Overall Rating: 5.0 2025-09-13

Patient verified via Press Ganey

Dr. Salinas does a wonderful job of listening to my concerns and addressing them in a non-judgmental way. He respects my health autonomy rather than forcing his opinion on me and makes tailored and conservative changes to my medications rather than radical changes if something is not working or previously worked, but now does not (e.g. Blood pressure meds).

Overall Rating: 3.0 2025-11-15

Patient verified via Press Ganey

Extremely little time spent with me (maybe 5minutes) and no questions asked to how I was doing, just accompanying me part-way to the lab for blood test and out the door!
