I finally found a primary care doctor who REALLY listens and "gets me". She addressed my questions and concerns and immediately and clearly outlined a detailed "next steps" plan that could be started immediately. She explained each step clearly and in the order of importance. I am so excited to continue with Dr Salom; she and the whole staff were great. She will definitely my new PCP; I'm so glad I found her!
