    Dr. Saleem is an incredible physician inasmuch as he listens, evaluates, and most of all is not caught in the conventional wisdom of "old" medicine wherein many doctors do not keep up or want to accept that some things were predicated on prejudiced premises.

    Dr. Saleem listened to my concerns about the lump in my right breast, my current appointments for US, and his description on how altitude sickness occurs and how medication improves this. He also made several recommendations to support reducing altitude sickness (hydration, acclimation, etc).
