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. Salar is the greatest! H e listens and treats you as a friend. Very competent and knowledgeable. You aren't a 'number', you are an important patient. You can't help but like the guy!!

Fractured cervical spine
I cannot say enough great things about the care I received for my neck injury. From the first consultation to my post-treatment follow-ups, the level of professionalism, compassion, and expertise exceeded all my expectations. The team took the time to listen to my concerns, explain my condition thoroughly, and present a clear treatment plan that addressed my pain and mobility issues. Their hands-on approach and attention to detail made me feel confident and well cared for every step of the way. I’m incredibly grateful for their dedication to my recovery and highly recommend them to anyone needing spine or neck care.

Neck stenosis
Dr. Salar is incredibly personable and approachable, making me feel at ease from the start. His passion for patient care is evident—he treated my imbalance with effective therapy and recommended surgery, but only when I'm fully ready. I trust him completely with my care.

Exceptional Neck Surgery and Care!
I recently had ACDF surgery, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. From the initial consultation to the post surgery follow-ups, the care I received was top-notch. Dr. Mohamed was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, the risks, and the expected outcomes. This made me feel confident and reassured going into surgery. He kept checking on me even after I left the hospital and until my follow up visits. I highly recommend him.

I had an opportunity of being treated by Dr. Mohamed Salar for a lumbar spinal issue, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his care. From the moment I stepped into his office, I felt heard and treated like family. Dr. Salar took the time to listen to all of my concerns and thoroughly explained every aspect of my condition and the treatment options available. His compassion was evident in the way he approached my care, always making sure I felt comfortable and informed.

Appointment was so rushed
He came in the room and was talking so fast I could barely take in what he was saying and he didn’t even ask me any questions about my symptoms or examine me at all. Just prescribed a bunch of pills and told me to do physical therapy. Overall I could tell he could not care less about me and I don’t think I’ll be going back.

Horrible experience
Dr. Salar had decided before he even came into the room that he would not and could not help me. He blamed my chronic pain on my BMI despite knowing that I chronic immune issues. He said that he does not do the surgery that I was interested in learning about and that 'no one' in the area will do it. He referred to my other doctors by the wrong name, multiple times, and it took me gathering my things in order to walk out to mention a possible treatment that could work. It did not seem like he was going to mention it at all. When I reviewed the visit notes, I found that it was dated 2023 instead of 2024, it was sent to my primary doctor at the wrong hospital, and it was full of lies. There was a whole list of assessments and evaluations he claimed he did with me but the man never laid a finger on me except to shake my hand. I will never see this doctor again and I will make sure that everyone knows what a horrible experience I had.
