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.

Dr. Salata is wonderful! He performed my thyroidectomy last month and I could not have asked for a better surgical experience. Thank you, Dr. Salata!

From the moment we met in his office before my surgery, Dr. Salata made me feel completely at ease. He talked with me about the condition of my Thyroid. Together we made the decision that would be best for me. I was at complete peace with his abilities in performing the surgery. He's very professional, yet was kind and caring of my concerns and answered all my questions. He told me just what I could expect after surgery. I would definitely recommend Dr. Salata to others and I have.

Dr. Salata helped my son with ear tube surgery when he was 2. It was a positive and seamless experience. He was so gentle and friendly. For years, I suffered with chronic sinus-infections which led to bronchitis and pneumonia several times a year. We finally agreed on surgery (my last resort) and he was amazing! From pre-op, to surgery day through post-op, Dr. Salata was patient, kind, and thorough with his explanations. From a scale of 1 to 10, I was a 12 in difficulty during surgery which took 6 hours. He is skilled and a pro with a great sense of humor and humility! I have yet to be sick —10 months later and realize I should have done it sooner! Dr. Salata is the best!

Dr. Salata repaired my deviated septum two months ago. He clearly explained the procedure and treated me with respect. The discomfort from my fall two years ago is now much better as the healing continues. I trust Dr. Salata and will definitely visit his practice for any future ear, nose, and throat issues.

Dr Salata is an amazing doctor. He preformed my sinus surgery approximately 13 years ago. I can honestly say I had no pain. He also preformed my 19 year old daughter's tonsils and adenoids when she was 6. She did very well with her surgery and no complications. My 8 yr old daughter recently had her tonsils and adenoids removed and again our family continues to have great experiences. The nursing staff was so incredibly caring.

I was having ongoing issues with intermittent hearing loss, balance issues, taste, etc. Other ENT's were very dismissive of my symptoms but Dr. Salata seemed to know my prognosis just from answering a few questions....an Acoustic Neuroma/Schwannoma that had been growing at least 10 years and was causing those symptoms. Thank you Dr. Salata for not telling me "it's all in my head", no pun intended.

From the moment I walk through the door & greeted by office staff everyone is so kind & helpful. I have been a patient of Dr. Salata's for many years- it is such a comfort knowing I will get the best possible care w/ Dr. Salata & his team. Just recently I needed sinus surgery- what a great relief it is when you have complete trust & faith in your doctor. Sinus surgery could be a painful experience, but Dr. Salata & his staff made it a pleasant one with as little discomfort a possible. Thank you

I was recommended to Dr. Salata by my primary care physician for which I had been watching nodules on by thyroid for the past 5 years. Dr. Salata went over all my options and I than chose to have a complete thyroidectomy at the Winchester Medical Center. I could not have asked for better care from the beginning, with the nurses, til the end when I left the hospital. My scar will be so minimal that you will barely notice that I had my thyroid removed.

Dr. Salata worked on my nose. I have not been able to breath through my nose for close to 10 years. I had crushed bones and several growths in my nose. I went into surgery at approximately 8 AM and was back in recovery by 915. I was prescribed pain medicine, which a week later have had no need for. Dr Salata is very professional and a kind person. I would recommend Dr Salata for any of you concerns. Thank you Dr. Salata. Gary Y. Front Royal, Va
