During this difficult time of uncertainty Dr. Salwitz it is there for any questions with full answers all the time.Highly recommend.P. Hornlein

I would put 0 stars if I could. I wasn’t going to post but feel I have a responsibility to others. We were fooled by the 5 star reviews. My father was a patient of Dr. Salwitz. He was treated for stage IV gastroesophageal junction cancer that had metastasized to my his liver, appendix, and peritoneum. My dad was of course terrified going into treatment and completely trusted everything Dr. Salwitz recommended. Right from the beginning my dad was treated like a number, or part of an assembly line. My Dad knew his condition was bad and continuously asked Dr. Salwitz “you will tell me if I am terminal right”. But Dr. Salwitz never gave him a straight answer. The first round of chemo made my dad very sick. My dad was again terrified and in a ton of pain but could not reach anyone at Dr. Salwitz office for help, he sat on hold for almost an hour each time so he eventually landed in the ER. While in hospital, Dr. Salwitz did not come to see him once (my dad ended up being in hospital a total of 3 times) and only the last time did Dr. Salwitz come in to see my dad. At this time my dad was very ill and asked Dr. Salwitz again “ you will tell me if I am going to die right”? To which Dr. Salwitz responded yes I give you two weeks. This was very unfair to my dad who may have chosen a different treatment path had he known as well as us his family who were not prepared when he passed 4 days later. I think Dr. Salwitz behavior is disgusting and would not recommend him to anyone . You cannot get straight answers from him, you cannot get a hold of him when you need him, and his staff are rude. Please go somewhere else, you deserve better! Don’t be fooled by all the 5 star reviews.

Dr. Salwitz is a deeply compassionate and highly intelligent physician! I really appreciated his holistic approach, his warm and humble demeanor, and his attentiveness. He is very accessible and answers all of my questions with patience and graciousness even if I repeat the same question. He never made me feel like my question wasnt important. Im a difficult patient who dislikes medicine and have had negative experiences with health care providers in the past. He earned my trust and respect through his empathetic, reasonable, sound- minded, and supportive nature. When I got diagnosed with I was overwhelmed by the daunting task of choosing my medical team. I knew that the oncologist played an important role in the success of treatment and recovery... Finding Dr. Salwitz was a gift from God. I highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable and generously educates you. Although, he at times, speaks very fast, he does communicate very well and even takes notes for you to take home. Some of his nurses are the most caring, gentle, and sweetest Ive seen in my life. This world needs more compassionate, skilled doctors like him!
