I do quite like Dr. Salgado but I presented him with a new symptom and he didnt seem too concerned and attributed to my existing condition. I just found it strange that without any testing you could determine this. I know he has the years of experience but it didnt really sit well with me and I will be seeking other advice. He may be right but I feel I need to double check.

Dr Salgado is EXCELLENT, that is why I go to see him, but the waiting is always about an hour and a half, they let you know when you arrived and that is discouraging...it is too much time.This last time I was lucky because I didn't wait at all since several people ahead of me left or reschedule, but all other times it has been an hour and a half waiting.... I honestly think twice before I get an appointment...something should be done about reducing the waiting time for patients. Now, having said that, I must poit out that once you pass the waiting time, the experience is FANTASTIC...the assistants are great, the nurses are great and Dr Salgado is Great as well.Unlike other doctors, he takes the time to listen to you and what your concerns are, he is a really great doctor
