germany is very proficient and kind, and has helped me through three healthy pregnancies, for which I am very grateful. However, she was not able to spend the time with me to really investigate menopause symptoms and possible solutions. I really did not feel listened to. Dr White has helped me to find solutions which are improving the quality of my physical and mental health. I would recommend all women to at least investigate how they can be as healthy, mentally and physically as possible. I would highly recommend a consultation.

Ich bin bei der Recherche nach einer Hormontherapeutin im Köln-Bonner-Raum auf die Website von Frau Dr White gestoßen. Über Doctolib konnte ich komplikationslos einen Termin vereinbaren. Bei unserem ersten persönlichen Zusammentreffen war ich einfach nur begeistert. Frau Dr White ist ein sehr zugewandter, warmherziger und einfühlsamer Mensch und eine herausragende und äußerst kompetente Ärztin. Sie nimmt sich unheimlich viel Zeit, zunächst den Befund zu erheben, und erklärt sehr gut den Einsatz von bioidentischen Hormonen. Zudem schaut sie aber auch, dass man mit Mikronährstoffen gut versorgt ist, und gibt dort auch gute Hinweise und Tipps, welche Blutwerte für eine funktionierende Therapie erforderlich sind. Auch nach dem Termin steht sie einem komplikationslos via Mail oder telefonisch immer zur Verfügung. Ich bin so froh, Sie gefunden zu haben und freue mich, dass Sie mich ab jetzt durch die Wechseljahre begleiten wird. Vielen herzlichen Dank dafür.

Frequently asked questions.

  • In order to make an appointment with me at MenoCare you must first set up an account with Doctolib. This is a safe and easy to use system and setting up an account is straightforward. Click here for more information regarding in person care in Bonn, and here for online consultations. If you are Geseztlich Versichert ie you have public insurance, as care through MenoCare is not covered by public healthcare you will have to cover the cost of your care yourself.

  • Whether online or in person during your first appointment with me at Menocare we will take an indepth look at your medical history, your current symptoms and your treatment goals. If you have any blood work or other relevant investigation already completed, you can upload them to Doctolib, or bring the results with you. This appointment will take around 45 minutes.

  • I recommend a follow up appointment 6-8 weeks after your first visit. This gives us the opportunity to assess your response to any treatment that has been started and tweak it accordingly. This appointment will last around 20 minutes. Further appointments at 6-8 weekly intervals might be necessary until a treatment plan is established. Thereafter I recommend an annual review to assess for any life or health changes that may influence your treatment. For more information on the treatment pathway in person click here and for online management click here.

  • Should you need to be reviewed outside the normal schedule please get in touch via colettewhitemenocare@gmail.com and I will arrange review as appropriate or make an appointment via Doctolib.

  • MenoCare is a Private Medical Practice. Costs are calculated with an ´Honorarvereinbarung`using the Grundlage der amtlichen Gebührenordnung für Ärzte (GOÄ). This is a regulated tariff and applies to those privately insured and those paying themselves. If you are privately insured, I recommend you check with your insurer if they will cover the costs of the treatment. I can not guarantee this. Unfortunately costs are not covered by the Gesetzlich Krankenkasse.

    A 45 minute consultation will cost around €180 and a 20 minute consultation will cost €60.

    If you require more information regarding costs please get in touch at colettewhitemenocare@gmail.com


    Please also note that appointments that are not attended are not covered by health insurance. I kindly request that you inform me of a cancellation at least 24 hours in advance of the planned appointment. You can also cancel or rearrange your appointment via Doctolib.
    Otherwise, I am entitled to charge you a cancellation fee of 100 € privately. (Case law according to §615 BGB). Although this is due immediately, it must be paid at the latest before the next appointment. Of course, I will consider individual cases, such as emergencies, to waive the cancellation fee solely at my discretion.

  • Often women require 2-3 appointments until a treatment plan is established which controls their symptoms. After this an annual review is recommended to assess symptom control and your risk profile so that treatment can continue to be presribed. There is no set time for which a woman can take hormone treatment. This is decided based on her symptoms, risk profile and her wishes.
