Exceptional Physician; expedites care, manages progress, and calls in other to-notch physicians to handle immediate issues. So fortunate to have Dr. Salazar manage my health care, providing confidence, knowledge, and "common-sense". Highly Recommend!

Dr Salazar is amazing. He takes his time to listen and talk to you. I have been suffering from restless leg syndrome for fourteen years, the medication I was on wasn't working and I hate to take more and more for a little relief. I couldn't go in the car. Everytime I sat down that uncomfortable sensation would start in my legs. It kept me up all night. Dr Salazar took me off my old medication and put me on two new medications. I feel like a new woman. I can finally sleep. Thank you Dr S.

Dr. Salazar has an easy manner, and really listens to you - asking all the right questions to get to the bottom of whatever is wrong. He also is very pragmatic. He understands that people are not perfect and he never judges. He is kind, gentle and really smart.
