Dr. Salvino is very personable and takes the time to make sure all of my questions are answered. He made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process of my surgery. At a recent post-surgical follow-up appointment with my PCP, he was highly complementary of Dr. Salvino's work stating that my results were among the best he has ever seen.

I was extremely pleased with Dr Salvino his knowledge, expertise and communication. My disappointment came on my follow up ~ where I specifically scheduled with him and not the PA, but was not seen by Dr Salvino because he was "running behind". Very disappointed as that was my only opportunity to see him.

Dr. Salvino did a great job and I'm loving the results....received many compliments!! When I had concerns about the level of results I was seeing, about 6 weeks post-surgery, he explained the healing process and assured me the results will improve as time went on, and sure enough it did. If I ever have to do touchups in the future, I'm definitely seeing Dr. Salvino!
