    ❝Victoria Swale is undoubtedly the brainiest best dermatologist I know. I have referred her the most terrible problems (fungating SCC) to the tiniest least worrying problem (dry skin) and she has always responded with the utmost professionalism, humour, and tact. She is a tonic in herself and has more cookbooks than my husband. I recommend her very highly, she is the best of the best.❞
