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.

I love Dr. Salim
Dr Salim was helping the practice and he did my initial visit. I was nervous initially and after a few minutes all the fear went away. Dr. Salim is just really nice, open and if you get nervous in the doctors office this will be a new experience. His speciality is pediatrics, but he did well with this adult. The office was very nice too and very friendly.

Wonderful Neurologist!
Dr. Salim is great! He’s so kind to my son who has autism which I really appreciate. He put him on a medication that has really helped his ADHD so he has been able to focus for a few hours on school work which is incredible because he is nonstop moving around 24/7! When my son was having staring spells he didn’t ignore them or take them lightly at all, he ordered a 3 day at home EEG test to be done twice to make sure he wasn’t having seizures since I myself have a seizure disorder. We are so happy we found Dr Salim. I was told he’s the best Pediatric Neurologist in the surrounding areas and I believe it!
