I deeply appreciate being treated as a person with feelings. Too many doctors treat patients like a car in for repairs. The warmth and kindness is very helpful regarding stress when undergoing follow-ups for cancer Cystos screenings. We even spoke about my recently passed away dog, Ebony...Thank you! I pray daily for Dr. Salem, her staff, and the entire facility.

Dr Salem is one of a select few Drs. that takes as much time with her patients as necessary explaining ones individual situation in layperson terms so you understand what options are available. Dr Salem bar is held very high beyond what is only acceptable by today’s standards.
