Very bad experience. First off, we had a phone visit and she was rude and disrespectful to me on the phone. I asked her nicely to show a little respect as I am a senior and am used to doctors deferring to my age; she called me "ridiculous." she then overprescribed the medication (suboxone) and i had a severe reaction -- nausea, dizziness, vomiting etc. i left two messages on her two phone nos. but did not receive a call back until our phone appt time which was about 48 hours later. she told me to wait it out, it would go away. it got worse, so i called my primary care physician

If you have any other choice, do not go to this "doctor". I have diabetes with high blood pressure and high chloresterol, and have been taking medication for these conditions for several years prior to going Dr Saltzman. Saltzman prescribed a diabetes medication that I soon found out hadn't been manufactured for a decade, and it took me a few weeks of phone calls to finally get her to prescribe one that was still in production. During my first visit with her she failed to prescribe a prescription for high blood pressure, when I questioned her about it she replied "Why do you

I see the bad reviews and it has not been my experience at all. Dr. Saltzman and Dr. Danielle Defrancis have been nothing but great. You can get last minute appointments, it's in midtown, they are quick, efficient, friendly, and most importantly they treat you with respect.
I've been a patient here for 2 years, I have had to use other doctors every now and then when traveling and I always miss them.
Dr. Danielle Defrancis is usually the one who takes care of me, and she is great. Super friendly. I just love them both! Would recommend to family members and anyone else.

Such a terrible practice. I made an appt a month ago and called to confirm that my appt was still today, because I'm the type of person that double checks everything, and I was told my appt had been cancelled without my knowledge. Not only is that incredibly unprofessional, but they offered no help in rectifying the situation - would not fit me in and told me the next appt was in 3 weeks. I would have made an appt elsewhere to address the issue I am currently having if I had known. Will not be returning.

Why do people still come here? You won't see Dr. Saltzman you will see a PA, if you want to see Dr. Saltzman expect to wait a hour for her. I truly believe something is mentally wrong with her I had an appointment to see her at 3 she came in at 4 rushed in with a fresh manicure with the tissue still wrapped between her toes. What a joke. She is scary with multiple personalities, as she came in screaming at her Spanish worker like she were a dog, I felt bad because you don't do stuff like that in front of patients. Anyways I could tell she just wants money she preys on addicts! Don&apos

Very bad inconsiderate staff. I had an appointment for May 27 although it was Labor Day. I assumed it was open because they gave me two emails of my appointment reminder and a text reminder. But when I went there for my appointment the office was closed. They have this system where you can text online to talk to them so I wrote them how this happened and how inconsiderate they were especially since they have a cancellation fee when canceled within 24 hours. They should pay me a cancellation fee honestly. They didn't even text me back or call me or ANYTHING I feel as if they atleast owe
