He listened to me and was very patient with me
He's a great advocate for real exams prior to any recall surgery or embolization. He's long experienced and comes from a medical family. Kind and personable.
He listened to all my concerns and made suggestions and I decided to implement in my life which thankfully has worked. He is professional, knowledgeable and efficient.
Very competent professionally and very personable.

Great help, efficient staff. When you mention his name to others, their response is “Bless his heart.”
I thought he could use a refresher class in respect and kindness. He was short, pushy and irritated when I did not agree with a diagnostic measure he insisted on performing. I would not return and would not suggest anyone come to this practice
Dr. Salleby was very helpful in diagnosing and treating my health issue.
Very caring, very knowledgeable Dr! His father was also my Dr!
I love him!! He’s so compassionate and caring!
