Patient Comments
Dr. Salim is very caring, thorough in explaining, and patient. I wish she would speak more loudly as it's often difficult to hear her. [...]

I felt seen and this doctor heard me. She is calm and thinks about what I was telling her, she did NOT give me an automatic answer, she thought about what I was telling her and was considering what I had to say.

She was quite good. I say that because she knew my problems and was easy to understand. She gave me a referral to a another provider which was acceptable. Her time with me displayed no rush and was excellent with me.

Dr. Salim thoroughly explained the results of my MRI in terms I could understand. She is patient and takes the time to answer questions.

Dr. Salim is extraordinary. Knowledgeable without being arrogant, and has a very transparent process. Speaks right at the level I need, and highly considerate. She's by far my favorite physician.

I drive 1.5 hours each way to see Dr. Salim for care of my aging and sports-injured knees. She listens carefully, examines carefully, explains coherently, discusses options, takes notes. She is cordial, personable, calm and efficient, focused on our visit, never appearing rushed amid the challenges of a busy practice with fluctuating patient needs and circumstances. I rely on Dr. Salim to help me keep my original knees working dependably for life.

Dr Sara Salim is an EXCELLENT doctor.
Aug 19, 2022
Dr. Salim spent over 30 minutes going over my MRI results. She let me start with my questions (which I had many) and she answered each in detail. She then went over what she felt were the most important findings on my MRI. Together we made the decision of the next steps forward. She always makes me feel part of the decision and respects my concerns. Dr. Salim always believes and understand my pain. In both in-person and on the phone, Dr. Salim always answers all of my questions and never makes me feel rushed. She is an example of what a great doctor should be and unfortunately there are not many around like her.
Jul 22, 2022
Dr Salim is the first doctor I've had that really understands my (rare-ish) condition, and one of the few doctors I've found helpful in any way. She's thoughtful, courteous, respectful, and highly knowledgeable without arrogance. I wish she were an option 20 years ago.

[...] she was fine.
Jun 02, 2022
Dr. Salim spent a lot of time with me trying to unravel what is happening with my health.
May 22, 2022
[...] I'm happy with Dr. Salim.
Apr 10, 2022
Dr. Salim Is terrific. So easy to feel I'm on a wavelength with her. She listens, asks, palpates, explains, offers options, compares them, partners In decision-making. She even demonstrated potential knock-on gait and hip effects from impaired leg swing due to knee pain/stiffness. She's the reason I drive two hours to Rochester for knee maintenance, versus a half-hour to Syracuse. I'd recommend her without hesitation.
