Dr. Salvino is a caring professional. This diagnosis (breast cancer) and two surgeries are new to me. He has always been patient answering all of my questions and explaining things in an understandable way, without talking down to me. I feel he really treats the individual and I appreciate that. Dr. Salvino is a big part of this whole journey I am on and he has truly been a positive influence.

Dr. Salvino is an exceptional doctor. In addition to being a skilled surgeon, he has been wonderful in my post-op follow up visits, which are just about as important. He is kind, caring, respectful, and very patient with all of my questions (and I did have a lot.) He has a way of making you feel like you are his most important patient. His empathy and humor have made a positive impact on my recovery.
