Dr. Salko is a wonderful doctor. He deserves 10 stars he listens, he examines, he determines the cause of the problem and gives you a straight answer as to the prognosis. I think he is absolutely wonderful. I trust him implicitly. I hope he can fix my shoulder, but he gave me sincere, straight information and it may not be possible unless I have surgery. I am 87. I’m gonna be 88 in July, I am just coming out of a para esophageal hiatal hernia repair in Boston, I do not think that my body can take another surgery and recuperation. In my mind, I have the mindset that I will be recuperating and preparing for death. the pain is terrible. I trust Dr. Salko and I’m going to hope for the best.

DR. Salon was pleasant and very straight forward about what to expect and the discomfort level of the procedure. He let me know that there wasn’t any guarantee that it would work and I appreciated his honesty. I would recommend him . Also, I hope it works !
