Dr. Salva is an excellent doctor. Listens to both patient and parent. Appointments are prompt and not hurried. Only draw back is the staff ... they are not very warm people. I would recommend Dr. Salva...look past the staff and you will find a gem of a doctor :)

Dr. Salva is a class act. From the start and I felt comfortable and confident with his thorough exams and explanation of my son's condition. He is very much into parent and patient education and takes the time to explain the details. He made a point to connect with my child and made him feel important to him. My only negative would be a "rough around the edges" staff that is minimally cordial but does the job. I have thought I had the wrong phone number several times when they merely answered "Hello?" and not "Good morning, this is Dr. Salva's office, how may I help you?". It's not a deal breaker but here's your heads up. The office is in an older building and the office itself could stand to be remodeled. In all honesty, none of those minor annoyances outweigh Dr. Salva's true concern and highly skilled care. Great doctor!

This doctor saved my son's life. We are forever grateful. We continue to go to him for a pulmanologist because my son loves him! I can't imagine nor do I wish to imagine what life would be without Dr. Salva. If you are looking for a pediatric pulmonologist choose Dr. Salva. His staff is wonderful and always have been very helpful.
