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.

Delayed my treatment by months, doesn't listen
This review is the culmination of multiple in person visits over the course of the last year. She is the epitome of overconfident, dismissive doctors who have their opinion made up before you even explain what is wrong with you. For several months she continued to assert that my chronic condition was nothing more than anxiety, which it wasn’t. She doesn’t believe me when I tell her again and again that I don’t have anxiety.The worst part is that she is actively delaying my treatment. On three separate occasions I requested that she order tests that I thought could be useful. Each time she confidently told me that these tests would do nothing for me and were unrelated to my condition. After 6 months of me asking she finally relented and ordered the test. The result came back POSITIVE! This result helped inform what was wrong with me. If she had just done her job by ordering tests my treatment would be 6 months further along. Absolutely shameful.If it was life threatening I'd be dead

Dr. Salazar is kind, compassionate and goes above and beyond to make time for me. She explains all my questions and concerns with utmost care. She truly cares about her patients and takes the time to discuss possible paths forward. Very professional. I would recommend anyone to go to her practice.

Dr. Salazar is a kind and compassionate doctor who always stays up to date on the latest medical advances. She listens to all concerns, and is always willing to help someone in need. She has a big heart and takes good care of her patients. I have never seen her not listen to a concern or brush anything off. If something is wrong, she will always find it. She is one of those doctors that entered medicine for the right reasons. I would recommend her to any family member or friend.

Very poor listener. She made the patient appt. about her. She was rude to my wife when she tried to offer some of my medical Hx. She was very angry while she made her assessments. She did not want to be my MD which was my feeling as well. While I was talking to the Office manager, she came back in the room yelling that she was going to call the police as she said I was abusing her staff. I do not think she is good fit to interact with patients.

Not good, terrible, insulting, and not what I have learned over years, is how Professionals act.
