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 knowledgeable and explains well.
Friendliness of everyone. Very efficient.

He is one of the best doctors I have ever had! The
He was very concerned about how I was feeling because my blood pressure was low. And he even showed me on his computer screen the part of my heart that was not getting enough blood. He assessed everything very thoroughly. I am very pleased with my doctor. He explained the procedure about the angiogram and was very clear about it. He just needs to update his profile picture lol …he is a handsome man.

Great Communication
I took my 90-year-old father to see Dr. Salvaggio. He had previously reviewed all of my dad‘s records and was very well informed on the issues he was facing. He patiently answered all of the questions we had, and it was wonderful to feel “unrushed” during this initial consultation. We have every confidence that procedures going forward will go well.

Awesome Cardiologist
Dr Salvaggio is very professional as well as knowledgeable about cardiovascular health. My husband had been going to another dr for several years and didn’t get treatment he truly needed for many years. Dr Salvaggio is thorough and explains his treatment and medication changes very well. Highly recommended. My husband was diagnosed years ago with congestive heart failure, his heart is strong it’s the muscles around the heart that are weaker. He has AFib and needs sleep apnea machine. We are very happy we found such a great doctor ??????
