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. Salem
Without hesitation, I would recommend Dr. Salem to my family members, as well as my friends. He was on time, the crew helping him was funny and made me, the patient, feel very comfortable. Genuine thanks Dr. Salem. I will be asking for you again in three years, when I am due for my next colonoscopy. Since I do not know what would constitute a Telehealth appointment I will say the whole process was conducted, in person by Dr. Salem.

Life Saving and Compassionate
I have anemia and had been through other hospitals and physicians. This compassionate physician told me he had my back, we got this and surgically found and repaired 3 tears. Life saving, thoughtful and humble, he stands out against everyone else I've seen. Highly recommend.

My first appointment
This was my first appt with Dr. Salem. He’s professional, pleasant to talk to, felt he was listening to everything I said an didn’t feel rushed. I was not able to provide allot of information re my issue, therefore suggested a fiber drink. In the interim doing lab order to confirm all is well.

The best GI!
I’ve been to a ton of GIs and from my first initial visit with Dr. Salem he came to me with a game plan I’ve never experienced that before and felt good about working on my health with him so I strongly recommend him he will most likely have a wait time (that’s a good thing) but he’s worth the wait!!!! Trust me.

Excellent physician, friendly staff
Dr.Salem is one of those rare physicians who isn’t looking at his watch or has one foot next to the exit door while you’re asking a question. You have his full attention. Dr.Salem is a kind,caring,thoughtful doctor. The staff is pleasant and friendly.
