"Received proper care from the doctor, listening to my current medical issues, recommending proper medical treatment to address my current medical issues"
"Dr. Salzer is tied with the highest quality care, both empathetically and medically, that I have experienced in my 81 years. That position is held by only one other orthopedist and one other Internist out of many. Exceptionally skilled and thorough, comprehensive in evaluation, and personally engaging and clear. Takes the time to address all the issues and explain actions without letting me compromise things through denial or presumption. Exceptional!"
