In patients' words
"Dr Salameh and his staff are the absolute best! They listen, don't rush you, and are very thorough in understanding what the issues are and laying out next steps."
— Dr. J. Salameh patient review"What set him apart was how present he was after surgery... He didn’t just send a resident — he came himself, looked me in the eye, and made sure I knew I wasn’t forgotten."
— Dr. George Younan patient review"Patient communication for surgery is horrendous. Information received less than 24 hours prior to surgery. Never informed of medical devices needed on discharge."
