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.

Highly recommend!
Dr. Saloom is one of the most caring doctors I have ever met. He is patient, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable. His office is clean and his staff are very courteous and helpful. There isn't a wait time at all. I highly recommend Dr. Saloom for your ophthalmology needs.

I've been a devoted patient of Dr Saloom's for decades. His depth of knowledge is impressive and his genuine concern evident. Have never waited more than five minutes for my appointments. He respects his patients and his profession. He brings a level of customer service lost in today's medical environment. Outstanding physician for all manner of ophthalmology and cosmetic needs.

The front desk is super friendly. Dr. Saloom is super down to earth and speaks in a professional manner that a lay person understands. I would absolutely recommend him to my friends more importantly I would recommend him to my family.

Dr. Saloom and his staff are friendly and helpful. His prices for the procedure that I had (Botox injections) were better than the local dermatologists. I never have a problem getting an appointment, nor have I had to wait around to be seen.
