I had a detailed visit and assessment with the NP. Then, the doctor joined us. I felt heard by both, and they explained the details of my diagnosis and presented me with two options. I was a bit overwhelmed at the moment by all the information and wished that I'd thought to ask about an intermediary option; I also wished one had been presented. But I will follow-up via MyChart as I was encouraged to do if I needed more information and when I decided what I wanted to do.

Dr Salvant is the best! He's done 5 surgeries for me and they were successful. He told me everything he was going to do and what was going to happen. I would recommend him to everybody!

He explained everything to me in detail. He asked how I felt, any new symptoms, what I was looking at on the MRI, surgery pros/cons, among many other things. I'm very pleased with Dr. Salvant and his staff

My experience leading up to Dr Salvant set the stage to be ready to hear what he had to say due to his Practitioner. She ask me a lot of necessary and important questions and allowed me to share my answers the best my ability. She was very Patient. Dr Salvant intro was very nice and ready to be as informative as possible and had a very detailed explanation to what Issues and why my body was experiencing the symptoms I was getting. He also informed me of all the options. Which allowed me to decide what I felt best for Me. Thanks Dr Salvant for patient with me and not triggering any of my anxiety or Migraine by allowing me to trust you by your approach towards me.

I was sitting in a chair when Dr. Salvant came into the room. He stood the whole time he was talking to me. I feel it would have been better if he sat down so I would not have had to crane my neck to look at him.
