Dr. Charles Angelo Salazar, MD

I was largely disregarded every time I went to see him. I tried to ask questions regarding my health concerns, and was rudely and coldly brushed off and rushed out of the door. I was literally in tears the last time I went because I was treated so poorly. He is a robotic doctor with little or no personality aka gentle and friendly / open bedside manner. He might know how to deliver a baby or do a medical procedure, but it would be really nice to not be treated so cavalierly. I am done with his practice. I refuse to be treated that way. He is not the only doc in town. I have found another OBGYN and am ready to put it behind me.

I am post menapausal and had some spotting, my family dr referred me to Dr Salazar. My first appointment I was kept waiting for 1 hour in the exam room, when he came in he did not say he was sorry or explain why I had to wait so long. We talked and he scheduled an endometrial bx, never examined me. I went for the procedure and waited 35 minutes in the room. I was nervous because I had not had a period in over 23 yrs so I was concerned my cervix would be stenosed. He finally came in with several people, again did not examine me, and proceeded with the procedure. I have an an endometrial bx before but this time it was extremely painful. I felt as if I was giving birth because the cramping and pain was so bad. I told him he was hurting me but he just kept dilating my cervix. Afterwards he did not ask if i was okay or anything he just stated we would have results in about a week and if he did not get enough tissue he would do it again at the hospital. I specifically asked if my… cervix was stenosed and he stated yes. I received my results and it was not cancer and he wanted to talk with me about where we would go from there. I told the staff I would never come back to him because of how he treated me at both visits.

Not finding this practice (nurse, doctor), to have a compassionate demeanor to a patient who is about to have a horrific medical procedure. Too nonchalant, and a toughen it up attitude. This gives the patient a leery feeling about the doctor.

I came to Dr. Salazar after loosing two babies at 6.5 weeks. He saw me at 4 weeks along and prescribed me progesterone on my request to help. At no point did anyone at his office make me feel silly for being so concerned. Every at the office answered my questions and was kind and courteous and they truly care about their patients! Dr. Salazar even had me meet all the other physicians in the office since he realized that he would probably be out of town when I delivered. He was and Dr. Larkin's delivered my beautiful healthy baby girl. She was born at 37 weeks and is perfectly healthy and I truly owe that to Dr. Salazar and his staff! I am now 15 weeks along with my next and when I saw him Angie at the office greeted me, as well as (I think this is her name) Stephanie. they both remembered me and my daughter and asked how she was doing! Not once did they joke or poke fun about me being pregnant again but were truly happy for me. they truly make you feel like family and ALWAYS notify… me if the doctor is running behind and about how far behind he is. Dr. Salazar is always kind and gentle when I see him. He answers all my questions and helps to reassure me that baby is healthy. After loosing 2 precious babies to a horrible OB because he would not listen I can honestly say that I trust every physician in his office with my life and safety. When my youngest was born, she had a BM while in the womb (A sign of distress in labor) but her heartbeat was steady so they allowed a vaginal delivery. The cord was wrapped around her neck and Dr. Larkin's let me know its a good thing she came early because she might not be here if she went to term. She said it with empathy and showing that it was truly a miracle that she came into this world with no issues. Dr. Larkin's even had NICU in the room when I delivered to check her over and make sure she was ok. they gave her the all clear and I was assured the entire time that it was just a precaution. what wonderful care I received. Also Dr. Salazar did tell me he was sorry he was not in town to deliver! How many OB's do that? I will never go to anyone else for my care and when my daughters become old enough and if he is still practicing I will be bringing them. Everyone here is truly that kind!

Each time I came to the office I was greeted by a friendly staff member at the check in. I was then brought back to the room by a Medical Assistant. She was super nice. Dr. Salazar has always answered all of my questions and followed up with me on my health. They did recently change from one electronic charting system to another. Now when I have went to Labor and delivery at Community Hospital South he can see this in his system. Prior to this he wasn't able to view my records or even know that I went to the hospital if he wasn't the on call physician. I love that when I see him for pregnancy concerns I only see him. I hate when you have to be seen by three and four different doctors in the same office. I was told he will be the one to do my delivery even if he isn't on call unless he is on vacation or something. I would highly recommend all my friends go to see him. Acutally I send all of my friends to him. He and his staff are great!!

I have had family doctors and ob docs. Dr. Salazar is my absolute favorite. I look forward to seeing him every time I am there. There has been one time that I did not get to see him due to him being on vacation. He will be delivering my second child that will be due in Feb. I am looking forward to him being there . My first OB with my first child was just ok, but Dr. Salazar is Awesome ! I recommend any female to go and see him. My cousin and I are extremely happy that we chose him as our OB. The waiting time is a tad bit long, but he is well worth the wait ! =)

Each time I have visited with this doctor (7 months along), he had no idea what was going on in my pregnancy. I have been admitted to the ER three time, no one from the practice came to see me. On my next visit, Dr. Salazar had no idea that I had been in the ER so many times or what was going on. If you would like an apathetic, aloof, and unresponsive care giver. This is your doctors!

I would recommend this Doctor to everyone. He did all f my prenatal care and delivered my first two, and he did my prenatal care for my third child after 21 weeks, and delivered him to. his bedside manner was AWESOME, and in all the time i was seeing him, i only saw his partners twice. once for a prenatal visit with my first because he was on vacation, and once while i was in the hospital after i had my youngest because he was in a csection. every other time it was him that came in to see me, even while i was in labor with my kids, he came to the hospital before office hours, at his lunch, and after office hours. and he never left his partners to deliver his patients. he even told me one time when i asked, that he did everything in his power to see to it that he delivered all his babies. when i had my first and i had preeclampsia, he didn't wait around and use the line "the longer he stays in, the better". i was in the hospital that night for an induction. with my youngest, when we got… to 37 weeks and my son was measuring over eight pounds, he didn't hesitate to schedule an induction for exactly 39 weeks, and then stripped my membranes at my 38 week appt to try and help me along. he's very through when it comes to making sure any symptoms you might have aren't major problems. he explained everything so i understood it, made sure i understood all of my options when it came time for me to make decisions, and he really listened to me. i no longer live in this area because my husband is in the military, but when we do finally move home, if he is still practiceing, he will continue to be my obgyn,

I recently moved here and so I picked one of the first Dr.'s I had read a lot about online. Dr. Salazar left a nasty taste in my mouth so much so that I am switching him from being my provider at THIRTY WEEKS within my pregnancy! I wouldn't recommend for any one to go to his office!

Dr. Charles Salazar has delivered 2 of my children and will deliver my 3rd, due in March. I love the entire office, the staff while professional are also friendly. And I have to say, kind of get over the "waiting period" it's not like they are back there playing solitare. If they are late, they are busy. I almost promise :)
