      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.

      Dr. Salles is a very caring doctor. She always listens to my concerns. If she can not answer a question she will consult with whoever to answer my concerns. She includes me in decisions she is making. Example: this past visit I have been having flare ups with my hip and plantar fasciitis in my left foot. She asked me how it has been since my last PT. It had been over a year. She then suggested I might want to schedule PT. She talked about when I was ready and I needed an injection in my hip to let her know. And said PT could help with the plantar fasciitis. I feel she listens and cares. And truly has my best interest at heart.
