'Dr. Sally is an excellent doctor who is both professional and caring. She takes the time she needs to listen to concerns as
well as to inquire about issues to discern the root cause for things. She never makes me feel rushed and gives ample
thought and consideration to my health problems. As a woman, talking through the issues helps me to mentally process
the problems I am facing and talking is in itself a remedy of sorts. Dr. Sally is excellent at listening and I am very thankful
to have found her!' PM
'I have complete confidence in Dr. Moorcroft. Her advice and treatment have helped me considerably in managing complex and permanent health issues. She is a person of the highest integrity, both caring and highly competent. I cannot commend her too highly' FG
