Patient Experience Reviews
First time ever meeting Dr. Salata and I was impressed with his care, compassion, commitment, and knowledge he has for people with my kind of condition. I'm glad to know I'm in good hands.
Dr. Salata and *** were great! Very efficient and plan of care was excellent and agreed upon.
Really positive visit in all ways.
Good experience
Dr. Salata has been a life saver. I have seen many specialists to get help with my pain. He listened and really took in what I had to say. He was able to diagnose a problem I've been struggling with for almost 2 years. Now I'm finally on the road to getting the help I need.
Dr Salata was about wonderful. He spent so much time talking to me about what was going on with me medically making sure that I understood everything he was telling me. He made me feel so comfortable and added humor when I was nervous. I am so happy we were referred to him and am feeling more comfortable and confident with my upcoming surgery
It was a good experience
Highly recommended, and will always recommend.
Care was very good got both shots
It was an amazing experience and I would most definitely recommend Dr. Salata to my family and friends.
Perfect visit and doctor
Dr. Salata was amazing, I would definitely recommend him to my family or friends. I came to get a second opinion about a previous injury and he did a fantastic job with listening to me and also breaking down my x-rays, explaining everything in great detail. I left his office feeling VERY comfort with my decision to have surgery
I was very impressed and pleasantly surprised by how much this provider seemed to care about my health concerns, and took time to explain the findings of the imaging I had done. I felt very validated by the fact that this provider never attempted to dismiss or diminish my pain, and instead, explained several different steps of a treatment plan.***
Dr. Salata is the best, he always takes time& explains everything so I understand. Along with a plan to achieve results. His office staff is great as well
*** the provider actually takes the necessary time to sit with you to explain your condition and treatment options. Best experience I have had with a provider. I appreciated the time he took.
Salata is fantastic. He seemed a little short of patience on this visit but I imagine it was because my case is complex & I had a lot of input. The young lady doctor was amazingly patient with me before Salata came in. Her & the entire staff should recieve 11's. Salata gets a 9+ on this visit. I would trust him to do another hip surgery for me in an instant because he is a top notch doctor.
Dr Salata is someone whom I very much trust with his expertise and advice. I saw him again for pain in my hip and my back - it has been frustrating to find a root cause as to why my back in particular hurts so much - and then for the pain to move to the hip. Dr Salata spent an hour talking with me about MRI findings in my hip and his willingness to perform a diagnostic hip arthroscopy. His thoughts were that a procedure could make things potentially worse vs benefits. It was a conversation I felt I needed to have, as I've been at a loss for trying to get back to my normal exercise routines and even being able to sleep without pain. I feel from my time knowing Dr Salata over 4+ years that he truly cares about my well being and wants me to be in a place where I can live my life on my own terms, albeit with potential constraints (limit running). For as much as I was hoping the hip MRI would be a smoking gun into my pain, Dr Salata has me accepting that my hip is in the best condition it can be in and likely isn't the cause of my pain. I wish it was easier to get with other providers at UH who are as compassionate and as good at what they do as Dr Salata is. Thank you for caring for me.
Dr. Shana Goldstein-Ptahia was amazing! She gave great care and referrals! Grateful to have been randomly scheduled with her! Definitely will return for my yearly
Dr. Salata and his team were very helpful with all of my concerns. All of my options were laid out to me after they listened to my medical history. I would go back to Dr. Salata in a heartbeat for future care.
Very good appointment
Dr Salata was absolutely excellent. He provided me exactly the information and guidance I was hoping for. Cordial, knowledgeable and professional best describe his personality.
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!
