Dr. Saltzman is the best doctor I have worked with in my long life of dealing with doctors.
Dr. Saltzman is an amazing surgeon and also, my freind.
Dr. Saltzman is a wonderful, caring and very talented orthopedic surgeon. I have been going to him for the past 5 years, and there was no one else I wanted to do my ankle replacement surgery. He did an excellent job, and my ankle is so much better. He is very good at listening to his patients, and wants the best outcome possible.
Dr. Saltzman is a great doctor and surgeon, and I feel very fortunate that I got to have him perform my surgery before he retired. I knew I was in good hands from the first visit I had with him. He treated me more like a good friend rather than just a patient, and I really appreciate that. Kudos to Dr. Saltzman on an outstanding career and good luck in your future endeavors.
Dr. Saltzman did a great job of explaining everything he was going to do and what I needed to do after my surgery. He did such a great job of figuring out what to do with my leg and so far I have been able to get back to normal!
Very friendly and personal doctor
Dr. Saltzman is fantastic! He understood the problem and gave a great explanation of the treatment.
Dr. Saltzman is the absolute best. I am so fortunate he decided to work with me. I will be forever in his debt.
A wonderful and caring Dr.
Dr. Saltzman is very knowledgeable, caring, and a down to earth Dr. that cares about his patients.
I was very impressed with the care and time Dr Saltzman took with me in explaining everything. He didn't talk over my head and I felt like he genuinely cared about me and wanted the best outcome for treatment of my right ankle.
A wonderful clinician and a skilled surgeon. Could not have been more pleased with his care

Always a pleasure. Goes far above and beyond to coordinate care. Hands down the most thorough surgeon I've ever endorsed. Thank you for coordinating care and getting other expert reports and opinions.
I feel very confident in my decision to receive treatment and care from Dr. Saltzman and his team at the University of Utah Health.

excellent physician-knowledgeable and compassionate

I have been put at ease by his demeanor and professionalism, and I am totally confident he is going to do great things for me. I feel truly fortunate to be taken in as a possible patient.

Greatest Dr I know!!!
Dr. Saltzman is kind, compassionate and the best listener. He'll answer your questions and make sure you are okay! I couldn't have had a better surgeon!
Professional and caring.
Dr. Saltzman, for being such a highly-touted orthopaedic surgeon, was not all what I expected. He was extremely kind, courteous, funny, and thorough; and he really made me feel secure and well-cared for. His knowledge is top notch, but not once did he talk down to me or speak in a manner that made me feel less than extremely valued and cared about. After one visit, I almost consider Dr. Saltzman a friend as well as my doctor, and that is a rare attribute that he should be lauded for. Thanks to him, I know I will receive the best care possible in every instance.
Dr. Saltzman looked at my major ankle problems with great concern and found a solution that I feel confident about and I am definitely nervous but feel 100% we found the correct Dr. to take this on.
VERY happy with the care Dr. Saltzman has provided!
Dr. Saltzman is a very kind provider. He answers all my questions and helped me make an informed decision about the best treatment plan.
Dr Saltzman is an amazing and talented surgeon. He explains things in ways that are easy to understand and is able to fix problems that everyone else said was impossible and the best course of action would have been amputation. Instead he was able to fix my foot so that I can have a normal life and not have to think about amputation. I am truly thankful and grateful for Dr Saltzmans talent and that he cares about patients in a way that he is willing to take on challenges and make them better.
Dr Saltzman is the best physician I have ever met! He listens to my questions and concerns. He understands my unique situation and asks me questions about how I feel and what I need. Thank you Dr Saltzman!
muy buen dr muy atento
A top rated Surgeon¿ with a personality.
He is so friendly and knowledgable, this is such a complex issue I am having with my ankle and it is great to know we will be following through with all the details.
Outstanding person and doctor. I cant imagine better.
Dr Saltzman is always professional and sensitive.
More information regarding what to expect regarding swelling and pain, how much swelling is atypical/typical? How much discomfort atypical/typical? Range of motion approximations at this state of recovery¿
He and Dr. Cushman and their staff are a 12 not a 10. Don't go anywhere else, you're wasting your time.
I'm very uncomfortable with the thought of more surgery. Dr Saltzman has put my mind at ease with the way he has listened, studied, and involved me in the discussion about what needs to be done to help with my problem.
I would recommend Dr. Saltzman to my family members. He was thorough and professional. He explained things in a manner that I could understand.
Very good doctor. Easy to talk with and easy to understand his responds and recommendations. Provided all the time I wanted regarding my visit and needs. He is an excellent physician. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Saltzman is clearly a skilled surgeon with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Each time that I have been in the clinic, he has introduced me to visiting learner physicians. He took time to thoroughly explain all aspects of my procedure and recovery. I felt reassured that I am safe under Dr. Saltzman's medical care and supervision. I would highly recommend Dr. Saltzman to others.
DR. SALTZMAN IS THE BEST PERSON AND ALSO THE BEST DR. I HAVE EVER KNOWN. HE HAS PERFORMED SIX SURGERIES ON ME OVER 14 YEARS. I TRAVEL 1500 MILES TO COME TO HIM FROM TEXAS....
Wonderful! So nice and Knowledgeable in caring for me
Dr. Saltzman is terrific! He explains in detail, answers all questions, has a good sense of humor, and is confident in what he is doing.
Dr. Saltzman is one of the best, he hears out the patient and builds a rapport with him.
Terrific MD¿.. with a personality
Very knowledgeable and very caring. I feel very confident that he will do a great job on my ankle!
I appreciate Dr. Saltzman's directness , with him supporting what he is explaining/recommending. He keeps my finances/insurance coverage in recommending options. If he disagrees with something I've been told he very diplomatically explains where he is coming from.
Dr. Saltzman explained my issues and my options in a clear and concise manner. He took his time to make sure I understood my options and course of action.
Dr. Saltzman was very honest & frank about the possible results of surgery.
Very knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. I appreciated his honesty and his ability to decide on a treatment plan that will get to the root of my foot problems.
I had heard about Dr Saltzman from an orthopedic surgeon in my state. It was deemed too difficult for any of the surgeons here. Dr. Saltzman explained in detail what could be done. Even though other surgeons said it would take 2 or 3 operations, he will be able to do it in one! This exhibits the amount of expertise he has. He was warm, friendly, and comforting. I will look forward to solving my foot/ankle problem with Dr. Charles Saltzman.
True professional caregiver
I don't need to be anonymous when I acknowledge I'm in the best of care from every angle. Truly I am very fortunate indeed. Thank you!!!!
Dr. Saltzman performed an ankle fusion surgery on my right ankle 4 years ago. The surgery dramatically improved my quality of life and enabled me to maintain my independence without pain. My gratitude is immeasurable. Thank you, Dr. Saltzman and your awesome team at UU Orthopedics.
I was well pleased with Dr Saltzman and his resident
One of the best doctors I have been to

Professional, knowledgeable, and made sure that I understood my situation. Positive visit in every way.
I found Dr Saltzman to be very caring.
I am very grateful for Dr. Saltzman's compassionate review and recommendations for my care!
He listened to what I was saying and informated me on the procedure that he thought I needed and followed up with my husband and daughter informating them on the results of the surgery and my well being.
Dr Saltzman is a great Doctor
I had seen Dr. Saltzman after a extremely bad result from a surgery from another surgeon. It required a very complex surgery to improve the situation left from it. Dr. Saltzman provided options and was provided expectations of results. He was very thorough in investigating my issues to come up with a plan of care and then only did he agree to perform the surgery. I did need to have another small surgery by him because I developed an infection, but he got me in a few days after seeing the pictures of the infection. I am currently going to physical therapy to see if I can further improve the situation.
After 6 failed foot surgeries by my previous doctor, Dr. Saltzman proved other professionals wrong. He completed the impossible. I had doctors from across the United States discuss my case and they were all baffled and had little hope for helping me heal. Dr. Saltzman not only cared, but he got my first foot to heal! Now, only time will tell with the other. What he's accomplished has been far more than I could have ever asked for.
Dr Saltzman is both a skilled surgeon and a great communicator. He explains the procedure well and takes time with his patients. His medical team is also exceptional.
Dr. Saltzman and his team are uniquely OUTSTANDING!
Awesome experience. Explained everything fully and went above & beyond. Was only in UT for a short amount of time but Dr Saltzman made sure to get me the testing that I need so he could guide me in the best surgical option.
Excellent doctor! Caring and listens to what I was explaining.
Dr Saltzman is exceptional! He includes me in the conversation and planning. He listens, explains and is reassuring of all my concerns.
Very thorough!
Dr Saltzman is highly skilled and very caring. He has gone the extra effort above and beyond to provide me with my needed medical care that other providers do not from my past experiences. It would be almost impossible to find a surgeon that has more experience and his surgical expertise. I find myself so very grateful to have Dr Saltzman as a provider in Utah and at the UofU Orthopedic Center.
Excellent physician
Dr Saltzman is extremely personable and cares about his patience. He takes the time to explain treatment options in a way that is easy to understand and he is eager to help find a solution to your problem.
He was personal and understanding to my unique needs. He went over options and recommended further testing to make sure the best decision could be made. I felt cared about personally. It is reassuring to know I have access to real help in making a hard decision for my health.
I feel so fortunate to have been a patient of his.His skills as a orthopedic doctor are great. I felt I was in good hands through out my care.
I have always felt special when I go to see him and his staff. They always remember me and my problems. and are very friendly, and concerned. I Trust Dr. Saltzman and his staff.
He's great! Just recommended him to a friend today who is also experiencing foot problems.
I had heard all good things about him. He is so knowledgeable and made me feel at ease with a big surgery decision
We were very impressed with our visit with Doctor Saltzman. He was very knowledgable, kind and funny and raised our hopes higher than we were expecting coming into it. We are very excited and positive that Saltzman can improve my quality of life and we are happy we made the decision now to see him!
Was seen my his fellow. Doctor came in the confirm his findings. He was personable & helpful.
Dr. Saltzman was great. He really listened to my concerns and paid attention to my needs. You really have to be your own medical advocate, the doctors won't do it for you. But when I did advocate for myself he listened and added a procedure to my operation to take care of a secondary pain I am having that they can now manage at the same surgery.
I have always appreciated his professionalism.
Dr. Saltzman clearly saw me as a person and not a collection of symptoms and parts. We were able to discuss some possibilities, and he answered my questions whether they were typical or more academic. When we disagreed about a course of action, he listened to me as I explained my reasons. He then agreed that my request made sense, rather than making a blanket assumption that he knew my body's needs better than I did.
He is absolutely top of his field, plus, his personal caring manner and interest in me as an individual are obvious. He's simply the best in his field and specialty. I feel lucky to have found him.
He listened to my concerns and answered my questions and explained ex-rays so I would know what was going on.
Dr. Saltzman was amazing in the level of care he exhibited as well as in the care and detail with which I have been eased back into full operation of my foot. I have heard from an outside doctor that he is considered the best of all foot doctors in Utah, if not the western United States.
Good listener, didn't feel like cookbook medicine, offered alternate treatment plans
Everything was great! The only thing I m a little upset about is the scheduling of my surgery. I need major surgery and I'm in a great deal of pain. I don't know if I can wait until December. That said it's not Dr Saltzmans fault
He was very professional and concerned about my pain. I think he has me on road to much less pain.
Very knowledgeable and helpful
I feel Dr. Saltzman is extremely knowledgeable and experienced due to his years of practice and involvement in the foot and ankle "industry." He had no agenda to get me to seek further visits but was genuinely interested in helping me decide the best solution for my condition no matter who provided for me.
Very down to earth knowledgeable man. Thank you for your dedicated services
He was very thorough and put me at ease. He has a wonderful bedside manner and truly cares about giving me the best care possible.
He was very courteous and explained in detail the treatment I need. He impressed me with his knowledge concerning my injury.
I feel very fortunate that I had Dr Saltzman do my total ankle replacement / reconstruction. He is a very gifted surgeon. I would absolutely refer Dr. saltzman to anyone with foot and ankle issues.
Dr Saltzman is always clear, direct, and focused; all while exhibiting great care and bedside manner; Im so blessed to have had him as my surgeon, many, many thanks!!
He cares and takes pride in what he does. I connected with him immediately. Much more professional than the doctors at Tosh. No comparison
Dr Saltzman was caring enough to try to fix an ongoing problem.
I am thankful to have him as my ankle surgeon.
Dr Saltzman inspires confidence in my knowing I am receiving the best care. His experience is obvious, his caring about me individually is obvious, I am fully confident with him that I will have the best care and outcome.
Dr. Saltzman took an ample amount of time to diagnose my future surgery. I appreciate his effort and attention
A true professional, always makes sure that you understand the treatment/procedure your going to have. I will NOT see anyone else.
I feel like Im being seen by a professional that has put heart and soul into his talent
Doctor Saltzman has been great to deal with. He ensures I understand the treatment he is recommending or has completed and takes the time to listen to my questions and provide detailed explanations. He has taken the time to go through the imaging results and explain both the issues and how the treatment corrected those problems. I feel that the quality of care Ive received from doctor Saltzman and his team has been exceptional.
Dr Saltzman is very knowledgeable and caring. He listens to what I have to say and is never rushed. I have referred many people to him. I have never had a negative experience.
Dr Saltzman is an excellent caregiver and makes you feel comfortable and confident that you are in the best hands. I am so grateful for his skill and care, kudos!
Very good
The doc rocks!! He was great, straight to the point and he listened.. I'm super pleased with everything he's done for me..
Amazing doctor im terms of knowledge, eddies manner and personality.
I was very comfortable with Dr Saltzman, he explained in detail the procedure he would do answered all my questions.
Doctor Saltzman seems to care. He.wants to make sure I can walk comfortably gain.
He is the good doctor.
he is very knowledgeable, caring, remembers me and my problems, and he is very good at what he and his staff do. I will always come to DR. Saltzman, I trust him.
Dr Saltzman is friendly, knowledgeable in his field, actually listens to me and always makes me feel like I'm important to him as a patient.
Dr. Saltzman is very knowledgeable and has great bedside manner. He was very kind and made me feel comfortable during my appointment.
My foot surgery has involved a long recovery. I appreciate Dr. Saltzman's care and concern every step of the way. It was his expertise that has made the difference in a successful outcome.
DR. Saltzman is a very caring professional besides being the best surgeon I have know and I have known a lot. He operated on my deformed foot and replaced my ankle. I can now walk with very little pain, compared to before when I had unbearable pain when I walked. I went to two other other surgeons before who just wanted to fuse my ankle, which would have been a nightmare because it would not have fixed the problems. DR. Saltzman spend the effort to research a way to fix my 50 year old problem. I definitely would recommend him to other patients who have foot and ankle problems.
Brilliant, caring, respectful, cautious, honest, funny, personable, great team player, not hasty.
Dr. Salzman keep up the good work you are amazing. I am so happy with every bit of my care and the concern that you show for me as a person it really shines through and all the work you do thank you from the bottom of my heart.
He saw me as a person and not just a patient. He was very personable and kind. He explained possible procedure quite well and I trusted him due to his confidence. I feel quite blessed to have found him and look forward to a great outcome should we both decide to go forward with surgery.
Dr. Saltzman is the best in his care for patients and doing surgery.
A great physician!
Very though, and related it back to me.
He was very thorough in the review of my case. He tried to answer all my questions. He wasnt trying to convince me to have a surgery. He actually referred me to another surgeon in case i wanted another opinion.
I am so happy with my care and want to thank him for that
He seemed very informed and listened to our worries hopefully he will follow threw in helping us get into neurologist so maybe our family can get to the end of this nightmare
In Dec 2022, I requested a second opinion about my injury (sustained on [DATE REMOVED] and was assigned to Dr. Saltzman who agreed to look more deeply into my case and scheduled a CT scan right away. Because of the CT results he was able to diagnose a non-union fracture and put me in touch with a pharmaceutical rep for Exogen, a medical device that helps heal non-union fractures. I've been using it for 40 days and the most recent xray [DATE REMOVED] shows that it seems to be helping the fractured 5th metatarsal in my foot heal and hopefully avoid surgery.
Please see my previous comments at the beginning of the survey. The only criticism I have is that ranking Dr Saltzman in the survey as Very Good doesnt come close to describing the excellence of his care!
He's great.. respectful.. hands on type of doctor and I admire that!!
Excellent advice and treatment for injury. Dr Saltzman was very attentive and advised me what to expect as the bone heals. This is so helpful to prevent yet another recurrence.
Dr Saltzman is one of the very few doctors left out there who truly show the highest level of interest in their patients, not rushing through the process, genuinely caring and professionally advising. I'm very fortunate to have him as my doctor and very grateful for his service.
he is very competent in fulfilling all expectations
He is the good doctor.
Very impressed with bedside manner. Very knowledgeable and proficient.
Dr Saltzman is a wonderful physician. Kind caring and compassionate. I also enjoy his sense of humor. He has helped me to literally get back on my feet. Especially my left one. He also encourages me to continue to move forward with other aspects of my health care. Hopefully I wont need any further surgeries on my feet but he would be the one Id ask to do any other surger on my feet or ankles.
He is personable, listens, and is good at explaining the care provided and the course of treatment. He also is helpful in managing expectations on outcomes.
He is a genuine and caring person. I'd recommend him to others . Great personality
He cares a patient and try to understand. He asked me whether I liked to see x-rays or not. I said yes. He explained me what problem was. At Injure clinic, I was told that I had 3 broken ankle bones, but I did not see x-rays.
Dr. Saltzman did not make me feel hurried. He was thorough and patient. He explained all my future options. He even went out of his way to recommend a surgeon for my wife's needs even though the appointment was for me. I have been very impressed with Dr. Saltzman's professionalism and caring demeanor. I would recommend him to anyone. The staff also have always treated me with the utmost professional care.
Dr Charles Saltzman is perfect for me. I prefer never to have surgery. He has gave me excellent advise throughout this injury. Followup was great and I am happy with the progress. I really appreciate his personality, he is professional and fun to talk too.
Very competent and accommodating.
I have been blessed all my life with 1st rate physicians. Dr Saltzman is the best of them!
He not only provides great care, he offers great advice when I ask for it.

Please refer to my original comments. Dr. Saltzman was fantastic.
He has been kind, knowledgeable and worked very hard to give me wonderful care
Charles Saltzman and his team did excellent surgery on my ankle and everything he told me to expect (before and after the surgery) occurred as he said it would. My ankle is essentially healed in less than 3 1/2 months from the date of surgery.
I've met doctor Saltzman for the first time. He was very highly recommended. In this quick session doctor Saltzman never seamed to be in a hurry. His approach is very warm and caring. This really helps especially when you are in a lot of pain.
Have received excellent care.
Dr Saltzman from the moment we met I felt very confident that he knew what he was talking about unlike most Drs I saw before him. I came all the way from San Diego because I was told he was one the best surgeons for what I needed done and he proved them right.
Dr. Saltzman is an awesome surgeon and he has a great team. They take the time and answer all the questions and are very informative.
Doctor Saltzman has been compassionate, courtesy, and respectful. I have confidence in his ability to get my foot/ankle pain free and fully functioning again.
Dr. Saltzman listens and is accommodating to my desire when appropriate, and he says why not if not best for me
Absolutely the best!
Each time I visited Dr Saltzman he took the time to sit with me and explain my diagnoses and care. He listened to my concerns and explained my diagnosis. Because of this I can make knowledgeable decisions concerning by care and activity level going forward.
Dr. Saltzman continues to provide post op care for me several years down the road with professionalism, compassion and humor.
Very good to get along with and Very professional
It has been a very long time since I have felt genuine care for the daily pain I had to endure. I sought Dr. Saltzman out because he is the best in his field. He treats with kindness and a great deal of thought goes into his specific treatment he plans for you as a patient. He takes the time to speak to you and explain why he thinks what he is purposing is the best course of action.
He always takes the time to see how I'm doing overall. Not just the issue at hand
Communicates well, considerate, excellent results from surgery confident in him.
Dr Saltzman and his team are incredible.
Dr. Saltzman is excellent, even though I will have to wait a couple months longer than I had hoped for surgery on my other foot. He explained how my right foot had to completely heal before the left foot could be operated on.
Saltman was thorough, informative, and explained why my feet were in the condition they were in.
Options for treatment will be discussed in 6 months after further evaluation
Dr Saltzman is one of the best medical professionals I've encountered in a very long time. Very attentive and amazing in his work.
We even share a few laughs when I am there.
Dr Saltzman is the best
I'm so happy with my result from surgery. Dr Saltzman was the best, great sense of humor, answered ally questions. So thankful I found him. Ryan was great to work with as well.
This doctor was recommended to me and I would surely recommend him to others.
Dr. Saltzman, his assistant Ryan, and his entire team displayed the utmost compassion and professionalism throughout my treatment (surgery) and recovery from a badly broken ankle.
Dr had great bedside manner
Dr. Saltzman seems to be a rare breed of doctor compared to all my years of orthopedic are elsewhere. He listens to my questions, provides informative answers, and is so compassionate and friendly in doing so, plus he has a great sense of humor. I feel so very fortunate to have ended up in his care and cannot imagine there is anyone more skilled in performing the planned surgery.
Confident outcome of visit.
Dr Saltzman spent time in reading my records and listening to my issues. He called in Dr Kazmers for his opinion on the pain in my foot and worked together finding options which were clearly explained. I was then sent to outpatient to see if a nerve block would help diagnose a solution. Both doctors came downstairs to follow up with me person. I mentioned to the resident I have never had such an attentive doctor visit with going above and beyond to find a solution. It reminded me of what I had heard about visits to the Mayo Clinic, working to make it the least difficult for the patient and finding answers without making you come back 6 different times. I was surprised when I read in Dr Saltzman's vitae that he had done a fellowship at the Mayo Clinic! It certainly showed!! I hope the U knows they have such dedicated doctors and show appreciation.
Dr Saltzman is the best
It went fast. Maybe too fast. ?? I guess I was expecting more about future expectations concerning my recovery
Everyone from the receptionist to the doctor, PA and X-ray technicians was very attentive to me and my questions. I was very impressed with everyone.
Dr. Saltzman is attentive, kind and caring. He treats patients as individuals and listens carefully to concerns. He is very good at explaining the exact cause of the problem and all options. Some of the explanations are for the benefit of the resident accompanying Dr. Saltzman, but as a patient, I appreciate seeing the x-rays and hearing the anatomical descriptions, too.
The construction and logistics are very very horrible.
Smooth and easy
Dr. Saltzman has always been amazing. I haven't worked with Ryan before but he was also great.
Dr. Saltzman was amazing, this was probably the most organized and informative of any of my past medical appointments. Dr. Saltzman listened carefully, explained everything invgreat detail and in a manner I could easily understand. He was gentle and compassionate, too. I feel so lucky to have had such an appointment with this distinguished doctor.
Have already recommended this provider to a family member who is receiving care.
Dr Saltzman was excellent. I also was seen by Dr Fellows. Also Derek was very attentive. Thanks to all
Dr. Saltzman is an awesome foot surgeon. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing foot surgery.
Experience to help with decisions.
Dr. Saltzman and all the members of his team, including the residents and the anesthesiologist, were great.
Doctor could have a better bedside manner, truly listen and take time with the patients. Not making us feel rushed out. Outside of that he is a good doctor and knows his trade/skills.
Dr. Saltzman is everything an excellent doctor should be
Dr. Saltzman and his team are the best I have ever encountered.
I have no complaints. Everyone is efficient and Dr. Saltzman is the best.
I had no doubt that I was being evaluated by a competent and experienced specialist. In addition to the competence, I also really appreciated the empathy.
Incredibly good experience, for having to have such a bad one.
Will need to understand if physical therapy is necessary and if so when and how treatments
I appreciate Dr. Saltzman's candor and knowledge.
Have already referred 2 others to Dr Saltzman.
Good experience

Dr Saltzman was out standing and his resident too. He really listened and understood my physical problems and limitations.

Dr Salzman, the PA, MAs, filbotamist (sp?) and xray techs were all very good about explaining what they were doing and gave easliy understandable explainations of pros+ cons and risks about my options
Had a very detailed conversation at my situation. It made it easy to decide what came next.

Good
DR Saltzman is the best doc every! His entire team are amazing.
Outstanding physician at every level
Dr. Saltzman is professional, demonstrably caring, NEVER rushed, personable.
I came from Ohio to see Dr Saltzman and it was worth it!!
The best medical follow up I've experienced.
Dr. Saltzman clearly is a wonderful person and his very kind and caring nature was very evident. Dr. Saltzman very patiently listened and I felt he responded to my concerns very carefully and thoughtfully. I would recommend him wholeheartedly. Dr. Saltzman is a first class gentleman and very professional. The Utah Orthopedic Department is very fortunate to have him as their Director. In addition, Ryan Dix, Dr. Saltzman's assistant, was very helpful and supportive.
Dr Saltzman is wonderful and understands the balance of treating childhood conditions at the appropriate time, and letting kids be kids.
All good!
Outstanding. Left appointment fully comfortable with follow up
Dr Saltzman is the best.
Good discussion regarding issue
Dr. Saltzman is a skilled physician and a kind and caring individual. I appreciate his honesty and candor about the long-term healing of my foot/ankle. He helped manage my expectations and was honest in admitting he didn't know the answers to some of my questions.
Dr Saltzman is a excellent, caring doctor.
He was honest about not knowing cause of symptoms. I appreciated that.
Dr. Salzman is outstanding.
Dr Saltzman was up to date on my status and ready to help me move on -- had X-Rays from local provider in Montana and had reviewed them. Great experience.
Dr. Saltzman has been is great all around in dealing with my feet problems and surgeries.
best in the U S.
I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Saltzman and his entire team

Dr. Saltzman is the most amazing doctor. His concern and attention to details is superior.
good
Both Dr. Saltzman and Ryan Dix provided both my wife and I full explanations of the procedure, outcomes and help for recovery period. Both of us went into my surgery very confident we were fully informed.
Dr. Saltzman and Naomi Laird are very professional and experienced, leading to my confidence in their advice and decisions regarding my care and recovery.
Dr. Saltzman and PA/C Laird gave a very understandable diagnosis and prognosis.
Dr Salzman is an amazing doctor!
All questions answered and I was given plenty of time to review my notes and ask questions and follow-ups.
the last two visits have seemed very rushed. I know they're in a hurry but rushing to take out stitches isn't as fun as it sounds.
Dr Saltzman is great.
Dr salt man is the best doctor around
he knew the problems and options. if he didn't have enough information he said so and didn't guess.
it was not totally clear to me who would be doing the surgical should my cardiac work up allow it e.g. Dr. Saltzman or Dr. Rogers. it was also not clear what the prognosis would be for improvement of pain in the left foot after surgery would be done.
best experience I have had over 30 years with same problem
Dr. Saltzman is wonderful!! I just don't like to wait for over an hour to see him. My time is important too.
First visit , look forward to personal interaction
Very impressed with Dr. Saltzman
The doctor explained the procedure with pictures and a model and also possible follow up procedures and their possible risks. He showed us post surgery the pictures and healing status.
Dr. Saltzman is the best in all areas: competence/skill, communication, compassion, availability, etc, etc.
Dr.Saltzman explains the procedure in a way that's understandable. He takes the time to explain how he will fix the problem. He is very reassuring.
he is the only doctor who took time to fix my foot the doctor s up in ogden all they wanted to do is put an insist in my shoe thank you Dr salt man very much
Dr. Salzman was very thorough and personable.
The treatment plan was cut short because the physician wanted a CT of my ankle but insurance wouldn't approve the same day. As a result, it will be three weeks before I can get with Dr Saltzman again to determine a treatment plan.
super care
Dr. Saltzman was very good about helping me make the right choice about surgery. They helped me get medicaid for this surgery I otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford, and needed quite badly. I was even given a walking boot that I would've been in trouble without.
Dr. Saltzman plain and simple the best. Naomi is awesome as well
Dr. Saltzman is excellent.
very good experience.
He spent all the time I needed discussing my condition; I did not feel rushed.
I cannot thank Dr. Saltzman enough for his understanding and consideration. As I live in a different time-zone, I ended up being almost an hour late for the appointment and he still found the time to talk to me and cover anything that needed to be covered.
kind compassionate patient centered informative
Dr. Saltzman was fantastic.
I'm very impressed with the clinic and will continue to recommend.
excellant
Dr. Saltzman was not alone and seemed more in the teaching mode. I was disheartened as i had questions. It was by this I met the Athletic Trainer Mr. Drix. (I believe I have his name right.) Sorry if incorrect. He showed me some techniques to help me gain more mobility and movement. I spoke with him prior, and was so impressed by his knowledge and giving me hope with my ongoing recovery.
Good
I've already been recommending Dr. Saltzman to everybody who asks (and has foot/ankle issue). An absolutely wonderful doctor, surgeon and a caring human being. Could not be better.
Dr. Saltzman and his team and Dr. Certain were excellent!
EXCELLENT!
Everyone was excellent. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Abetx (sp?) listened to my problem in the previous surgery with tape on thin skin causing bruising and used a tie of some sort instead. All my providers, including Dr.Saltzman, were excellent.
Dr. Saltzman's care is a well-tuned balance between attentive, respectful bedside manners and extraordinary clinical experience and knowledge.
very good
all great
Dr Saltzman is the perfect surgeon
I came to the appointment with several questions and each question was answered completely. Dr. Saltzman took all the time needed and reassured me that my condition was at a very good point. I left knowing I was in good hands with a knowledgeable professional.
I had a great experience. The Zoom visit was personable and easy. I like this way of meeting with a doctor or staff.
Excellent experience.
Doctor Saltzman carries pleasant bed side manner. He's cheerful and kind and I felt comfortable with him as my first visit turn out valuable and pleasant
very good
Dr. Saltzman has amazing patient skills.
