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 will happily choose Dr Salinas again!
Dr Salinas cares and takes her time to explain everything and run all the tests to give you the best care! She is an expert in robotic surgery!

Excellent
I have been in and out of Compass Oncology for several years and have seen several doctors. They all have been good, but I particularly appreciate Dr Salinas' warmth, knowledge, and ability to communicate well. I am 15 years out from my original diagnosis, but other matters have arisen over time. She had been enormously helpful, and I always feel I am getting the best care.

A great outcome
I was impressed that she looked up old medical records to find out more info from over 20 years ago. My recent surgery was done with care and I had no need for heavy duty pain killers afterward. I would recommend her without hesitation!

Dr. Erin Salinas is the best oncologist!
When my cancer came back after 5 years, Dr. Salinas was there by my side...literally, she came to visit me in the hospital to explain what was happening. Throughout this unexpected journey, she's been by my side every step of the way. She is always my best advocate...choosing the best surgeons, providing the best treatments no matter how 'tough' they are, and always checking to see how I'm doing. My words can't express how lucky I feel to have her on my side.

She’s the best!
Dr Salinas has been my cancer doc and surgeon for 5 years. I so appreciate how positive and upbeat she has been. How articulately she explains what the best course of action is. She patiently answers all questions and she, and her crew, are all timely and kind. I never feel she is ‘looking at her watch’. I can’t imagine a better doctor and surgeon.

Best Oncologist!
Dr Salinas and team are AMAZING!! Dr Salinas and her team make sure that you understand the entire process and are happy to explain it until you get it. Hearing you have cancer is difficult and sometimes you do not process the information the first time. Dr Salinas’ team includes the treatment room where you have the most knowledgeable nurses in the industry. Bev, Derrick, Becca, Jessi and Becky(now downstairs) are amazing and make treatments bearable. Dr Salinas takes each case and makes a plan per person, just because it’s a routine type of cancer my treatment differed widely against others. The Compass family are amazing.

Compassionate and adept
I'm so grateful I was referred to Dr. Salinas for surgery. From our first meeting, she was kind, thoughtful, and took her time to make sure I understood my diagnosis and treatment options. Once our plan was in place, she worked quickly with her staff to get treatment started and surgery scheduled. I could tell that her staff respects her greatly which added to my confidence. My surgery was a success even when a few surprises were thrown our way, both in scheduling and during the procedure itself. I am especially grateful and humbled by the way Dr. Salinas also made sure no stone was unturned with my final pathology. She absolutely went above and beyond for me which I will be forever grateful for. Thank you Dr. Salinas!
