Waited for an hour to see physician. When he finally arrived, he sped through the appointment. Felt like a total “cattle call” experience. SUPER DISAPPOINTED.

I don't guess I asked the correct questions but I would have liked to known that I should've taken time off of work. The preop information i got did not indicate that I would need time off so I couldn't file for pto or short term ahead of time.
The recovery however has been great and is not too painful.

Dr Salamon is a top notch doctor. Love his bed-side manners and his ability to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. I will definitely recommend him to friends/others needing his services. Very happy with my outcome.
