A pleasant surprise. Excellent indeed! I've been in Healthcare management and administration for almost 30 years and have a clear vantage point to standard vs excellent Healthcare delivery and care. I waited patiently for months to become Dr. Salvo's patient but worth the wait. From seeing me way before my appointment time to the low key but professional and thorough first time visit, she addressed everything I needed to discuss. Thanks much!
