I had a really positive experience with Dr Salam. He was extremely passionate and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. He listened properly, didn't rush me, and explained everything clearly. I felt supported and reassured throughout the appointment - I highly recommend. Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant. I had a serious Psoriasis flare up and getting an NHS appointment had a waiting time of 6mths, thankfully I managed to get to see Dr Salam within 2 weeks of looking for a consultant. He was very sympathetic to my situation, went through the possible treatments, listened to my concerns and discussed how we should move forward, but I never felt pressurised into anything I was uncomfortable with. His 'Bedside manner' is excellent, in follow-up consultations he fully explained where he felt my condition should be (considering the treatment I was undergoing) and this helped allay any concerns, or frustrations, I was having. All-in-all he made the process very easy, was empathetic and made me feel comfortable with the progress. Most importantly, the treatment he suggested has had a massive impact on my condition and made my life so much better, I cannot recommend Dr Salam highly enough. If you are suffering make him your No1 port of call!
Dr. Amr Salam has been kind, attentive, and genuinely supportive throughout my care. His calm, compassionate approach and clear communication made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. I’m very grateful for his professionalism and empathy, and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dermatologist they can truly trust.
I was referred to Dr Salam by Dr Fenton, and since I've been seeing him he has always provided me with the highest quality of care. He's extremely knowledgeable on all the treatment plans available to me, and quick to respond and solve any issues that come up.
I would highly recommend Dr Salam! He listens carefully to you and is very pleasant. He has helped me quickly and efficiently with my concerns. I also find it very helpful that Dr Salam e-mails through, in great detail, what we have discussed and also the treatment plan. That makes it so much easier as a patient to be able to read through at home and make sure you have not missed out on anything.
Wise, kind, caring, effective and efficient. Smiles a lot. Just book him.
Dr Salam is an excellent dermatologist, highly skilled, compassionate and friendly. I've seen him for a few issues with very positive outcomes. He explains things well and is very patient with my many questions! I highly recommend him for any dermatology problems.
I cannot thank Dr. Amr Salam enough for the incredible care and expertise he provided treating my female pattern hair loss which came on after my menopause. He took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and thoroughly assess all possible contributing factors. Dr. Salam explained all the treatment options available clearly and in detail. He identified that my low iron levels were contributing to my hair loss and recommended iron supplements alongside a combination of oral tablets and hair tonic, tailored based on my blood results. Since starting his treatment plan, not only has my hair started growing back, but I also feel so much more energetic and confident. He was incredibly reassuring during what was a very distressing time for me. Thank you!
I recently visited Dr. Amr Salam for treatment of my male pattern hair loss, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment I walked into his clinic, his empathetic and professional approach immediately put me at ease. Dr. Salam took the time to truly listen to my concerns and carefully assess my condition. He explained all the available treatment options in a clear and understandable way, ensuring I felt fully informed before making any decisions. His expertise in hair loss was evident throughout our discussions, and he tailored a treatment plan specifically for me. The specialised hair tonic he prescribed has delivered fantastic results, and I’ve noticed significant improvement in my hair density only 4 months in. I’m incredibly grateful for his help in restoring not just my hair but also my confidence!
