“I have been seeing this dr. since 2019 and she has a great bedside manner. Very thorough explaining diagnosis. Listens to all questions I have and answering them and makes sure I understand the information she is giving me. Her office staff is very good in checking patients in. I usually arrive a few minutes before my appointment and I am seen by the dr. within 5 to 10 minutes. There usually is only 1 other patient in waiting room when I arrive so I feel safe about not being in contact with many people. Also the facility is very clean.”

“She is the best. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea 5 years before I met her and I was not very successful in using the CPAP regularly. She coached me and I am using it everyday successfully. She helped me to pick the right machine and right mask. More than that, she made me realize the opportunity available to improve my health and help me adopt it. I am indebted to her.”

Dr. Salamat is an excellent physician. She was able to discuss and determine a variety of options for me, in a short amount of time, with clear communication and a smile. She treated me like an individual person, even though it was clear her office was a busy place.

Dr. Salamat was very professional and pleasant. She asked a lot of questions, presented me with options and provided differential diagnosis. She was open to discussion, had plain down-to-earth explanations and yet, I felt, like I had a choice in every decision. Great doctor!
November 30, 2016Jul D.Verified patient
Love her! Best doctor!
May 4, 2016Marc M.Verified patient
Dr. Salamat was very patient and answered all my questions. We were able to discuss medications and the side effects I was experiencing. In my case, she changed my medications because she wasn't comfortable with the side effects I was experiencing. She was clearly very concerned about my well-being and I didn't feel like she was rushing me out the door. She is the most personable doctor I have ever had . Her appointments seemed all-encompassing and very thorough. She was also experienced in the condition I have and we were able to also discuss research that she has read in regards to my condition. I really felt like I was in very good and capable hands.
