I cannot thank Dr. Amr Salam enough for the incredible care and expertise he provided treating my female pattern hair loss which came on after my menopause. He took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and thoroughly assess all possible contributing factors. Dr. Salam explained all the treatment options available clearly and in detail. He identified that my low iron levels were contributing to my hair loss and recommended iron supplements alongside a combination of oral tablets and hair tonic, tailored based on my blood results. Since starting his treatment plan, not only has my hair started growing back, but I also feel so much more energetic and confident. He was incredibly reassuring during what was a very distressing time for me. Thank you!

I recently visited Dr. Amr Salam for treatment of my male pattern hair loss, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment I walked into his clinic, his empathetic and professional approach immediately put me at ease. Dr. Salam took the time to truly listen to my concerns and carefully assess my condition. He explained all the available treatment options in a clear and understandable way, ensuring I felt fully informed before making any decisions. His expertise in hair loss was evident throughout our discussions, and he tailored a treatment plan specifically for me. The specialised hair tonic he prescribed has delivered fantastic results, and I’ve noticed significant improvement in my hair density only 4 months in. I’m incredibly grateful for his help in restoring not just my hair but also my confidence!

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!

Dr. Salam identified my BCC quickly and took the time to explain each step to me in detail throughout the whole process (from first consultation to successful surgery and review). His professional yet warm demeanour instantly allowed me to feel at ease in the face of my initial nervousness.

I was referred to Dr Salam after suffering from alopecia areata. I was very pleased with the treatment received. He clearly explained the background to the condition and the treatment options before proceeding, and then the next steps post-treatment. I would happily recommend Dr Salam.

Fantastic doctor, he was so knowledgeable but managed to explain things in a way that was easy to digest which I found many doctors in the past struggle with. I felt at ease throughout the consultation and left feeling very optimistic about dealing with my condition. Thank you so much for a fantastic service!
