UofU Patient May 06, 2013
The doctor, the PA and the woman he had come in too were all great. Very nice and easy to talk to.
UofU Patient May 06, 2013I feel that Dr Saltzman has lost interest in my problem. He spoke more to the resident following him around than he did to me. While I have confidence in his ability as a doctor, I am very dissatisfied with the way I have been left out of the loop.
UofU Patient April 22, 2013I had surgery 6 weeks prior to visit and still am not sure of the extent of work that was done. Dr. was in the room approx 5 minutes.
UofU Patient April 22, 2013Dr. Saltzman and his PA (I can't remember her name) were both very friendly and professional. They gave me the information I needed and we proceeded from there.
UofU Patient April 15, 2013I came to see Dr. Saltzman because I was hoping to have a total ankle replacement. I had thought that if I was not a candidate for replacement but could only have an ankle fusion, I would have it done locally(we live in Wyoming). After consulting with Dr. Saltzman, my chances for a replacement are slim, yet I have such confidence in the doctor that I will be having the fusion done by him.
UofU Patient April 08, 2013GREAT JOB!!!!!!
UofU Patient March 18, 2013Perhaps a fuller picture of post op care could have been offered. the packet of information sent by mail however explained things well.
UofU Patient March 11, 2013Dr. Saltzman is the BEST!!
UofU Patient March 03, 2013My ankle still hurts my knee still hurst
UofU Patient February 18, 2013wish that the communocation between the PA and MD was more efficient that my wait time could have been shortened. dr saltzman showed genuine concern and care about my feeling which meant alot to me.
UofU Patient February 12, 2013Saltzman. On a 1 to 10 scale, he's 15.
UofU Patient February 04, 2013Good
UofU Patient January 28, 2013Dr. Saltzman and Naomi are the best! I have already been recommending them to people. I am very pleased with the outcome of my foot surgery. THANK YOU!
UofU Patient January 28, 2013Dr. Saltzman is superb. He somehow despite his many patients, students, responsibilities, brings warmth and friendship to his patients, a sense that if they are happy, he is happy.
UofU Patient January 24, 2013Dr. Saltzman, as always is an excellent clinician and teacher. I always refer anyone who asks me (I am a physician) about serious foot/ankle problems or for a second opinion to him.
UofU Patient December 24, 2012Dr. Salzman is "off the charts," absolutely goes above and beyond to inform, care and assist, awesome!
UofU Patient December 19, 2012Information about returning to work was very confusing. I thought I'd be going back Monday, after surgery realized I would not be working for 2 weeks.
UofU Patient December 10, 2012We have been dealing with an infection after surgery, and the care I received has been excellent. I always appreciate the doctors' opinions about the progress made each time I visit.
UofU Patient November 19, 2012Really enjoyed the teaching experience with the fellows; it gave me an opportunity to understand exaactly what was going on with my feet
UofU Patient November 14, 2012Dr. Saltzman is very good at making me understand the complexity of my condition, and willing to consider options other might not. I am very grateful for that.
UofU Patient October 29, 2012You come to the University Orthopedic Center to receive the best possible care.
UofU Patient October 23, 2012Very good.
UofU Patient October 15, 2012Doctor was caring and concerned.
UofU Patient October 15, 2012dr saltzman listened to my questions and spent time with me.
UofU Patient October 15, 2012Dr. Saltzman always explains things in a manner which I can understand and remember. He is very personable and I would highly recommend him.
UofU Patient October 08, 2012I was not sure if Dr. Saltzman would see me due to a negative experience with a colleague. However, this contact was positive.
UofU Patient September 09, 2012Good experience
UofU Patient September 07, 2012Dr Saltzman was very friendly and explained what the exrays showed and what was wrong with my ankle, in a way that I understood. I was very pleased with the kindness and concern the Dr. showed.
UofU Patient September 03, 2012I could not have asked for a more thorough and caring experience at the clinic. Everyone was great!
UofU Patient September 03, 2012I am frustrated with the way the doctor doesn't talk to me...his excuse is "this is a teaching institution." So I ask: without patients what are you going to teach your students? The PA does quite a bit better but is often so rushed I feel like I'm limited on the amount of time I can take. I have great confidence in the drs abilities but very frustrated with his attitude toward patients.
UofU Patient August 20, 2012I'm very confident in Dr. Saltzman's ability to get me through this problem.
UofU Patient August 07, 2012Dr. Saltzman is great!
UofU Patient August 06, 2012I wish there was some award I could nominate Dr. Saltzman for that he has not already received! He is an excellent physician and teacher. I have referred anyone who asks me for a referral for foot/ankle pathology to Dr. Saltzman/University of Utah and that the trip is worth it. Dr. Saltzman is a brilliant, conservative orthopedic surgeon with cutting edge clinical skills coupled with the rare talent of also being an excellent teacher and role model for medical students, residents and fellows.
UofU Patient June 29, 2012Dr Saltzman was very kind and caring. I am impressed with his compassion and understanding concerning my issues. Although, what he told me was not what I wanted to hear, I felt he was very warm and compassionate. I really appreciate Dr Saltzman and his professionalism. Thank you.
UofU Patient June 29, 2012I was very glad that scientific findings influence the decision-making of my physician. He provided a copy of a recent RCT (in which he was lead author) and based his recommendation and discussion on its findings, which suggested that surgery might not necessarily be better than no surgery. This increased my confidence in his judgment and practice.
UofU Patient June 14, 2012Very good experience
UofU Patient June 11, 2012Dr. Saltzman is amazing. I've never been treated so well. The staff, including medical assistants, does not speak down to people, or use a lot of industry jargin that makes people feel uncomfortable. They truly understand how to treat people with courtesy, dignity, and respect.
UofU Patient June 05, 2012I'm so grateful to have Dr. Saltman taking care of me.
UofU Patient June 04, 2012Great skills could be friendlier
UofU Patient April 28, 2012Overall I had an amazing experience at the clinic. I felt very taken care of and that there was thought and consideration to my injury.
UofU Patient April 26, 2012I think Dr Saltzman is the best!! He takes the time needed to explain things so I can understand and answers any questions I might have. He let's me know he is availabe any time I have a concern which make me feel better because I know how very busy he is. Very sweet man!!!
UofU Patient April 06, 2012I ENJOY COMING TO THIS CLINIC. I HAVE RECIEVED GREAT INFORMATION CONCERNING MY PARTICULAR CHALLENGES AND FEEL I AM RECEIVING THE CARE I NEED.
UofU Patient March 08, 2012thorough , greast overveiw
UofU Patient February 16, 2012Excellent appointment
UofU Patient February 16, 2012As mentioned before, after the long wait, doctor spent less than 5 minutes with me. My sense is that he was too busy to spend any time discussing my concerns.
UofU Patient February 16, 2012I was very glad I came to Utah for this concern.
UofU Patient January 12, 2012Doctor Saltzman and his assistants were great; very thorough; very thoughtful; very insightful, and helpful.
UofU Patient January 12, 2012The amount of time spent with the doctor and the PA were close to equal, with a bit more time spent with the PA. The PA seemed would score "Good" or "Very Good" for the questions on this page while the doctor would score "Fair" to "Very Good"
UofU Patient January 05, 2012Dr Saltzman took the time to explain everything to me as we were going along in the appointment and made sure I understood what he was explaining. He was very thorough and did not seem rushed even though he had a full clinic which I appreciated.
