Dr. Salgado is an excellent and talented surgeon. I had been suffering from infections due to a cancerous wound not healing on my leg. Dr. Salgado performed an 8 hour surgery transplanting arteries from my arm into my leg to help my leg have proper blood flow so my leg would heal and also did a beautiful graph over my leg . The talent and skill of this surgeon and his team helped prevent me from having to amputate my leg. I am so grateful to have found an amazing surgeon who also has a bedside manner that is outstanding ! Thank you Dr. Salgado for saving my leg and my life!

As a 63 year old trans woman, I was convinced I wouldn’t be able to find a doctor who would be able to address my concerns about transitioning late in life. I searched extensively to find such a medical expert and after a year of disappointing leads, I discovered Dr. Salgado and his staff. From my first consultation to my recent transitional surgery, Dr Salgado has proven himself to be an exemplary medical practitioner! I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome! Dr Salgado and his brilliant staff went out of their way to make me feel confident that my vaginalplasty procedure would be successful and my recovery time unencumbered by unnecessary pain or problems. I spent less than a week in the hospital after the surgery! It has been less than a month since I had the surgery, and I’m happy to report the pain is very manageable and I am able to be up and about for a great deal of time. I can’t thank Dr Delgado and his staff enough for making my dream of a lifetime come true. … - Christina Silva

Dr. Salgado, helped me many years ago while he was in the army. He preformed plastic surgery on me that made me feel at peace and so happy with myself image. I had never then nor now heard this man speak or say anything unkind or disrespectful. While at Fort Bliss he and his work were so greatly appreciated. Thank you Sir.
