Reviews
- Would you recommend this doctor?
- Treatment of the doctor
- Treatment of the staff
- Waiting time
- Condition of facilities
- Perfect patient centred care, from consultations to treatment. Mr Salem was very knowledgeable and experienced.
- Very knowledgeable and friendly doctor who has clarified my problems and options for further treatment
- I would have asked for more clarification ation, but sensed a reticence on the part of the doctor.
- Made me feel very comfortable about what he was going to do, I was very impressed with everything.
- Mr Salem listened and gave me all the time I needed. He explained everything in detail and recommended an epidural injection which was performed 10 days later with very positive results. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others or seeing him again if necessary.
