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.

Experienced, professional & talented physician
I was extremely pleased with the surgery this doctor performed. Following it, there was very little pain or scarring. Before entering the O.R., the doctor showed much compassion, patience, and helped me release my stress level. Aside from being an amazing surgeon he is also a very gracious and kind human being. I can't thank him and his office staff enough for their efficiency, experience & knowledge.

Dr Salazar is an excellent professional and an excellent person as well. I strongly believe that God sent me to Dr Salazar's office to get His blessings thru this doctor. It has been more than five years that Dr Salazar took away my breast cancer, and I am still alive ( I am 80) and I had no chemo nor radiation; he is a a man of God.
