Dr Salah Omer

I saw Dr Salah Omer at Parkside Wimbledon and found him to be extremely friendly, empathetic and a good listener. After the initial consultation which included some neurological tests, he referred me for MRI scans, and these seem to show that his initial diagnosis was correct. His follow-up with my results was whilst he was away travelling, and I appreciated that he made sure that I did not have further waiting and can proceed to the next stage of action.

I consider Dr Omer to be a fine physician. This is on the basis of only one consultation with him - the last before he left on three weeks leave! Nevertheless I believe my assessment is correct based on the following: I presented with what has turned out to be unusual neurological symptoms. Dr Omer was scrupulous in not rushing to a diagnosis. Instead he organized a number of tests and arranged for another neurologist to see me in his absence. That same evening he wrote a letter to my GP (I was copied) which helped to clarify the problem and where a solution might be found. During the following days he monitored the results of the investigations as they came in. At two points he realized important things had come to light. He phoned me straight away (while he was still on holiday) urging me to take urgent action with the GP and with the hospital. Later tests pointed strongly to a likely cause and treatment plan. He made himself available on the telephone (again while on leave) during my first consultation with the new neurologist to update and guide him. With the new data to hand, he cogently expressed his view on the diagnosis and how my treatment should progress. This intervention was timely and invaluable. My treatment is still in its early days (so the jury is - to some extent - still out!). But there are hopeful signs of improvement. I feel I am in good hands and making progress. I have been fortunate with my doctors in the past but I find this level of care, combined with excellent medical knowledge (at least, so far as I can tell as a laymen) to be exceptional. My grateful thanks to Dr Omer.

Dr. Omer was so helpful from start to finish. First, he was able to fit me in for a same-day appointment. He was an expert in the condition I was seeking treatment for, and provided information to help me better understand the genetic underpinnings. He provided warm and empathic care, and went out of his way to connect me with a colleague who could provide the testing (same day) and follow up care needed. I would highly recommend him to others.

Dr Omer was so warm and approachable. He made me feel so comfortable and valued. Thank you.

Dr Omer’s abilities prevented me from suffering paralysis. One of the best human beings I’ve ever met! God sent! An OUTSTANDING doctor and neurologist
