I can not speak highly enough about Dr. Saluan! He performs a surgery on my daughters knee which required a cadaver cartilage, he performed surgery on my sons shoulder (torn labrum). I live 4 hours away so I asked him about my knee while at my sons appointment and he got me in that day! He is very professional, sincere and listens amd remembers what you tell him! He treats you like your family! He is definitely a God sent Blessing to our family! His entire staff is the same way. Always extremely nice and pleasant and helpful! They go above and beyond! We 100% trust Dr. Saluan!
