Reviews
Dr Saleem is very reassuring. He listens and interprets very well, leaving the patient confident that the assessment is accurate and the treatment appropriate.
I was able to discuss without feeling judged. Dr Saleem was empathetic and provided me the support I most needed at a time that was very difficult for me.
Dr Saleem was very supportive and understanding. He listened to my concerned and asked lots of questions. He provided a lot of information and recommended a treatment programme. He also provided additional reading material after the consultation. Highly recommended.
Dr Saleem was very receptive and was able to give a quick diagnosis for inattentive type ADHD. I was very surprised at how quickly the session was.
He was very friendly and personable, sharing his own experiences and making me feel a lot better about my own.
Dr Saleem was nothing short of amazing. He was very professional but reassuring and compassionate. After providing me with a diagnosis and treatment, he provided, and still provides, great aftercare. I could not rate him highly enough!
