Dr. Salko is an excellent dr. He initially treated me 6 months ago, I received an injection that helped tremendously. When I saw the Dr yesterday he discussed a potential problem I could have with my injection and together we chose what is best for my situation. I greatly appreciated his professionalism and thought for my future health 🙏. I'd highly recommend Dr. Salko.

I have seen many md's in'my 80 years. No one told me to put away the papers on my lap, I had questions. Apparently, I was to put them away as he had me do various arm movements. In 8 minutes, I was dx , given options ,which were livr with it, do pt alone not with a therapist, or get a shot in my shoulder, oh lastly surgery which he doesn't recommend and discharged. He did not ask if I had questions. I have arthritis. Maybe that is his style.
