Dr Salerno replies to my questions via messages in the portal in a very timely manner.
This dr. is very kind and concern. I'm very happy with him.
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.
Dr. Salerno is very caring and shows true concerns for my health issue.
