I have been seeing Dr. Salerno for almost 2 years. He initially ordered a CAT scan (my previous pulmonary physician had never ordered a similar procedure. The CAT scan revealed a small suspicious mass I my breast. Dr. Salerno called me the day after the scan and informed me of the mass and indicated that I should haved a biopsy asap. I did and the results were positive. Im grateful for the speed of his follow-up and the positive results of that early warning.....minimal surgery and o recurrence. That same level of concern and care are present t each appointment.
Overall, good experience.
1st time with this doctor and he left me feeling confident with his ability to help me with my issue.
