Worst bedside manner ever! You’d think she’d have more compassion dealing with a cancer patient. We should’ve done our research and read her reviews. This isn’t anything new with her.

If I could give a 0 I would. Never had a physician yell at me and after having appt for over 1 year, waiting in examining room for over 1 hr, being verbally abused & never examine me. Being a Cancer survivor since 2002 I go to Bruno Cancer every year after mammogram. Never seen Dr Salter before & can assure you I never will again.

Dr. Salter is my favorite doctor. As a patient, you can really tell she is knowledgeable and really cares. Her staff is impeccable and I was always greeted with a smile and hug.

Dr. Salter is an amazing Dr. Totally straight forward with Diagnosis/Prognosis. We fell in love with her and trusted her completely. When my husbands CA spread to his brain, it was her who calmed my fears and gave me the strength to face the dying process head on. I cant thank the staff and her enough.

Dr.Salter is the most caring, supporting, and loving doctor I have ever seen. She gave me excellent care, and not to mention she gave me warmth and love through my hardest times. She is the best Radiation Oncologist in Birmingham.

Dr. Salter is always surrounded by one or two helpers. Since she is always very well dressed and perfumed, she looks almost out of place when dealing with patients that have had mastectomies, lumpectomies, etc. Her appearance matches the way she treats her patients, a polite but very cold and superior way. No compassion comes from her.
