Dr. Michael Salamon was very caring and thoughtful about investigating my need for surgery and thorough in explaining the procedure and outcome. I left there knowing what needed to be done and had the surgery scheduled. After the surgery I was confident that Dr. Salamon did an excellent job and that my recovery would go very well.
