This was a pre-surgical exam, and I couldn't get an appointment with my regular doctor to meet the required timeframe. Though Dr. Salazar is not my regular doctor, I was very pleased with her review of information already in my chart and her seamless extension of the info to my current health and readiness for surgery. Dr. Salazar was great! She really put me at ease, making the exam a pleasant experience.
