I’ve been under Dr Salwa’s care for a couple of years and she is absolutely wonderful, I can’t recommend her highly enough. Not only is she a gifted neurologist, but she brings a warmth and kindness that is so often missing. I think Dr Salwa sets a new bar in patient care and support.
Dr Kamourieh, was wonderful with my mum. She was so polite and caring, taking the time to listen carefully and addressing all of our questions and concerns while making sure we understood everything clearly. She explained what we can do moving forward and reassured us that we’re in this together until my mum receives the proper care. Her professional and compassionate approach truly put my mum at ease.
WOnderful visit where the doctor answered every one of my questions in great detail and then some. She was unlike the previous neurologist I had been to see who I thought was rather good. Until I met Dr Kamourieh that is!
I really appreciate you taking the time to leave this feedback; I’m pleased to hear you had a good experience.

If you have hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos, POTS, MCAS etc etc and you also experience headaches or want to see neurologist - Dr Salwa Kamourieh is the one for you. If you're like me and have a complex history of endless symptoms you'll know throwing your barrage of multi system issues at some doctor's doesn't always yield the best results. But every so often you find one with the remarkable ability to listen to your endless list, review the bigger picture, support your issues as a whole and still somehow have time within the session to work through solutions. Dr Kamourieh is one of them. Highly recommend, I feel lucky to have found a neurologist like that and hope this review helps others too

The Dr really put me at ease and asked all of the right questions to elicit the information and covered everything that I wanted. He explanations were very clear and the next steps and rationale for them made perfect sense. Overall, a really nice experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words — I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Many patients attend with me, presuming their facial pain and headache is due to "sinusitis". They are thus disappointed to find out their pain is non-sinogenic. However, as Salwa is my go-to-neurologist, I am delighted to be able to reassure my patients that I'll now set them off on the right path ... and indeed, Salwa's compassionate expertise soon has them better. It is a joy to share patient care with her!
