I saw Elspeth for the first time five years ago. I was in a terrible place with my constant migraines and on many many medications from a previous specialist. Elspeth appropriately over time reduced all my medications (I am currently only on one medication!) in order for me to eventually fall pregnant. Five years down the track I am pregnant! And doing so well! I have Elspeth Hutton to thank for this. Elspeth has changed my life for the better! And I am so thankful she is my specialist. Elspeth is so knowledgeable, kind and caring.
