Dr. Saltzman won my confidence in five minutes he delivered on everything that he spoke about with me and made sure I was comfortable. Be new to the wonderful city of Chicago I was very skeptical. The doctor Saltzman resolved all that for me and I went into surgery with a very positive outlook.

Dr. Saltzman… I used to work in advertising. For a couple years I worked on General Mills, and no matter the cereal, the strategy was always the same: “____ is good and good for you.” Dr. Saltzman is exactly that. Good guy, you can tell he cares (along with the rest of the staff - all cool people). And such a pro. During the surgery, he found other things related to the tear in my rotator cuff. That was about 5 1/2 months ago. I just went to my last visit with him. Last because my shoulder is back to being my shoulder. Overall a successful and kinda awesome experience.

In between the X-ray visit and MRI final diagnostic visit from Dr. Saltzman in 2018 for my right “frozen shoulder”, I got a second opinion from a doctor considered a highly published world leader in his field. Choosing to follow Dr. Saltzman’s less is more approach with PT, I avoided two medications with usually bad side effects and a difficult surgery with a one year total recovery timeline when my family needed me most. Thank you for being a doctor I can count on when I need you most.

Dr Saltzman took the time to listen to all of the details of my injury and also to hear of my health history with both shoulders. He then explained what his conclusions were from the x-rays and from further testing/exam with me and explained his recommended course of treatment.
