It breaks my heart to give this doctor a bad review! This Doctor was very prfessional and was extremely helpful. I saw Dr. Saleh Aug. 2 , Aug 16 and Aug 30th of 2016. I was diagnosed with MRSA on JULY 13TH and he switched my meds and helped me feel better. But when I had to go back for a reculture of my MRSA to see if it could be cleared.. Which he told me that I could call in and ask for them since it would be a long holiday weekend. Well when I did I was told a nurse would call me with result, I never got a call. Not even response after I asked to leave a mssage for the doctor to call me back. Then I called 2 days later and was told that even if the results came in they can not give me an answer without the doctors signing off. I have not seen my family I told the receptionist and repeated again he said I could call that it would take days for the cultures to come in now It will be 2weeks on tuesday, September 12th. It is Friday, September 9th. It does not do well for a patient who has to basically beg for a call back. I even called the after hours doctor's line to ask can someone please can you tell me something. I will go see a different doctor from now on. I honestly liked my doctor but, will not stay because of the horrible stress of a MRSA INFECTION WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE BACK AND A FRONT OFFICE STAFF THAT MAKES YOU FEEL THAT WHEN YOU CALL YOU DO NOT MATTER! I had 3 appoints w/ this doctor but, if you can not get any response back that's not good at all.

Dr. Saleh is by far the most professional, knowledgeable, caring doctor I have ever had the benefit of visiting. I am NOT a fan of going to doctors as I simply do not have the time. However, Everyone from the front desk staff, the nurses, and anyone else I have interacted with in this office has gone out of their way to make me not only feel comfortable but appreciated as a patient. I have found my new Primary Care Doctor.
Verified patient
Very nice and professional. The office staff is quick, courteous, and great at making you feel comfortable. He is very accommodating, even helping me out on his off time so I could get some medical clearances done in time. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Saleh was the man! Really cool guy, used to be the Sports Dr. at UMD College Park, and just a very friendly, understanding professional. Felt very comfortable with him and definitely plan on making him my GP!
Dr Saleh was very professional and understanding regarding my knee issues. He prescribed the right treatment that worked for me. I'm happy with the diagnosis and results.

Just moved to San Diego and needed a doctor - after looking at reviews I knew I wanted to see Dr. Saleh and I am sooo glad I did. Dr. Saleh is wonderful and answered all of my questions without making me feel uncomfortable. Very happy to have found my primary from here on out :)
The office as a whole is great from the front office staff to the MA's to the Dr. Saleh to the end. He really seems to concern himself with your health and takes the time to listen. I will be returning. The whole visit was very pleasant.

I arrived at the office early because I was not entirely sure where it was located.The Doctor got me in half hour early and was one of the most professional people I have ever dealt with. He listened to all of my concerns and then gave me his professional medical opinion. I would highly recommend this Doctor.
Great, willing to go out of his way for his patients. Its nice to have a doctor that explains his thought process and what's going on with your body.
Verified patient
I liked his calm nature. I was very anxious but his demeanor helped me feel much better. I felt as though he was thorough and genuinely took all of my concerns in to consideration. The staff was kind and patient as well. Office was clean and the appointment was overall a good experience.

Went for a physical. Dr. Saleh has a relatable and relaxing demeanor. He was also knowledgeable about gynecology and made sure all my needs and questions were taken care of. Very thorough. Staff was also personable.
Verified patient
Dr. Saleh is easy to talk to and very friendly. The staff is also easy to talk to and everyone was nice. I was able to get blood work and a urine sample done at the office, so that was a big plus (no need to go to a 3rd party testing office).
Verified patient
Went in for a annual physical. I made an appointment for 430. I filled out the patient information online. When I arrived they gave me the prefilled forms to sign and let me in right away. Doctor Saleh and staff were pleasant to work with and very efficient. Definitely recommend.
