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.

This dr does not listen to patients. He does not want you to ask any questions. He’s arrogant and rude. He also kept me waiting 2 hours and 20 minutes.
What went well
  • Office environment
  • Appointment scheduling
What could be improved
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't explain conditions well
  • Didn't trust the provider's decisions

Dr. Saltzberg was not what i thought he would be. We came to my dad’s appointment and he did nothing but talk down to him, and cut in when my dad tried to explain something. He was rude and unprofessional. Not only that, but he suggested a surgery that could potentially put my dad’s life at risk versus a safer alternative. He wanted to review the procedure with the transplant team and they also deemed it unsafe. He didn’t want to listen to our concerns or what brought us there. We will be getting another opinion because this was just uncalled for.
