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!

Easy to talk to. Explains things so I can understand what is going on with my colitis and how to treat it with diet. Goal to have a normal diet. Wonderful doctor.

Relatable. Did not seem preoccupied. She noticed my work boots and I noticed her black high top converse.
