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.

Compassionate and knowledgeable care
'My doctor is very thorough and attentive. He takes the time to listen to my concerns, ensuring that all aspects of my health are addressed. I appreciate his comprehensive approach to care and his genuine attentiveness during our visits.'

Just been seen and examined by Dr Salas today. He was thorough and explained all lab works with recommendations to normalize the results. He spent more time with me explaining my immunization requirements and my other medical concerns. I am 66 years and had been seen by many doctors before, but I have not met a doctor as thorough and knowledgeable as Dr Salas. I highly recommend him.

I am a long time patient of Dr. Salas. As far as reviews are concerned I firmly believe that character and integrity of a person is very important. Dr. Ernesto Salas is that person which full trust is engraved in patient/Doctor relationship esp if you have medical conditions that needs professional attention. I find solace and peace of mind in him and that alone is very personal to me esp in times when I need him the most. My recommendation for him will surely help many. Many are called to this complex profession of saving lives only a few elite are worthy of it. GOD bless!

I saw Dr. Salas last week and was ordered an imaging exam. I was surprised to receive a call from him last Sunday to let me know the result was normal. I know of no doctor that calls on a weekend. VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!

Dr. Salas has a TERRIBLE bedside manner. Within 5 minutes of EVERY appt with my elderly dad when we asked our SECOND question, he would reply “I don’t have time for that. I have other patients. You will have to make another appt.“ The appts are scheduled for 10 min. You can’t assess a pt in that time. We had to make 4 appts within 3 weeks to address 3 minor issues. He was extremely rude to all family members and caregiver, leaving one in tears. As an RN, I know this is unacceptable!
