- Dr Salam is not only most pleasant and efficient, he adequately resolved my skin complaint that numerous doctors and consulants over many years could not help.
- Dr. Salam is without doubt the most thorough and compassionate dermatologist I have seen. He didn’t just treat my acne and female pattern hair loss superficially; he took the time to understand everything holistically, including my hormones, iron levels, and even genetics. A gem.
- Since I've been seeing Dr Salam 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.
- Dr Salam explains things well, discusses possible treatments, is very empathetic and eased any concerns I had. I would highly recommend to anyone who asked.

- I would highly recommend Dr Salam. He listens carefully, is very pleasant and has been able to help me quickly and efficiently with my dermatology concerns. He also e-mails through what we have talked about (in great details) and the treatment so you can read through at home.
- Wise, kind, caring, effective and efficient. Smiles a lot. Just book him.
- Dr Salam is very attentive, provides excellent continuity of care and if he has spare time at the end of an appointment, he is happy to offer to apply this time to any other concerns you may have. Very happy and will be back the next time I have any concerns!
- 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 Salam enough for the incredible care and expertise treating my female pattern hair loss which came on after my menopause. He identified that my low iron levels were contributing and started supplements alongside hair loss tablets and tonic. Thank you!
