Dr. Salam takes his time and explains illnesses and procedures. He is not afraid to seek others advice when faced with a challenging diagnosis. Other doctors told us there was nothing that could be done and Dr. Salam persisted and found alternative care and Drs elsewhere who were able to provide the care and fix the problem. Thanks to Dr Salam and his knowledge, concern and dedication to us.

Dr Salam is an excellent cardiologist taking time with his patients and asking questions as well as answering questions in a manner that is not condescending. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He schedules his patients so that you are not waiting hours at a time.

My experiences with Dr. Salam have always been good. Whether in his office or when you are a patient in the hospital. He takes the time to answer your questions and never makes you feel like you are being rushed.
