Dr. Saldanha is great. His staff however is horrible. After cleaning 2' of snow from my car, I get there and they were closed without calling me to let me know. Now I get a $225 bill two months after my appointment and have had two more appointments, which will be another $225 each. We were not informed that this was treated as outpatient surgery and therefore have a higher copay. I'd gone for simple cortisone shots. Now we owe $675 in 2 months on a fixed income and the smart alec administrator says they'll send it to collections if we make small payments.

My daughter received stem cell/prp injections from Dr. Saldanha six months ago, and this past week received stem cell injections (taken from bone marrow in her hip). The dr. was upfront with us about a 75% success rate, so we were just hoping for the best. We are amazed at how effective these injections have been and how much pain relief she has gotten. With bone-on-bone (no cartilage) in her knee, her only option was a knee replacement, but, since she is so young, no dr. wanted to do one--thank heavens for that!! We are truly amazed at how much she has improved and are hoping that the effects are long lasting and a knee replacement, if needed, will be many years in the future. Thank you, Dr. Saldanha!
