  • Dr. Salik was a joy to work with. As a particularly complex patient, I was relieved he'd read through my records and knew what meds I'd tried, etc. I'd experienced a significant delay in getting to my appointment that day, and was so late that it would have been 100% reasonable to deny seeing me, but he did anyway even though we had less time. It all worked out! Due to him having read so much and his openness in hearing what I already knew what was happening, we still managed to get through everything that mattered and make a decision about a new med. He treated me with respect, spoke to me like he understood I had a high level of understanding, and it was just great! I was so relieved and impressed. He could have declined seeing me, but did so anyway - and without judgement. I don't know that I would have been capable of that. He ordered the right tests, offered the right medication, and offered video visits so I wouldn't have to have increased exposure. I'm thrilled to be his patient! He even has a sense of humor, which always helps.

I'm sure that with only my first visit, he gave me the potential to add many more years to my life. I am very grateful to have him as a treating provider. He's not only knowledgeable, but he's also patient, kind, and willing to share his knowledge.

    2025-11-09

  • The issue that I went to see Dr. Salik for is something I've been dealing with since 2020. Over that time, I've seen multiple specialists, multiple doctors, and I have to say that none of them had provided the level of concern, care, empathy, and understanding that Dr. Salik did. He clearly knew my case, the history. He even went so far as to tell me about how he studied my case over the weekend, which seemingly would be his own time. But then when I was in the office with him, his compassion level was extraordinary and his knowledge equally is extraordinary. And I left there feeling extremely comfortable, which is something that I haven't experienced in the last five years of dealing with this. So it was just amazing. And I'm very hopeful that moving forward, he'll be able to help me with what's going on in my health right now.

    2025-11-09

  • Dr. Salik is very knowledgeable about what i have been going through for 5 years.

    2025-10-06

  • Dr Salik somehow keeps in top of my overall health situation and addresses cardiology issues in context of my overall situation. He's easy to talk to, gives advise from research and also wants to hear all concerns and questions.
