Patient Comments
Dr Salerno is such a caring Professional. He Listens and responds to all of my concerns.I feel well supported by Dr Salerno and I am receiving excellent care.
Put me at ease and explained everything to me
Excellent visit with Dr. Salerno as usual !!!
I will keep going to Dr Salerno
As the doctor was leaving, I thought of something re an RX. He immediately turned around and began opening his computer. I was astonished at his level of caring/concern. It was something that could easily be changed at my next visit. (I didn't resize with today's technology, that he couldn't just write it out) I told him it could easily wait, and he made sure that was the case.I truly don't remember being treated with that much concern & respect in a very long time. I appreciate him very much.
