Patient Comments
All good!
Was very happy with the provider I saw. He made me feel very comfortable and relaxed.Was very thorough.
Dr. Salerno makes you feel so welcomed. He is so easy to talk to.
The doctor is great. He explains things, takes time.
The easy of getting an appointment and the location of the facility made it a less stressful experience.
