      Dr. Salles is a wonderful doctor. She listens and is always shows concern about my numerous issues. And if she does not have an answer she will contact someone who can answer it. If not for her I would not be able to function as well as I do.

      This was a very good experience. She recommended that I make another appointment so that she could physically examine me. Because it appears that something is going on with me. That the only way that she could medically advise me was to see me and go from there.
