Richard G. Saleeby Jr., MD

We arrived to the apt. early, and we had all our paperwork filled out before arriving, thanks to the website that provided all the needed pdf files to allow me to have all that ready. I was taken back to meet the doctor by a friendly, cordial nurse, and I was pleased that I was even taken back early. I met with Dr. Wessell in a conference room to discuss health history and the reason for my visit. He was both friendly and professional. He took his time understanding the issue and then invited me to the exam room to have an assessment with assistance of the nurse. He completed a through exam, while being calm and helpful to make the assessment go as easily as possible for me, helping to make the exam as relaxed as possible. He gave an easy to understand explanation of what was happening and how to best treat the difficulty. While I had some concerns that I might be overdue for a colonoscopy he explained that I was actually not due for one for another several years, which impressed me, as I know some Dr’s are eager to order all the tests that one is willing to take (and more). So I appreciated his honesty and looking out for my overall good. This appointment went incredibly smoothly and I was finished and checked out almost before my arranged time! Now, I know that this can’t always be the case, as schedules are different each day with different patients, but it was good to see that when timing allowed for a quick get in-​get seen-​get out appointment that the staff were ready to do just that. I was very impressed with the staff and their friendly and professional attitudes, from the office greeting to the doctor/​surgeon himself they were all excellent. We are very pleased to rate this office 5 stars!

Too many doctors that work in insurance networks are only good for one thing — writing prescriptions. Dr. Saleeby was not concerned with why I had or hemorrhoids nor did he suggest how I could change my diet to PREVEN hemorrhoids — none of this was discussed… he just gave me medication. Saleeby’s staff was pleasant. But his entire practice is set up as an in-​and-​out — you know the kind of doctor’s office I’m referring to — they get patients in and out in under 20 to 25 minutes. No discussion, just «hi», «here’s your medication,» and «bye». This was my first visit to his practive and Dr. Saleeby offered no advice or regimine to help properly regulate my bowels While I understand that Saleeby is not a gastroenterologist or nutritionist, doctors should understand that no organ is isolated from another — they are all connected and all depend on one another to keep the body working properly. However, all Dr. Saleeby did was TREAT my hemorrhoids. Folks — you are the only person that can look out for you and keep you well. These doctors do what they do to simply make a living. No more than that. It’s rare to find a doctor that is totally invested in your well being and will go the length to ensure that your body is operating properly. Save yourself the time and money NOW and continue to eat right and pay attention to your body’s signals so that you do NOT have to depend on a doctor for your well-​being. Because they will fail you. The only person that can best take care you, is YOU!
