Dr. Salam is so caring. He took over my treatment when Dr. Nordgren left for Utah. He has been a blessing to me through all of this. I have been treated here for a little over 6 years now. He is such a good doctor & I think he's pretty fancy too! I owe him so very much for helping me.

Repair of macular pucker. Praise the Lord! Through the skills of this humble doctor, my eyesight has been restored. I can still hardly believe how well I can see. But Dr. Salam is much more than a highly skilled doctor. He exudes kindness and calmness, plus a quiet joy in serving people. It carries through to his staff and office. We are so blest to have Dr. Salam in our community!

Dr. Salam saw me after hours, performed a vitrectomy on my left eye the following day, and my eye is 20/20 again! He is a wonderful doctor and human being, and I would be hard-pressed to say that about another doctor. Thank you, Dr. Salam!

Dr. Salam is very knowledgeable, professional and skillful. He performed a surgery in my eye several months ago, and it went very smoothly. He also followed up on the surgery and was very thorough in addressing my concerns and answering questions. It has been several months now and my vision has improved considerably. I am very grateful to Dr. Salam for his excellent service, and I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Salam take care of my vision, which is a vital part of my health.

I originally saw dr salam for a detached retina. Some of my vision was lost at that time and with dr salam doing a laser surgery and the bubble procedure I had full restoration of my vision. I then had to see him again for a detachment in the other eye. Again he was able to save my vision with a laser procedure. He has been a true blessing to me and I am so thankful I was able to have him as my dr. He is so honest, kind and comforting. His entire staff is professional and helpful also. Thanks to all !

Dr Salam did surgery on my Retina for a Macular Pucker. He did a great job of explaining everything to me and answering all of my questions. My surgery has been very successful and I credit his ability for that. I would strongly recommend him as an excellent doctor and surgeon.
