Patient Comments
If I had a video of my visit with Dr Salerno, I would like to provide it to doctors as a model of a successful meeting with a doctor and patient. Dr Salerno listened, analyzed, provided solutions and an action strep. He did it all while including me in the process. And in a compassionate way. What more do I need?
My physician has always informed me of my diagnosis and the treatments
I sent my Daughter to Dr. Salerno, that's how much I believe in him
Dr. Salerno provided understandable feedback on my test results and discussed meds in depth.
Dr. Salerno is awesome. He's very good at what he does. I'm very glad that I got him.
