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. Salvino is attentive and through. Spot on with my diagnosis. My condition cannot be cured but he is successfully monitoring and managing so I can enjoy high quality of life.

Visit and procedure was perfect
I was greeted and checked in kindly upon arrival. My nurses worked well with each other and me to make sure I was taken care of. Dr. Salvino came to talk with me before my procedure and explained everything as well ask if I had any questions or concerns. The whole team was very reassuring and made me comfortable to be in their care. Recovery went smoothly and once I was fully alert Dr. Salvino visited to give me a summary. After that I was able to get myself together and head home. Really can’t thank the Dr and his team enough.

Dr Salvino is a fine doc as far as clearly being competent at what he does. The only thing I'd note (which not surprisingly other ppl here have mentioned) is he did seem to be impatient, arrogant, rude regarding questions. I get that he does these procedures every day and is no doubt good at them. What he seems to either fail to understand or just simply doesn't care about is that his patients don't in fact do this every day and have questions/concerns and don't need his attitude. Had Dr Salvino responded to me in the way he did this morning in pretty much any other context (say at a store) he would've gotten a 'very different me' and prob would've had a REALLY bad day. Just saying. I feel like being in a surgical gown makes some of these cats forget they're talking to another grown man. That's probably not smart. See you again in 5 years doc. We'll try again and see how it goes. You lose nothing by demonstrating good bedside manner. Food for thought. -M

Not impressed, wait time was to long, hard to get ahold of office. And he only spent about 3 minutes with me.

Although I waited a long time to see Dr. Salvino, it was worth it. I understand in healthcare it's hard to put a timeframe on everyone's appointment. Some patients take longer than others and I can respect that. Dr. Salvino took his time with me, answered my questions, and made me feel comfortable. Today was my 7th time seeing Dr. Salvino and I will continue to see him if clinically warranted. Dr. Salvino is a great doctor. TY

500 characters is not enough to fully explain my experience. In my experience the office staff/medical staff and Doctor rush through your questions and concerns. The medical staff lied to me and failed to submit my prior authorization in time for my medical treatment. Dr. Salvino did not feel it was necessary to view my scope notes and pictures ahead of time, even though I called to request that he would do this for me, prior to discussing the next steps in my treatment.

Seems like he is rushed on time when talking to him. Visit is shorter that ten minutes. Wants to get in and out as fast as he can, possibly to get more patients so he can make more of a profit.

Dr. Salvino and the entire staff are friendly and spend the extra time to answer questions and address concerns. I had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy yesterday performed by Dr. Salvino. The care I received was top notch. I cannot even tell it happened. No pain, no sore throat. They've already called this morning to check on me and answer any questions I have. I would recommend Dr. Salvino to anyone in need of gastroenterologist.
