Dr Salam is an excellent dermatologist, one of the best I've seen. His calm demeanour and friendly approach make you feel completely at ease. I have severe eczema and related atopic conditions. Over the past few months my skin and overall health has improved with Dr Salam’s help.

Literally one of the best medical consultations I have had in a while! The initial purpose of the appointment was mole checking which he thoroughly did even proceeding to minor treatment within the first consultation as well as a step by step future plan. Apart from the initial reason of the appointment though, he went through my daily skincare routine providing advice and guidance above and beyond the protection of moles/ skin health. All with a smile!
