- A very clear and structured session with excellent clinical reasoning demonstrated throughout. Complex respiratory pathology was explained in a way that was both practical and evidence‑based.
- Dr Salman diagnosed my ailment on my first visit. He had read my NHS notes and tests beforehand which saved time. The medication he prescribed worked well. He sent a report to my GP and copied me in. His general manner was considerate, helpful and understanding. I can highly recommend him.
- I recently saw Dr Salman with breathing difficulties. He took the time to understand my symptoms and lifestyle and explained what it was likely to be, providing me with some takeaway information about things i could do to improve my symptoms. He arranged for tests to rule out any serious conditions and had a conversation about how my underactive thyroid could be contributing to my symptoms. I felt listened to and was shown care and understanding by Dr Salman. Thank you.
- Was so good to be finally listened to and taken seriously and given some really good advice. I’m very grateful.
