Dr. Sallam was great. The wait time is usually long for appointments. I wasn't given an explanation why, but there were quite a few patients waiting.

I told the doctor my symptoms and he said "forget about it" - basically told me to stop worrying about and it and ignore it and I'll get used to it.
