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.

Extremely helpful staff when requesting a cardiac clearance. The same day patient had an appointment I received clearance in less than an hour. This allowed the patients surgery to move forward for the next day. It was close and they came through!!Pleasant and awesome staff!!

In all things, over, beyond and above the rest.
In all things, all ways, over, beyond and above, in the respect, courtesy and intentional focus on the patient that Dr. Salazar expresses quietly and calmly. Best listener I've known in a Dr. His altruistic manner has been bestowed toward many others across many health venues and volunteer benefits. That Is Who Dr Salazar is. I always feel like I'm leaving a close friend when I walk away from this office. it feels like a familial warmth in the health care visit. HE ALWAYS MAKES MY HEART FEEL MORE WELL, CALM AND TRUSTING from multiple aspects. THX DR SALAZAR!

Dr. Salazar is so caring and thorough. He answers each question I have with such clarity! I have been in his care for 6 years with pacemaker, heart ablation, and various tests. Because of relocations I’ve had 4 good cardiologists. He is the very best!!!

He is incredibly knowledgeable and skillful, yet is committed to making sure you completely understand exactly what is going on. Dr. Salazar clearly cares deeply about the welfare of his patients in their entirety. Unlike many specialists who are laser focused on the body part they specialize on and that alone, Dr. Salazar cares about his patients - mind, body(in it's totality) & soul!
