Patient Comments
I have all my faith in Dr Salerno. Very good Dr. I put my life in his hands.
Dr Salerno was excellent! Extremely thorough and answered my questions with apathy and concern. Excellent doctor!!
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
