Gary D Salomon, MD

Best doctor ever! Explained everything to me in a way that I could understand it, answered all questions I had. Very attentive to my concerns and even though the wait was long he spent a good deal of time we me also… so I can see why he was running late.

Beware! This guy is either imcompetent or on the workers’ comp denial take and not being honest. I’ve had carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms for 10 years — he confirmed this diagnosis 8 years ago — and, in spite of all my worsening symptoms, including pain, stiffness, numbness, etc., which he recently spent zero time asking me about during an «evaluation», he’s now is telling my company I don’t even have carpal tunnel syndrome. What a sad excuse for medical «expertise».

Injured my pinky mountain biking. Nothing too exotic, but needed to get it checked. Waited for about 30 seconds before I was seen. Dr. Salomon was great — gave me heaps of information and options. And recommended against surgery unless it gets worse in the future. A couple of dr. friends recommended him from a surgery perspective as well. And I was back to my desk in a hour — total success.

I’m having the same problem with one of my Worker’s Comp cases. The doctor stated in his report that he spent 60 minutes face to face with my employee. HA!!! I didn’t even get that much face time with my obstetrician having my three kids COMBINED! :-)
His office has been harassing us — 6 calls yesterday and 4 calls today — to get a claim number. They know that’s not how it works. They’re recommending emergency hand surgery for an infected splinter. The staff is pushy and rude. I was on hold for over 20 minutes waiting to talk to the doctor. They alleged going over «risks, benefits and alternatives.» That’s a lie. I’m concerned that this doctor is disingenuous and is milking the workers’ comp system. I don’t feel his best interest is my employee. Stay Away!

I was referred to Dr. Salomon for a worker’s comp issue with my wrist. When you are actually in with the doctor he’s friendly enough and seems to know what he is saying. Communicating with his office, however, has been the worst medical experience of my life.
Dr. Salomon clearly does not communicate what we discuss in our time together with his staff, and as a result i have ended up in numerous phone calls with the staff to try and figure things out. The solution to everything seems to be, ‘why don’t you come in and talk with the doctor about it?” Why can’t i talk to this guy for 2 minutes to remind him of our agreements so i don’t have to??? They treat me as if i’m asking for special treatment when i ask to speak to the doctor directly. I get the feeling that the doctor thinks his time is so valuable that he’s not willing to use it on phone calls for which he doesn’t recieve pay, so he tells his staff to make people come in to talk to him.
If that wasn’t enough, they are always late. I understand being a bit late on average, and things happen from time to time that hold the doctor up, but every time that I’ve been there (which is at least 6 or 7 times at this point) i wait at least 30 minutes, usually more like 45 mins to an hour. That is ridiculous in my book, and shows a serious lack of consideration for the patient’s time.
Anyways, i will never go back once this worker’s comp case is closed, which i hope it is now. i beg you, yes i beg you, not to go to see this doctor just so i feel like this little rant has made some difference in the world.
