    Treating Doctor:
  • “I had a great experience with Dr. Salim. I had a back injection for a pinched nerve. I was extremely nervous, but Dr. Salim was so friendly. He understood my anxiety and talked to me throughout the whole procedure. We had a pleasant conversation, so my nervousness went away. The process wasn't as painful as I first thought. I am glad I had it done; it seems to be working, and I am walking better already. I am going for a follow-up in a few weeks. I would highly recommend this doctor for his expertise and compassion.”
