Dr. Saleem was understanding and provided sound advice during the consultation. The questions he asked were concise and relevant to an ADHD assessment, which ensured a swift and productive session.

Dr Younus Saleem provides a video-link clinic and is a very highly qualified ADD specialist. After waiting an interminable time for an NHS Adult AD(H) D assessment I opted to go privately. Dr Saleem's costs are much lower in his video link clinic than other providers: £300 for the assessment, £110 for weekly email triation (not per week but for all of it), and then about £150 for the follow up appointment before handover to GP.
I had to complete a form requiring detailed information about my symptoms and history. A family member had to complete a form about me too. Dr Saleem then carried out a very thorough assessment lasting an hour before confirming my diagnosis. He was very professional, personable and conscientious.
Having established that I definitely suffer from ADD, he prescribed Elanse (Lisdexamfetamine) on a steadily increasing dose and advised me it might take some time to work. However, in my case the effects were near instant and fantastically (miraculously!) good. I feel well for the first time I can remember: calm, energised, able to concentrate, focused and much more besides. Even my hearing has improved. And I have every reason to be confident that these benefits will only increase as my dose increases.
This is the only medication that has effectively addressed the terrible anxiety I was feeling (anxiety can be caused by ADD/ADHD). I feel natural and have a focused calm mind for the first time I can remember.
