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.

Do Not Trust Dr Salem. We see Dr Singal in Chelsea
Dr Salem makes poor decisions,errors,writes his own path reports & does not get them done within 2 wks. When my daughter (22) called for her biopsy results, they were not done but the office told her the results were “fine.” Salem admitted 6 mos later he was confused and not sure how to interpret the results. And he never wrote the report! When my husband went in for his exam 6 mos later, Salem finally remembered my daughter’s case, but instead of telling us this, he requested that my daughter call his office & that he see her again. When she went in, he didn’t tell her his mistake & he made confusing comments about wanting to take out a little more tissue where he had removed one mole 6 mos ago, despite having told her the results were fine.Days later, he admitted everything & said he sent the slides out to determine melanoma finally, so we had to wait 5 more days. 5 days later he said 1 mole was melanoma and 1 wasn’t. Wrong! Both biopsies were melanoma! (Confirmed @ UPMC) Terrible!

I have been a patient of Dr. Salem for quite a few years. He has such a wonderful manner, is very soft spoken and gets the problem solved quickly. He explains any treatment or procedure in detail in layman's terms. He has been a big help to me. You can't find a better doctor.

Having visiting 3 other dermatologists with different issues with my 4 family members without results. We heard of Dr. Salem. Have gone to him for over ten years. He had the diagnosis and solution for all. He listens to concerns and cares. Really can't recommend him more he needs 10 Stars
