Best Dr ever
Appears to be very concerned .
I had such a good doctor’s visit today. Dr. Sal is always so helpful and patient, and I truly appreciate the way he takes time to listen. He not only know their medicine—he also have manners, and that makes all the difference. His kindness, respect, and willingness to explain things clearly remind me how blessed I am to have a doctor who truly cares. A good visit leaves you not only healthier, but uplifted, and that’s exactly how I felt today.
Dr. Salvaggio took the time to ask about my general health, explained the results of recent tests, and provided the best course of treatment for my specific condition. He is pleasant to deal with and I would highly recommended him. Very satisfied patient here.
