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.

Best doctor ever!!
Dr. Salem takes plenty of time with me, never rushes, answers my questions, discusses all my lab work, offers suggestions on medications, and treats me with respect. His direction has improved my health considerably.

My doctor had left practice, was given to me. With being a new patient of his I could see this being somewhat slow, he was polite, courteous, apoligized for keeping me waiting (which wasn't long) liked him well enough to make another appointment.

My endocrinologist at this location is the best doctor I have ever had! Hes so detailed and explains things in ways I can actually comprehend. He is the first doctor to tell me how to take my medicine correctly. On an empty stomach when I first wake up and waiting one hour to eat after I take it. None of my previous endocrinologist or doctors have ever explained this to me. Hes funny and professional and is just very delightful! I feel safe in his care.

My care provider is excellent! I am with him on and off for going on 27 years. He's outstanding and very patient and takes the time to explain things properly even when you have cognitive processing problems like I do. Because of my MS. I have referred him to family members

Dr. Salem is a wonderful physician. He is always pleasant, kind and caring and he has a great sense of humor. I have an appointment once a year for my cancer checkup. Dr Salem reviews my lab results and explains them in a manner I can understand. I'm very lucky to have Dr Salem as my physician. I have a feeling all of his patients feel the same way.
