Patient Experience Reviews
Dr. Salata is excellent. He treats me with respect and is a partner of mine in helping me maintain my active lifestyle

I am very impressed with the amount of time and compassion Dr Salata provided
Very professional; nice; and intelligent
Dr Salata is the best ortho specialist I have ever seen, across two different states and several different hospital systems over the past *** years. He carefully explains everything he's doing and the reasons why, and has shown great concern and empathy for my joint pain. He is the first ortho to validate my problems without ever blaming them on my age, weight, anxiety/mental health condition, or gender. I appreciate his effort to include me in decisions about treatment, without pushing me towards anything too invasive too soon or making me feel guilty for asking for help with my joint problems. I also appreciate how kind all the staff in the office are, and how everyone I spoke to at my appointment made me feel like I was their top priority, as if I was the only patient they had and there was no need to rush through. I would highly recommend this provider, and this entire practice.
Excellent care. Dr Salata is knowledgeable and explains everything thoroughly. And is a very positive person

Dr. Salata and *** were great! Very efficient and plan of care was excellent and agreed upon.
Really positive visit in all ways.
Good experience
Dr. Salata has been a life saver. I have seen many specialists to get help with my pain. He listened and really took in what I had to say. He was able to diagnose a problem I've been struggling with for almost 2 years. Now I'm finally on the road to getting the help I need.
Dr Salata was about wonderful. He spent so much time talking to me about what was going on with me medically making sure that I understood everything he was telling me. He made me feel so comfortable and added humor when I was nervous. I am so happy we were referred to him and am feeling more comfortable and confident with my upcoming surgery
It was a good experience
Highly recommended, and will always recommend.
Care was very good got both shots
It was an amazing experience and I would most definitely recommend Dr. Salata to my family and friends.
Perfect visit and doctor
Dr. Salata was amazing, I would definitely recommend him to my family or friends. I came to get a second opinion about a previous injury and he did a fantastic job with listening to me and also breaking down my x-rays, explaining everything in great detail. I left his office feeling VERY comfort with my decision to have surgery
I was very impressed and pleasantly surprised by how much this provider seemed to care about my health concerns, and took time to explain the findings of the imaging I had done. I felt very validated by the fact that this provider never attempted to dismiss or diminish my pain, and instead, explained several different steps of a treatment plan.***
Dr. Salata is the best, he always takes time& explains everything so I understand. Along with a plan to achieve results. His office staff is great as well
*** the provider actually takes the necessary time to sit with you to explain your condition and treatment options. Best experience I have had with a provider. I appreciated the time he took.
Salata is fantastic. He seemed a little short of patience on this visit but I imagine it was because my case is complex & I had a lot of input. The young lady doctor was amazingly patient with me before Salata came in. Her & the entire staff should recieve 11's. Salata gets a 9+ on this visit. I would trust him to do another hip surgery for me in an instant because he is a top notch doctor.
