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.

Dont go to this doctor. The doctor, the PAs and front desk are unbelievably rude. The office has made so many mistakes with my prescriptions to see specialists.

Unfortunately i had a very bad experience with Dr. Saltzman. The medication she gave me caused a very bad reaction. I was severely nauseous and throwing up. I left two messages on two phone numbers that were listed and never heard back from anyone. When I finally spoke to her, at my scheduled visit time (it was a televist) she said in time it will wear off. It didn't wear off. Finally I called my PCP who told me a doctor in her office is licensed to prescribe that particular med so i switched to the other doctor. She immediately changed the medication plus the dosage and there was an improvement which, after awhile caused the symptoms to disappear entirely. It was a different variant of the same drug and it has worked well every since. In addtion, Dr. Saltman was not respectful to me on the phone and her manner was very offputting. I appreciate professional courtesy when I speak with a professional and she did not act in that manner towards me

Lucero in Brooklyn, NY – Jun 25, 2018

I was really excited when I could easily make a same day appointment online but quickly found out why. I went to the office. Arrived at 6:50 for my 7:00 appointment. I wanted until 7:50 when I finally got up and asked If i would be hearing my name called anytime soon. They said I don’t know, which is when I asked for a refund... wish I wouldn’t have left my friends to go to a doctor that may or may not exist. Worst doctor experience I’ve ever had. Would never recommend.

My daughter went to her office, waited an hour for an appointment. Dr. Salzman left. She had some PA see me. I walked out ... She still billed me $1000. She billed me $500 for diagnostic test she never DID !!! When I called her office I spoke to Kalela. She claimed to be the office manager. She said she would reverse the charges.

I saw Dr Saltzman for the first time on Friday. It was a wonderful experience from the moment i arrived. Friendly , helpful staff. I waited about 10 minutes and was escorted back to her office. Dr. Saltzman made me feel at ease right away. She had researched my previous records and the consultation was smooth. Im sure i will return and would reccomend her to anyone seeking a clear informed professional to manage their care.

WONDERFUL. At last a DR I can communicate with. AND I AM VERY FUSSY. She is charming , understanding , marvelous staff and a comfortable environment. 11/10. Regards Dr Timothy Hadley. N.B. I also come from three generations of dr's, surgeons etc, so I do know what I am talking about. I haven't felt as good in ages, a main part of the reason being I have confidence in Dr Saltzman.

I would 100% recommend this doctor to family and friends. Her office has a warm welcoming feeling from the moment you step off the elevator. Her staff was very efficient and made my check in process quick and easy. As for the doctor, she was likeable and compassionate. I was anxious going in to my appointment and felt relieved when I left. She listened to all my worries and answered any questions I had.

Very possibly the worst doctor I have ever seen in my life. Never able to remember a thing about me, tries to treat me pharmaceutically for conditions that are secondary to the disease I will be having surgery for AND THE SURGERY MAKES PHARMACEUTICAL TREATMENT A MOOT POINT AS IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT SURGERY RESOLVES THE SECONDARY AILMENTS. This is something I was easily able to understand by reading current research... but ditzy Dana decided to try to act like these were all separate illnesses...

This is a one stop shop and I highly recommend dr. saltzman to anyone looking for a primary care doc who goes above and beyond! Her office staff is friendly and organized and the doc takes her time with you and isn't alarmist about my health, rather she is very calm and listens. She also does acupuncture and that has helped so much with pain and stress.

The office is beautifully kept and has a relaxing waterfall in the waiting area. The staff is friendly and professionally. They answered all my questions with exceptional concern. Dr. Saltzman is a breath of fresh air-- personable and concerned. She does not just grab her prescription pad to get you out of the office but gets to the core of issues. She treats holistically and incorporates alternative medicine ie acupuncture, herbs and homeopathy into her practice.

I've been going to Dr. Saltzman for several months and knew right away that she actually cares about her patients' health and well being. Her practice has number of services and she is very good about accommodating people with busy schedules like myself. I primarily participate in drug counseling and the suboxone treatment program. Suboxone treatment is not something that many doctors have much experience or expertise with or do very well, but she really knows what she's doing.
