“Dr Sophie Ladbrooke is absolutely everything you would hope your GP to be – Compassionate, knowledgeable and able to make you feel completely at ease, regardless of the situation. I have seen her on multiple occasions for issues including skin abnormalities and muscular pain. Each time, she has been thorough in examining the problem, listened carefully to my concerns and ensured that I understood fully the next steps following my appointment. She strikes a perfect balance between tailored, friendly interactions and absolute professionalism. I feel incredibly lucky to have been under her care, and have no doubt I am one of many who are grateful for the privilege too!”
