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 and his staff are wonderful.... I went to Dr. Salama last week and I can personally say it was the best experience I have had with a physician in a long time. Asher the assistant is so kind and thoughtful. He greeted me and took me to a room. When i tell him about symptoms he take his time and listen to me thoughtfully. He is a very kind young man who will make a great doctor one day Then Dr. Salama came in after Asher. Dr. Salama really listened to me and anyone can tell that he has years and years of experience under his belt. He relieved my knee pain and explained everything about my diagnosis and treatment in a way that was easier to understand. He is the best doctor I have had in long time. Love dr salama and staff!! Go to him!!!

Worse doctor I have ever seen. He completely missed all medical infos. He saw me all of 10 min! Saw a diff doc that was able to help me. He lied & fabricated information on my report so much so the insurance company refused me care! He works directly for Workman's Comp & not for the patients best interest even in the slightest. I was so broken I could hardly stand and limped horrible YET he filled out he "saw" nothing wrong and even stated that I didn't have a limp. WHY even mention it? Monster!

Dr. Salama replaced both my knees. Post and pre information and care was great. The first knee was done in 2007 and the second in 2011. No problems at all. I strongly recommend Dr. Salama for your knee experience. Southfield, MI.
