Patient Experience Reviews
Provider explained my diagnosis and what I can do to help alleviate symptoms and really took the time to make sure I was comfortable. This is why I send family and friends to him!
Great Physician, he explained possible alternatives to surgery.
Dr. Salata and staff continue to give the best care and consideration in regards to my shoulder issues and the care I need for them.
He is the smartest ortho I have experienced who is up to date on latest clinical information and explains complex terms in simple terms which make decision making for me for my son very easy.
Dr Salata is knowledgeable and compassionate. He reviewed my condition thoroughly and explained available options for treatment
I had a fantastic experience! Dr was very understanding and did not treat me like an older person! He was every helpful and was careful to make sure I understood. There should be MORE doctors like him!! I can't say enough about how good he was!
I had a good experience
*** Dr. Salata was very thorough in going over x-rays, giving exam & talking over problem. Both were very helpful & informative saying if problem persisted to schedule additional appt.
Dr. Salata and his team were excellent in every aspect of my care!
Dr. Salata was very relatable, he understood my problem and didn't dismiss it at all. I did have to wait on him for quite some time out in the waiting area and then again after I got into the exam room.
Dr Salata was very attentive to me and explained everything very clearly.
Excellent care. ***

Dr. Salata did an excellent job treating my shoulder issue.
*** Dr. Salata did an excellent job of explaining the various options for care/treatment. ***
Dr. Salata was extremely kind and compassionate and explained exactly what treatment would be necessary.
Dr. Salata was very nice and respectful. I explained to him why I wanted to see him to get another opinion on my "sitting pain" issue. While he didn't do a physical exam (not sure why), he did order new x-rays and looked at them to see if he had any thoughts on what might be causing my pain. He showed me my x-rays and talked to me about what he saw and then he gave 2 suggested injections and in what order he recommened them.
Very great dr made my son feel comfortable
Dr Salata spent more time with me then I ever could of expected. He was very thorough and I felt like I was talking with a family member who cared!
Dr. Salata has always been great
