Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Salama has been my Primary Care Physician for 22 years. He is a man of impeccable character, and is not only highly skilled, but personable and caring. I am almost 81, and have had regular doctor visits all those years. Dr Salama is the best PCP I have known.

Dr Salama & staff receive 5 stars
Dr Salama is very responsive to questions and thoroughly evacuates my issues for a decision. He takes the time to listen to my condition and does not rush me out the door as most Physicians in today's 15 minute time limit per patient. His staff is also very friendly and though in checking my vitals and documenting my condition.

Doctor Salama has been my personal physician for 26-years and he is the best doctor I have ever encountered. He always takes time to review how I am doing and has always treated me and my various conditions personally (as if I were his only patient). He has treated my blood pressure condition perfectly for over 20-years. He and his staff are very friendly and professional. It is my personal belief that if you are in need of a doctor you will need to search far and wide to find a better physician than doctor Salama.

He said I had TB . did not test me that day because he forgot to tell his nurse to do the vhf test . Told me to come back in 2 days . Which was his day off of course . So I went back friday . He was looking for the skin test mark , lol I asked what test . He told me to come back Monday . Over the weekend i researched TB more and found out i ty also could b tested by a blood test which i still do not have a clue why it was not done the Friday before .So i called before i went in Monday to set it up as a blood test . He still insisted i had TB . Test came back and i was right and the so called dr was wrong . When he first said I had TB , I asked if it was cancer . I am still not sure what it is , but I go to my new DR. In 3 days and i will go from there with a compitent doctor . My experience with this so called dr whom i say is a quack was worst in my life . Even Army DR'S were better and I would never in my life recommend one . Maybe that is where he was for his internship

Dr. Salama is one of the most effective physicians I have met. He carries on a tradition of practicing holistic medicine in that he looks at the total person and doesn't jump to a medication as a solution. I would recommend him to anyone.
