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.

Horrible
To start with the guy is always late like we don't matter. Never adjusts the meds. He couldn't care how much pain I'm in.

If you want results over bedside manor he’s it
As someone with 7 spine surgeries, shoulder & knee issues, I’ve learned that having proper results is greater than having a Dr who wants to be best friends. Dr Salamon has been spot on with every injection I’ve had plus kept me able to work while in his care. His office is busy because he gets the results. I’m grateful for him taking me on and his help for over 10 years now

Poor communication
My first visit was very pleasant. I then scheduled a procedure with Dr. Solmon but he didn’t interact with me before or after the procedure on what to expect Trying to reach his office is useless .To get his office someone had to actually go to his office to get some kind of communication. The prep for the procedure went well. Excellent staff !! I’m going to give him a five star on that And his surgical Staff ..They all seem so professional and knowledgeable However , his communication skills are lacking and it is not fair that we cannot reach his office. As I had some concerns after the surgery I’ve left several messages and no one has as ever answered the phone or returned messages left and this is from January 2024 and it’s now April 2024 still unable to reach his office. I have an appointment on April 3 and will do an update At that visit .

I have been a patient off and on for the past 7 years of Dr. Salamon's. He is fantastic. 5 Stars all the way. He is caring and listens to how you feel. Takes your concerns very seriously and treats your pain the same way. His Staff is fantastic as well! Thank you Dr. Salamon for all your help with all of my surgeries over the years. You are the best! Funny too!

Dr. Salamon is one of the few doctors I have ever seen who takes the time to sit down and explain things. I tell everybody I know if they need a pain doctor they need to see Dr. Salamon!

I have been going to Dr. Salamon for over two years for pain treatment. From the beginning he has been more personable and has spent more time with me than any other Dr. I have seen ( and after nine surgeries I have seen a lot). He has helped my pain and has made it possible through his treatments for me to get out and be active again. I strongly recommend Dr. Salamon to anyone that needs a pain Dr.

Has a terrible personality! Spend all of 3 minutes with me all of which were spend typing into the computer. Never said hello, smiled, or even gave eye contact. I was in a lot of pain and preferred to cancel my procedure and went elsewhere.

I have had two surgeries on my back, both times I have gone to Dr. Salamon as I was still having pain and muscle spasms in my back. He eliminated the pain I was having everyday. It was great to be able to stand up, walk and have some normal function. He gave me my life back. Personnal Doctor with a great staff.
