Dr. Ronald R Salem, MD

"I would have selected higher stars if available. He is an amazing person and such compassion and passion for his patients. I had the surgery on a Wednesday and I was in the hospital until Monday. Every single day (yes even on the weekends !) Dr Salem stopped by to check on my progress early in the morning. Such “old school” behavior is truly remarkable. He is great at explaining things and in listening. As my oncologist in North Carolina said in his doctors note re my Whipple Procedure, he referred to Dr Salem as iconic and I can not agree more. I live in North Carolina and I am so glad to have found such a highly competent surgeon and I am so pleased I flew up to Yale to have the surgery performed there. My chemo starts tomorrow and the prognosis is excellent. Thank you Dr Salem and your whole staff for my excellent care you all provided me"

I had an excellent understanding of the surgery I was facing. Dr. Salem’s team approach utilized nurse and colleagues. I had daily contact with rounds from my surgical team. I was very appreciative of the kindness, compassion, and professionalism of Dr. Salem and his surgical team.

Exceptional! Dr. Salem knowledge and kindness reassured my husband and I.

Dr. Salem is simply the best!!! He is extremely knowledgeable about my condition and explained it clearly to me and how he intended to fix it. I feel very confident in trusting my surgery with him. As the section chief and top surgeon in a large hospital, he also took the time to read my email and responded to my question promptly. I feel he is very approachable and always has my best interest in mind. My surgery was a great success. The incisions are nearly invisible and I'm recovering rapidly!!! I want to thank Dr. Salem and his team for a remarkable job and i will recommend them to anyone!!!

His calming voice and demeanor put my husband who was facing a major operation very much at ease. He had complete trust in his abilities as well as his staff.

there is no reason to leave Connecticut to have Whipple surgery when you have Dr.salem and his staff in New haven Ct. I had the whipple procedure done by Dr salem. I was in the hospital for 10days and after about 3 weeks of disconfort I am rehabing in an accelerated pace. the incision is completely healed and I feel better every day. People are amazed at the speed of recovery. If you need a whipple doctor Dr Salem is the best and he is only 15 minutes from my house.

Dr. Salem saved my Dad's life . . . . We will forever be grateful.

Dr. Ronald Salem - this doctor operated on me in 2005 for a tumor on my liver. He made my whole experience easy - and I thank God everyday I crossed paths with him. What an exceptional, kind and brilliant man - I don't know what else to say. I had seen another doctor prior to Dr. Salem and I did not feel comfortable with him. As soon as I met Dr. Salem, I knew he was going to be the doctor to operate on me.Thank you Dr. Salem!Louise

The man's skill is phenominal, and, his commitment to my well-being and recovery was remarkable. Four and a half years later, my cancer is still in remission. Ron Salem and his staff guided me through the crucial process of linking-up with the best in medical care. I was truly lucky to have found such a talented surgeon and such caring people at Yale New Haven Hospital.
