My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Salud for 5-6 years. He has great bedside manner. He's very thorough and open to alternative medicine. I use acupuncture as my first line of defense. His sports medicine background has been so helpful when we've gotten injured. If our insurance didn't change we would not leave him. Sometimes his office staff is slow, but he is great. Also, they run behind at times so I always ask how far behind they are.

I am not a fan of going to the Doctors, when you go you feel like a number and not a person well Dr. Salud, is not that kind of Dr. He is invested in your health, he wants you to be your best self. He listens to you and the issues you are having. He has an amazing bedside manner and he truly cares for his patients. He was my cheerleader through my weight loss journey, giving me tips and encouraging me. The office staff is welcoming and friendly. I looked forward to seeing them all during my visit.

Dr. Salud is seriously the best doctor in St Pete. i searched for a long time to find the right Doctor- one who will take the time and who cares about my health and well-being. He has now been my doctor since 2012 and I recommend him to everyone. He treats his patients as if they were his own family.

Low energy, disinterested, and quite disingenuous would be just a few adjectives I'd use to describe Dr. Salud. Many times it would seem like he was just going through the motions. There was no empathy, with the man, and that's the worst thing you can have with a doctor. Those used to McDonald's service might be perfectly fine with that, but I would just keep looking if you're searching for a better level of care.

This guy is amazing. He is by far the most thorough doctor I have ever had. He is not one to throw medication at you unless really, really needed, and he shows genuine concern for any problems you may have. I love this guy!!!

Dr. Salud was great. Wait time was short and he was very professional. Had been dealing with shin pains for the past five years and was at the point where I couldn't run anymore. He went over some possible causes and then ordered I do a pressure test. He was great in setting this test up and streamlined the whole process to avoid uncessary doctor visits. Also got the diagnosis correct. Top notch doctor,

Today was my first visit with Dr. Salud. He was so kind and listened to the long list of illnesses I have. He put things in perspective for me. He was a breath of fresh air. I would recommend him to everyone.
