After driving an hour to get there and then waiting 1 hour and 20 min past my appointment time. Dr. Salamon had an intern who came in and looked at my injury without his supervision and left. When Dr. Salamon came in the room he didn’t even look at or assess my injury. He did not seem interested and spent less than 2 minutes with me. He told me that my ankle fracture is a sprain and to wear a boot for 2 weeks and call PT myself on the third week. He did not ask me any questions. He was not concerned about the pain and did not even tell me to schedule a follow-up.
