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.

Very patient and informative preop and postop.
Dr. Salinas did a great job and I can breathe once again. No more believing it's a dental problem when in reality it was a maxillary sinus problem. He reassured me when I was sure I wasn't going to survive the surgery and the postop period. Can't express how thankful I am to Dr. Salinas.

Very Impressed & Grateful for Dr. Salinas!
The entire staff was great! I am SO thankful I chose Dr. Salinas! I looked at many of his and other ENT's reviews, and other patient's reviews were spot on. Dr. Salinas was professional, asked me many question's, provided me with all scenarios of possible treatment, LISTENED to me, his patient, and genuinely cared about my treatment and recovery. Honestly, I sit here flabbergasted....I haven't seen a Doctor like him! I didn't feel rushed or dismissed and felt he truly cares about getting the answers his patient's deserve, and implementing treatment. He, himself, called me to check to see how I was doing, and to see if there was more treatment needed. I really couldn't believe it, FEW Doctor's operate this way! My husband went in with me, was impressed also, and going to be scheduling an appointment with him soon too!!

Dr. Salinas repaired the defect in my nose created by MOHS surgery. He did an amazing job. You can barely see where the repair was made. I feel like the beneficiary of a miracle.

I was recommended to Dr. Salinas for surgery for my nose by a friend. The procedure and results were amazing !!! I have never really been able to breathe through my nose, after being hit by golf club in 2nd grade..... After the surgery, I feel like I'm hooked to a oxygen tank !!!! Amazing. Dr. Salinas did a amazing job ....would recommend him to my best friend... Why did I wait so long to have this done.. 66 now. Thanks again.

From consultations, surgery, post-op, to follow-ups, Dr. Nathan Salinas has been a dream! Not only is he a very skilled physician, but he takes time to answer any questions you may have, explains medical jargon (not in a demeaning way at all) so that you fully understand. It's very evident he loves his career, genuinely cares and wants to help his patients!

Dr. Salinas was attentive to my questions and concerns. He answered all my questions and provided me with detailed steps he would be performing to correct my nasal breathing problem. The surgery and recovery went smoothly and much faster than I had feared. I would highly recommend Dr. Nathan Salinas and his staff.

Dr. Salinas, recently performed my rhinoplasty surgery. He was referred by his practice partner, my primary specialist, Dr. Joseph VanderMeer - another first-rate ENT. I have great enthusiasm for Dr. Salinas' work as a top-notch technician, especially one with great personable skills; both standards being a rare breed in his field. His staff eased my concerns during post-op. Deep appreciation to Pat, Kendra, Danielle and Brenda. I can breathe and sleep better than ever. Thank you!

Dr. Salinas is the 5th ENT physician I've seen throughout my lifetime in the West Michigan area, but I wish he had been the only one. I cannot put into words how much I appreciated his time, the way he explains things, and how much it truly felt like he cared about me. He unfortunately cannot fix my problem, but he referred me to somebody he trusts, which is good enough for me!

I had to have several biopsies of thyroid nodules done, and was not looking forward to it, I am so glad that I was referred to Dr. Salinas. I have dealt with a lot of doctors over the years, having had cancer four times. Dr. Salinas is one of the most gentle and compassionate doctor that I have ever had. He is extremely thorough, intelligent and knowledgeable in his field, and takes great care to explain procedures and follow ups.

I am almost 70. I have seen my share of doctors and had several surgeries. I cannot recall ever being treated by a more caring and thorough physician than Dr. Salinas. My initial consultation lasted an hour. He did an ultrasound to located the nodule on my thyroid. He took three biopsies of the nodule and one biopsy of an adjacent lymph gland. He then discussed my options, explained everything about my upcoming partial thyroidectomy procedure, and patiently answered all of my questions.
