I went to see Dr. Runde because I was having menopausal symptoms of sleeplessness, hot flashes, moodiness, and lack of energy. My gynecologist was only interested in treating my symptoms with hormones. I was very frustrated because I had always been very conscious about exercising, eating well, and taking care of my body. After a very thorough intake history and physical, Dr. Runde prescribed a treatment plan that included changes in my diet, exercise, and supplement regimen. She spent time working with me on a plan that would be successful in my life. Dr. Runde explained the treatment plan so that I understood why these changes would help my symptoms. I began to see improvement in my symptoms within a week. In a few weeks, I was sleeping through the night, my hot flashes diminished and eventually disappeared, my energy returned, and I was not irritable. Over the course of those weeks, Dr. Runde communicated with me by email to check on my progress and my symptoms. At each follow-up visit, Dr. Runde took the time to review my symptoms and my treatment plan. I have been impressed with her professionalism, knowledge, caring demeanor, and ease of communication. I feel that the treatment and recommendations that resulted from my visits to Dr. Runde have improved my quality of life dramatically. read more
