I feel honored to have had such a great doctor as Dr. Salky. I had Crohn's surgery 20 years ago and was not happy with local doctors and needed surgery again. My surgery went well (and my damage was twice what was anticipated) and feel great. Dr. Salky and his office staff were cordial. Thank you, Dr. Salky.

I've had 4 surgeries performed by Dr. Salky since Aug.09. I have never felt better. He is a remarkable surgeon and compassionate man. I will always be in his debt. Moreover, he's just a really nice guy!

Kind, professional, respectful, I cannot say enough good things about him. I was 62 when I wound up in his office. I am a professional horse trainer and competitor and I was concerned that abdominal surgery would affect my ability to pursue my career. He performed laparoscopic surgery for a colon resection even though I had perforated the night before scheduled surgery (which we did not know going into surgery) and apologized to me for needing to leave me with an ostomy. I was grateful that he had not needed to perform open surgery and the ostomy was reversed without problem after my show season ended. I am still riding and competing. Thanks Dr. Salky
