    How was your appointment with Dr. Salama?

    Oct 11, 2019
    Dr. Salama was very understanding of my neck and back pain as well as my wishes to not take prescription medications. He ordered MRIs and then reviewed them with me very thoroughly. He makes recommendations along with pros and cons. He takes time to explain your condition. His office hours are o.m as the last patient taken is at 3:30 p.m. ( May be an inconvenience with work schedule), however, once there the wait time is reasonable. He was highly recommended.
