Testimonials
I have been with Dr. Salazar since he was in practice with another group. When he left, it took me a while to find him. I immediately started going to him. He is an absolute professional with a good heart. He cares more than any doctor I have ever been treated by. I have to wait to see him but when I do he does not rush me and is always interested in what I have to say. I changed insurance just to keep my favorite doctor. He is definitely one of the kindest and caring Doctor around. I highly recommend him and his office staff. Change to him and you will never regret it. Love you Dr. Salazar

Usually postpone going to Doctors. I expect to wait hours for a 10 minute chat dismissing all my concerns and no real desire to find the cause of what I am experiencing. Completely different experience here. Saw Doctor right away. He was with me about an hour. I had a thorough examination, adjustment, and am being sent for follow up labs. Great first impression.

I've been searching for a good primary physician for a few years now and can finally say that I found him. :)I recently visited Dr. Salazar for the first time after seeing his raving reviews and I am pleased to say that my visit not only met but exceed my expectations! My interaction first started-off with my calls to the office to schedule an appointment. Not only did they have fantastic availability the girls were so kind, patient, knowledgeable, and pleasant setting me up. When I arrived for my appointment , I was attended immediately and the staff was such a joy to work with. I keep mentioning the staff because I can't tell you how many times I've listed a doctor's office and felt like I was bothering the receptionist - not here! Mimi and the other woman ( who I can't remember her name) was so helpful in ensuring my medical records and insurance information were in order. The nurse who took our vitals was so personable and patient. Finally, my session with Dr. Salazar was not only helpful, but I left feeling confident in my health status and even learned a few things! Dr. Salazar took the time to explain and listen. I highly recommend this office.
