“As a psychotherapist it is important to me to have both a personal and professional relationship with PCPs and their nurses and staff. I not only highly recommend Dr. Salcedo and his team to my clients, but I am a patient as well. Dr. Salcedo is highly knowledgable in most areas of general wellness, dermatology, veins, weight loss, sleep and anxiety management, and allergies. His kind, compassionate, and he makes a special point to be personable to all of his patients including asking about their family and remembering special moments in their lives. His staff are made up of some of the most gentle and professional women in the industry. They are kind, caring and friendly. They offer support in both English and Spanish.
