      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.
