The procedure went on smoothly. It wasn’t that painful as I expected. Dr Salko did an excellent job. He was explaining to me what he was doing during the procedure. That was calming. Thank you, Dr Salko.

This man should not be a doctor. All communication regarding my situation was through his assistant. He took ZERO time or interest in what I had to say.

Dr. Salkos is a one-of-a-kind person. He is so attentive and patient with me, and I genuinely believe he is the same with all of his patients. He always wears a smile and makes you feel welcome at every visit.
I am very pleased with his efforts and dedication to doing everything possible to help me feel relieved in my situation.
All the best to Dr. Salkos and his entire team. God bless them all!
