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.

Acted as if he we was in a rush. Spent less than 5 minutes in the room. Gave no help/advice except to schedule and additional appointment in a few months. Charged full price for visit.

He did not listen to anything I said. He did not know how to get rid of the echoing in my ear, but did not have the gut to say so.

I was referred to Dr Salzer by my GP. Dr Salzer is very friendly and caring. He found two tumors in my neck and reviewed them with me via scans, diagnosed and scheduled surgery immediately. My experience with him, his staff and surgical team were impeccable! I could not have been cared for any better. My follow up after surgery was even more pleasant and oddly enough, it was fun! I would encourage anyone needing quality personal medical attention to make an appointment with Dr. Salzer.

I've experienced very poor communication from his office, specifically the surgical coordinator. Phone calls are not returned, necessary updates are not provided so i end up making repeated phone calls to others to find out vital information. No pre surgery instructions or guidance, particulary on medications, so my scheduled surgery had to be postponed and that has created a change in my schedule over the holidays.

This is the third doctor and I have taken my son to for his headaches. Eye pain and head pain on the right side. Other doctors other doctors diagnosed it sinus and cluster headaches, but the medication they prescribed do not work.. We were with Dr. Salzer for less than 10 minutes and he figured out it was a pinched nerve. He pushed on a few spots on my sons neck and for the first time in over a week, the headache was completely gone. He was so impressive that now my son wants to be a Dr.

Figured out what my problem was and fixed it in the office. Went home and have not had any problems since. This was something my GP and another Specialist Doctor had missed. Now I need to make and appointment for my husband.
