I absolutely recommend Dr. Salim. He was the neurologist that was able to diagnose my daughter with rare seizures something the other neurologist failed to do.

I visited Dr. Salim office about one week ago. The front office staff was very polite and courteous but Dr. Salim was the worst doctor I have ever encountered. He did not give my daughter an accurate diagnosis, his diagnosis was I don't know what is wrong with her,maybe she is making it up...somebody please tell me what child makes herself have seizure-like activity.....
