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.

Amazing Doctor!
He is the Best!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Salva’s my entire life and there isn’t a doctor I trust more than him. I previously was concerned that my asthma would inhibit my athletic and professional goals; however, Dr. Salva assured me that if I follow his treatment plan, I would be able to live a life that is not dictated by my asthma. Dr. Salva transformed my life from a severe asthmatic with regular asthma attacks to someone with high controlled asthma. Dr. Salva is extremely dedicated to his patients and very accessible; any time I experienced uncontrollable asthma at school, he would allow me to come to his office immediately to avoid urgent care/ER visits. I wouldn’t be where I am today without him! I highly encourage those who are serious about controlling their asthma to seek his expertise.

Dr. Salva is the best! He is an expert in the field of pediatric pulmonology and combines his knowledge with his kindness and compassion when working with patients and parents. He encourages his patients to lead normal active lives while teaching both the patient and parent how to properly manage asthma. All three of my children were patients of Dr. Salva when they were young and one still sees him....lets pray he is not planning on retiring anytime soon as there is no doctor I trust more than Dr. Salva! Great staff too!

My boys have been going to Dr Salva for over 12 years - luckily, two have not needed to go back because their asthma issues seemed to have lessened as they have grown older. However, my youngest still sees Dr Salva on a regular basis. He is compassionate, funny and very easy to talk with . My son thinks he is the best too. His care and followup is thorough and timely. He listens and always takes the time to help our family. He is A1 in my book.

My son was struggling in many different ways. Dr. Salva followed through and we avoided an e.r. Visit due to Dr. Salva calling in an emergency prescription. He has followed through with referrals when other Dr.s did not.
