      Dr.Salles is a great doctor. She always listens and gives advice on issues I am having. If she doesn't know the answer she will talk to someone and help me. She always involves me in treatment plan. She does not order test and x-rays unless she feels it is necessary. And then again she involves me in the decision. She wants my input when prescribing PT. Advices me on what she thinks is best for me. And she makes referrals to other doctors when she thinks I need to see someone else.I appreciate the care I am given.
