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.

Dr. Sallent is terrific with children. He has a wonderful, caring bedside manner and always has the best interest of my daughter at heart. His staff is also caring and it is clear they love working for Dr. Sallent and they care about his patients.

I can't imagine why anyone would have anything negative to say about Dr Sallent or his staff! Dr Sallent and his team have been nothing short of perfection for my 24 weeker with complex medical needs. I couldn't imagine ever having to go anywhere else! Nadine is a life saver and always makes sure our questions or concerns get answered. Don't hesitate to try his office out!

Dr.Sallent and his staff, primarily Nadine are not only like family they are incredibly knowledgeable, caring and competent group of professionals. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my son's life. You may have to wait in his office to see him, but that's because of his attention to detail, thorough examinations and the care and compassion he treats ever single patient. I attribute my son still being here with a great quality of life to this wonderful doctor and his team. Highly,highly recommend

I could not agree more with the comment left stating Dr. Sallent was dismissive. When I had my appointment with him he was extremely arrogant and condescending. He did not listen to me and my concerns as a parent and snickered when I asked about other treatment options. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. He was a very rude and had no real interest for his patients.

Dr. Sallent is by far one of the most compassionate and empathetic specialist that we have. He genuinely cares about his patients and tries to make the parent feel at ease with sometimes very difficult information. Nadine is truly an angel, and the other staff especially Patty, are Always helpful, kind, and expedient with scheduling, refills and relaying information. I highly recommend Dr. Sallent who helped our daughter manage her asthma, and supported her athletics.

My daughter was a patient with Dr Sallent for almost 3 years. She was a special needs child with complicated respiratory issues. The last time we saw him in the hospital, he was completely dismissive to me. He couldn't be bothered with my questions. To every question he gave me the same answer, just keep doing what you are doing - it's fine. And, no, you don't need to do anything else. In addition, he was patronizing to me as her mother. Unfortunately, my daughter passed away about one month aft

Dr Sallent really cares he takes his time and is very thorought. My son was diagnosed with Asthma at 1 yr and has been uncontrolled. Since we have been seeing Dr Sallent my son has made remarkable progress. We finally have his Asthma controlled. When ever my son has an issue they address any problem with care and understanding. Dr Sallent and his Nurse Nadine are a blessing to us and we are very greatful for there compassion.

Dr. Sallent is one of the most compassionate doctors I have ever had the honor to know. He has been treating children in my family for almost 2 decades, and he does it with outstanding patience, kindness and tenderness, and always a warm smile. He never rushes the appointment and always interacts with his patients as if they were one of his own family members. His staff is also amazing, making appointments and answering questions are always easy and a pleasure. I am happy to refer anyone.

1st apoint dr Sallent blew us off and my infant son was seen by a woman who stuck her bare, unwashed finger in my infants mouth, prescribed him steroids that after questing admitted he didn't need. After 2wks still had not put the script in for saline drops(even after I reminded them). Second visit called ahead told them I'd be at least 30+mins late due to heavy traffic, bridge up+ construction,asked if we should reschedule. Recept said no come.,when I arrived(38mins later) they turned us away.

Dr, Sallent was very thorough and patient . However , my issue is that my daughter had chest x-rays done for chest pains and after three weeks and several calls to the office, I am yet to receive the results.I had to seek the care of another medical professional because I needed urgent answers.
