She also helps with prescription refills when you need ongoing medication, and she can guide you on what to do next if your symptoms change.
Preventing illness matters, and that’s part of her work too. You can also book routine health screenings and general health assessments. These visits are useful when you want a clear picture of your health, or when you’re checking in on risk factors that can build up over time.
Flu season is another big one. Dr Salgado provides flu shots, and many people like to book ahead so they’re not scrambling at the last minute. It’s a simple step, but it can make a real difference for your week-to-week wellbeing.
Language can be a comfort thing, especially when you’re feeling unwell. Dr Salgado speaks English and Sinhala, so at times it can help patients feel more at ease when explaining symptoms or asking questions.
Appointments with a GP are often about more than just the immediate problem.
