We have been consulting with Dr Gholam for over two years now, from when my daughter was 4 months old for her Eczema condition. Right from the first appointment her course of treatment has been highly effective. I find her manner very reassuring and her explanations are thorough. My daughter’s eczema is very well managed thanks to Dr Gholam. I would highly recommend her and she is my go-to doctor for skin conditions for my daughter.

Explanation

Dr Gholam is one of a kind. Her exceptional background - she is both as a paediatrician and as a dermatologist -, her extensive professional experience, and her continuous training that helps families reach the most informed decisions, make her extremely qualified; while her natural charisma make my children eager to see her, even for uncomfortable verruca removals! She is kind and fun to the little ones, while remaining focused, never leaving a doubt unchecked. She also has fun ways to tell a young teenager how to look after their skin to keep it healthy. With older teenagers, she’ll be direct and truthful, daring to address sensitive questions or the odd elephant in the room in such a natural and warm way that they’ll listen and follow her advices. Dr Gholam genuinely cares for her patients and it makes all the difference.
