Report
Dr Laxton has a wonderful, warm demeanour and she really takes the time to get to know her patients. I went to her for chronic GERD issues. I was tired of taking prescription acid blockers, as they are very bad for you long term. In 6 weeks my health is so much better! I have more energy, the headaches are gone and so is the brutal brain fog I was having. She is so knowledgeable about gut health and doesn't sell you supplements you don't need. Her advice and guidance have been invaluable to my improvement! She was also very helpful in sorting out my daughter's hormone issues and my sister's struggle
