I was hospitalized for an MRI. The experience in the emergency room was amazingly bad due to the facility not the people and after I never heard from the doctor, he left notes in my file.

I like the telehealth calls, as it makes it easier for my husband's mobility. I also like the patient portal where I can express concerns or questions regarding my husband's healthcare and procedures.

Dr Salerno was personable and carefully reviewed my MRI results . He also was able to refer me to a neurologist since my current one is retiring. Very caring doctor!

I thought he was great and showed me a lot of respect for all the problems that I had. And gave me doctors to see to take care of pain management.Thank you very much.

My doctor was very professional, very nice, very courteous, and respectful. He explained everything to where I can understand it, and he did sound like he was understanding to my needs, and I appreciate that when it comes to a doctor. I've had other orthopedic surgeons not really care, and it's been a very troublesome kind of visit with other doctors that don't care. So I thank you very much for Roliva sent me to him. Thank you. Bye-bye.

I was very impressed with Dr. Salerno and he seemed very anxious to help me and to listen to me and I would recommend him to anybody. Thank you.

Dr. Simon Salerno is a wonderful doctor. He rates 10 in every category. The only problem with the system is when you're trying to call and get a hold of somebody, most of the time they want you to leave a message. So it has improved lately somewhat, but they still need to do some work on communication between a live person and a patient calling in. Thank you very much.

Dr. Salerno was extremely professional, knowledgeable. The team, the collaboration amongst all team members was totally outstanding. I felt listened to, addressed concerns, helped expedite my getting in to see another specialist the next day. As I said, it was a very pleasant experience with... It was great seeing people really working well together and it was wonderful. Thank you.

I could not appreciate being evaluated by a physician's assistant when I made an appointment to meet with a neurosurgeon. And there was a physician's assistant in training. I wasn't asked if I would come forward to prove that that's what the service I wanted to be provided with. And then I did not feel that the neurosurgeon interviewed me. I was only interviewed by the physician's assistant. Again, I wasn't attending my appointment to be seen by a physician's assistant. I was looking for a neurosurgeon who is going to apply all of his years of experience to my particular case. So I was a dissatisfied customer. Thank you.

The experience was v Ty good with the exception of the front office person checking myself in. She was very rude not to just myself but to other consumers that were checking in. I find it hard to believe that a Dr's office that was so good that the front desk person can be so nasty to people. She told me that, she may have to reschedule me because I didn't do as she had told me and that was to bring a disk. She did this without consulting the Dr first. I called the imaging location that I had the MRI competed at and they never got back to me. Had she rescheduled my appointment after waiting almost 2 months for this one I was going to let her know to cancel it all together and I would find another doctor someplace else, because her rudeness represented the Dr and the facility.
