Hi 👋 to my new followers, my name is Dr. Sophie Pollon-MacLeod ND and…
Here are 5 things you should know about me if you are considering becoming a patient 👇
1. I focus heavily on women’s health in practice. Everything from perimenopause to menstrual cycle support, PCOS and endometriosis.
👉 My treatment recommendations are not overly “naturopathic” if there is a choice between hormone therapy vs supplements in a woman who is a great candidate for HT, I will 10/10 recommend the hormone therapy.
👉 If your heavy painful periods are out of control and significantly impacting your quality of life, I will bring up options such as an IUD.
2. My patients need to be independent -it may be 4-6 weeks before our follow up appointment. This means you need to read the plan carefully, reach out if you have any questions and do your best to stay consistent.
👉 this doesnt mean I don’t provide a lot of support and guidance along the way, this just means if you need someone to check in with you every week, we might not be a great fit.
3. I use data to make decisions: bloodwork, cycle tracking etc. I don’t like to guess. Expect to have an additional cost for bloodwork on our first visits. I dont defer to your other practitioners just to cover the costs. This is your health, It is worth it .
👉 I am not running any tests that aren’t indicated based on someone’s primary complaints. We dont just do it for fun .
4. I am passionate and truly love what I do. I want my patients to succeed just as much as they do.
5. I am not afraid of being open and honest. My job isn’t to agree with everything my patients say when they walk through the door. Sometimes it means challenging difficult conversations to help support change in someone’s life.
Anything surprising you from my answers??
