Zero concerns for my concerns with my recovery. After barely listening to me I was informed that there is nothing he could or would do. Was informed that there was no need to schedule a follow up appointment unless it was six months from now and only if I deemed it necessary. I informed him that I felt now is necessary and he said he would do nothing but suggest physical therapy for life and a compound cream. I am not happy with the absolute disregard of anything I wanted to say or his ability to answer any question I had. I am in more pain now than before the surgery and I have been completely dismissed by the doctor who did the surgery. I am a retired combat veteran/officer and I will not be spoken to or treated like a cast off because the doctor thinks I’m an idiot which is how I was made to feel. And I’m sure there are others that feel the same. The walls are thin in that office and many things get shared unintentionally.
My first visit with Dr Salamon was yesterday! I was very pleased with his friendly attitude, his knowledge and experience of my problem. He was thorough and to the point. I will definitely be returning to him for my orthopedic care!!
