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, explain in full detail and takes his time

Excellent Care!
I took my elderly parents after years of being with Kaiser. My mom said that Dr. Salhotra was the first MD to care and listen to her since she was a child. I myself am a pt and feel very well cared for. Dr. Salhotra and staff are kind and listen. They are some of the most caring people I have come across in years. I am a nurse myself and am quite picky. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Salhotra to help oversee your health. He is dedicated, well rounded, humble and compassionate.

Very helpful, excellent experience
My wife has a chronic medical condition for which she is routinely treated in a distant city. As her Primary Care Physician, Dr. Salhotra routinely coordinates with her other care providers and ensures that her complex needs are met. He is resourceful, effective, professional, and goes to great lengths to ensure she is properly cared for and treated. A fantastic doctor. Highly recommended.

He was self serving. Failed to follow the law in amending inaccuracies in my records, a vital issue because if my impending SS Disability case. He threatened to drop me as a patient if I pressed the issue further by filing a complaint for inaccurate record keeping. He then retaliated by pretending not to see & find my very recently prescribed thyroid medicine. With a smirk on his face he said that he couldn't find it. So it was never renewed. I had been on thyroid meds for 3 continuous months prior, when my PA had left Dr Saholtra 's facility. I had to go elsewhere to get it.

An appointment with Dr. Salhotra is like seeing a favorite uncle. His years of experience let him get to the root of my problem(s) immediately, and treat it; but more importantly, he motivates me to take proper care of my own health. Furthermore, he advises me on dealing with my 76-year-old body so that I feel as though all will ultimately be OK. This is the old-fashioned doctor who seems happiest when his patients don't really need him any more.

Been his patient over 8 yrs. Would fight to keep him. Any negative reviews I have read that are true? Yes, he goes fast. If you can tell me another Dr That doesn't go fast, I still won't change. Do you put the brakes on when he's in a hurry. If I don't agree with him I argue and I concede about 10 percent. Do you? Be a responsible patient. If you think he is leaving too soon, the phrase you need to learn is "wait I'm not done.

The good Dr. does a lousy job at blood pressure control. For six months and three appointments I tried to get an increase in meds. The sweethearts in the office give low ball readings but my 2 machines at home tell the truth. At the last appointment I took my machine with me and she came up with this ridiculously low pressure reading. They are either incompetent or doing harm to this patient. Neither is O.K., I got angry at the careless way they treat this patient. Be Careful!
