Fantastic doctor, he was so knowledgeable but managed to explain things in a way that was easy to digest which I found many doctors in the past struggle with. I felt at ease throughout the consultation and left feeling very optimistic about dealing with my condition. Thank you so much for a fantastic service!

I was suffering from a form of folliculitis which has bothered me for over a decade. Outbreaks of painful inflamed scabs would form over my scalp which also led to hair loss in affected areas. Dr Salam was able to make a quick diagnosis upon reviewing my scalp and provided a set of topical and oral medical treatments which have instantly reduced the outbreaks. After 2 months of medication I am no longer suffering from this condition. In addition to being an excellent doctor, Dr. Salam was also very diligent about following up with me to make sure I was responding to the treatment and if I needed additional help. I highly recommend Dr. Salam for anyone dealing with scalp folliculitis and any other skin condition.

He was very thorough and advised me of the diagnosis of eczema, then discussed treatment options. The entire consultation was unhurried and relaxed. He answered all my questions politely and gave me a prescription for the treatment of my eczema. He also asked me to get in touch if I had any further problems.
