Dr. Paul Salinas, MD

Scott and White allows their “doctors” to do as they please and no one is ever held accountable. A rude awakening will come on JUDGEMENT DAY! Salinas should be disbarred.

I underwent spine surgery with Dr. Salinas last year. He was telling me that with his surgery he could improve my pain by 85%. I was estatcic, sadly that did not happen. I only saw Dr. Salinas one time at his office and that was before my Surgery. Once scheduled I only saw his PA, Shelby, she kept telling me I would be so happy and play golf again, as it turned out after his surgery I am unable to walk, Shelby was 0% help on everything. I was then scheduled to have a Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted for my pain. This was August 2023, he implanted a Nevro unit in my back, This did nothing. I started seeing another Neurosurgeon in February 2024, He said the Nevro Unit was not a good one, He liked Abbott. So long story short, I called him the Ghost Doctor because he totally ignores you. He does say a few words as the anethsia is being given at surgery time, that's it. I do not recommend this facility at all, I left much worse off than when I arrived. Once the surgery is over, they pretty

My 88 y.o. Father had back surgery and was told he could expect to go home after a day or two, he would be golfing this spring. He was told he could go home and see how things went, if he needed more help we could arrange that any time. All of this was untrue!! He can barely walk with a walker and he is not safe to be alone! He will not be golfing in a month, this was a bunch of lies. My Father is in great pain and needs assistance-not sure if we will get this. Do not let this man cut you open!

I am very disappointed in him. He was highly recommended to me by my neighbor and he agreed to operate on my neck because I could not hold my head up straight. He said I would be in hospital one or two nights and I ended up in hospital a month and then in a skilled nursing facility for a month and a half and have permanent nerve damage in both hands. I still cannot hold my head up straight. I was scheduled for surgery November 11 and was to be there at 6:30 am but when I got there he was operating on someone else and I was told he was having a problem with the surgery and I was left on a table waiting until 11:30. I did not get to come home until January 15. I had to have a sitter for two weeks and since then I have been on my own. I am still going to occupational therapy but it does not seem to be helping my hands.

From the front desk to the nurses to Shelby P. A. to Dr Salinas everyone is so nice and very professional. Dr Salinas is awesome. I’ve had a very bad experience with a neurosurgeon and Dr. Salinas put me at ease and explained everything. He advised me but didn’t force me to have surgery.

My brother arrived at carrolton medical regional and “Dr.” Salinas was the on call neurologist this day. My handicapped brother had a malfunctioning shunt that had been placed 35 years ago and this “dr.” told the client and his mother that the shunt was miraculously not needed anymore. They discharged him and he walked out of the emergency room with no wheelchair or anything and went home in so much pain. Thank god for smart family members who knew this wasn’t right and took him to a competent facility (UT Southwestern) where he went into emergency surgery and was told he would not have survived the weekend under the guidance of this doctor.

The receptionist, PA, assistants and Dr. Salinas have all been compassionate and understanding of what all I’ve been through. I assumed I would not be able to see anyone for months but was happy to get to meet with Shelby who ordered an MRI and X-rays since it’s been 5 years since I’ve had any. The imaging facility is next to the practice and getting scheduled was easy. A follow up with Dr Salinas was also quickly scheduled. I don’t expect the rest of the steps to be as fast since I have to see doctors outside this practice but thankful for Valerie who is the patient navigator to ensure that my care continues. I also like that you leave the office with a clear written plan for imaging, PT, nerve studies and pain management.

Always so prompt in getting you back to see the doctor. Dr. Salinas is the best, he did a wonderful job on my neck.

While Dr Salinas’ bedside manner may not be to your liking he is an amazing spinal fusion Dr! I had a 2 level C5-C7 fusion. I had the worst nerve pain before the surgery and have never had any since!! I’m so glad I chose him!! His office staff was always friendly & helpful too!

Over all experience top notch

Overall excellent treatment by everyone. And they follow-up with you.

Pre-surgery visit. He and his staff do a very thorough job explaining what is going to happen during surgery and after while recovering. The whole operating team were fantastic and explained their jobs to us. Dr. Salinas has a top of the line team assisting him at his office and in the operating room.

I had a very positive experience with my initial consultation. I did not feel rushed with Dr Salinas and the wait time for him to see me while in the exam room was normal from my experience. Staff was great and explained things in detail and I did not feel rushed at anytime during the process.

All good

Dr Salinas thoroughly explained my back diagnosis where I understood the consequences if surgery was not considered and the pros. I felt very comfortable with Dr Salinas.

My rope swing let me down hard the other day! Fell on my butt and decided to get check out cause I hurt! I did not see Dr Salinas but his PA Shelby. I really liked her and will have no issue to see her again.

Dr. Salinas was Amazing! Real and down to Earth! He made a connection with me instantly, and realized quickly that I was at the end of my rope! I had no problem with the fact that the other doctors I have seen, don’t think my problem is surgical. The other doctors made me feel hopeless, alone, and crazy… That I shouldn’t be hurting so much, and that I just wasn’t being “Tough Enough…” Dr. Salinas confirmed that I have a REAL problem, and set up a non-surgical plan for how we are going to deal with it! Also, he is not just going to send me on my way, and say, “Good luck with that, have a nice life…” He is going to keep up with my case. If things get worse, or I hit a bump in the road, his office staff made it clear that they want to hear from me and see me. If all is going well, he still wants to check in with me in 3 months! He gave me hope and a plan!

Televisit was quick and easy to set up and use; Dr Salinas joined in a reasonable time after start. As usual with office visits, Dr Salinas listened attentively and gave clear and understandable analysis, feedback, and direction - a real conversation. Staff provided very friendly and helpful pre-call support as well as appointment reminders and relevant background questions to enable an efficient call. If you have a choice, I highly recommend Dr Salinas and his staff.

Very professional and easy to talk to.

Perfect visit
