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.

Made whole again!
Three months ago, I completely severed my right Achilles, and my world came to a screeching halt. I am a landscaper, gardener, avid hiker and snowboarder, and suddenly all those things were no longer a reality. To say I was frightened is an understatement. The emergency room was my first stop, but Dr. Saltzman’s office was next. I was immediately greeted by Wendyl, and his boost of energy and humor put me in such a good place…thank you Wendyl! And then when Dr. Saltzman spoke the words,”we’re gonna take care of you. We’re gonna get you fixed up”, I knew I was gonna be ok. Again, the day of surgery was frightening for me, but Dr. Saltzman and his assistant, Grace, reassured me. Today, three months later, I stand before you able to walk five miles a day, hike just as far as I ever have, work again in my landscape business, and have hope for the future being made whole again! I still have lots of work to do, but I am confident I will be back better than ever! Thank you Dr. Saltzman!

Thank you Dr Saltzman for care of me Today.
On June 27, 2023 I sat in the waiting room in tears because I had been hurting for 2 weeks, non stop. After looking at my X-rays he had a plan and tonight I am 80% pain free, I know that as I get my strength back it will be 100%. I left there feeling hopeful and blessed that Dr S. not only listen to me, he heard me. And for that I am grateful to be in his care

Knowledgeable and understanding
He was very understanding that I was put in a circumstance that stopped my life. He also made sure I understood he needed to keep me safe and couldn't rush what needed to happen. He is just what doctor should be. He cares about the well being of his patients.

He nearly cost me my leg... I had complications and he denied anything was wrong. He assured my everything was OK. But it wasn't. Another surgeon saved my leg...

Great Doctor. Great overall experience for me. I was able to get an appointment quickly so I was a bit concerned but that was quickly put to rest. Saw him in Westminster office. NP saw me, then Doctor saw me in 15 min of my scheduled time, was able to get treatment and a plan immediately. On the path to recovery.

Dr. Saltzman has assisted me with two knee surgeries and my husband with hand and shoulder surgery. He even set my grandson's broken arm. I have used his services for the past 15 years. Everytime that we needed information about our situation Dr. Saltzman was very helpful and explained the procedures and our options very clearly. He is attentive and wants what is best for his patients. His follow up goes the extra mile to make sure that his patient is progressing properly and is always available to answer my questions. His office is efficient and helpful during appointments. I couldn't think of anyone else that I would trust to handle any of my orthopedic issues.

Horrible service!! went there to check on my foot after 10 days in a boot (for a sprained ankle as per the urgent care).. He just looked at my swollen foot and said it's surprising that it's not getting any better!! and without repeating the X-ray or asking for any further images he decided i needed to get rid of my crutches and start to put pressure on my foot!! 10 days later and by seeing another orthopedic and repeating the X-ray and getting an MRI done, i ended up with shattered heel bone and I am put in a cast for weeks!!

I am extremely pleased with the Dr. Saltzman. I experienced very little pain at the surgical site & it looks beautiful. The discomfort I was having prior to the surgery is GONE!!! I’m walking normally with a walker & im looking forward to my first post-op visit hoping to be told I can use a cane. My next procedure will be a knee replacement & I have full confidence in Dr. Saltzman’s abilities!!!

My 90 yr old father was taken to see Dr Saltzman by the retirement community where he lives. My father was very upset by Dr. Saltzman’s attitude toward him. He received a cortisone shot but felt that Dr. Saltzman was angry at him and that he was being retaliated against. I couldn’t get the thorough explanation from my father because he is somewhat forgetful, but he never wants to see that doctor again and was so upset that he wanted to file a complaint with the professional board.

Excellent care! Pre-op preparation outstanding! Did not need Occupational Therapy due to pre- op advice, exercises and checklists. Care in hospital outstanding. Have kept in touch daily and responded within a few hours to questions or comments in daily emails. Could not ask for better care!

I have been dealing with an ankle injury for approximately 6 weeks. I was only recently referred to Dr. Saltzman after my previous doctor said he doesn't see anything wrong with my ankle and doesn't know why I'm having pain. Dr. Saltzman took time to explain possible causes for the pain I am experiencing and answered my questions. He is a doctor I will definitely go back to for any and all follow-ups and injuries.
