Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very Exceptional Provider
Dr Selah is thorough, explains everything in a way a lay person can understand. Knowledgeable about spinal pain

Dr. Saleh takes the time to listen to his patients. I don't feel rushed. He is trying to help my pain in the cervical area. Epidural was done today and alittle mor painful tha expected. The team was kind and walked my through every step. It made the pressure a tad more tolerable. Really appreciate having a. Aging team to look after me.

Highly Recommend
I was being treated by Dr Selah in the past for back pain, but when I needed to go on a pain pump i had to be referred to Blue Ridge Pain Management. The pain continued to increase and they were only increasing the amount of pain meds rather than finding the sorce of the pain. I went back to see Dr Selah for a second opinion and he is now working with my doc at BRPM on a better course of treatment. I highly recommend Dr Selah.

Pain Management
Dr. Saleh has been my pain management 'specialist' for some time now, and has never 'handled' me. He is comfortable to address, polite, and does everything he can to treat my pain. So now, I trust him with my care.

Dr. Saleh was seeing me as a first time visit referred from my primary physician. My problem was low back pain. He reviewed the history surrounding my pain; my medications; my level of activity; and ordered x-rays. He reviewed my x-rays with me and showed me areas of concern on the x-rays. He developed a plan of care with me including more x-rays, physical therapy, and discussed comfort measures with me. He was pleasant, knowledgeable, caring, and professional...I could not have asked for more.

Good medical visit
Efficiency by staff while still professional and positive. Thorough physical exam as needed for condition, thorough explanation of test results, recommendation for medication change and explanation of medication need. Was open to patient’s needs and patient’s input for treatment plan. Lynchburg is very fortunate to have Dr. Selah and OCCV. I trust them to provide top notch care for my issues.

Dr. Saleh takes time to explain diagnosis, procedures in detail, and sets forth options available for treatment. He carefully listens to what I have to say, and never seems to be in a rush.

He does not listen to me when I explain the small dose of pain medicine prescribed doesn’t help much. He was kind on the first visit but the second visit he seemed irritated with me and in a rush to get out of the room. He treats the condition and not the patient ‘s pain level.

I've been seeing Dr. Saleh for about a year and a half and he has been the best. He's easy to talk too and strives to do all that he can to help his patients! I've been extremely pleased with him and would recommend him to friends and family.

Dr. Saleh is the best pain management doctor I have ever had. He is a great listener, compassionate and professional. He has helped me when 3 other clinics had done nothing to treat my pain. He is easy to talk to and truly wants to help his patients. I recommend him to everyone I can. His staff is also a class act. Very professional, friendly and helpful. I look forward to my appointments every time.

He was gentle and managed to access my right lumbar area which no one had ever done before during an epidural. Before the procedure he came to me and explained every step. I would definitely recommend him.
