I am very pleased with the care I received. Dr. Salgado has a great bedside manner, he listened to my concerns, and talked me through a few things. When the walking cast was not fitting correctly, he got down on a knee and assisted the tech and myself to figure out the correct size and fit. I would definitely see him again as a provider.

He took time to hear my situation and helped me navigate my choices for next steps. I wasn't sure I absolutely needed X-rays but he lmk if I went to specialist they'd do that as a first step anyway. I turned out that the xray spotted a couple of issues so glad he helped me think it through.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
