Patient Experience Reviews
Dr Salata is someone whom I very much trust with his expertise and advice. I saw him again for pain in my hip and my back - it has been frustrating to find a root cause as to why my back in particular hurts so much - and then for the pain to move to the hip. Dr Salata spent an hour talking with me about MRI findings in my hip and his willingness to perform a diagnostic hip arthroscopy. His thoughts were that a procedure could make things potentially worse vs benefits. It was a conversation I felt I needed to have, as I've been at a loss for trying to get back to my normal exercise routines and even being able to sleep without pain. I feel from my time knowing Dr Salata over 4+ years that he truly cares about my well being and wants me to be in a place where I can live my life on my own terms, albeit with potential constraints (limit running). For as much as I was hoping the hip MRI would be a smoking gun into my pain, Dr Salata has me accepting that my hip is in the best condition it can be in and likely isn't the cause of my pain. I wish it was easier to get with other providers at UH who are as compassionate and as good at what they do as Dr Salata is. Thank you for caring for me.
Dr. Shana Goldstein-Ptahia was amazing! She gave great care and referrals! Grateful to have been randomly scheduled with her! Definitely will return for my yearly
Dr. Salata and his team were very helpful with all of my concerns. All of my options were laid out to me after they listened to my medical history. I would go back to Dr. Salata in a heartbeat for future care.
Very good appointment
Dr Salata was absolutely excellent. He provided me exactly the information and guidance I was hoping for. Cordial, knowledgeable and professional best describe his personality.
Provider explained my diagnosis and what I can do to help alleviate symptoms and really took the time to make sure I was comfortable. This is why I send family and friends to him!
Great Physician, he explained possible alternatives to surgery.
Dr. Salata and staff continue to give the best care and consideration in regards to my shoulder issues and the care I need for them.
He is the smartest ortho I have experienced who is up to date on latest clinical information and explains complex terms in simple terms which make decision making for me for my son very easy.

I had a fantastic experience! Dr was very understanding and did not treat me like an older person! He was every helpful and was careful to make sure I understood. There should be MORE doctors like him!! I can't say enough about how good he was!

Dr. Salata and his team were excellent in every aspect of my care!

Dr. Salata was very nice and respectful. I explained to him why I wanted to see him to get another opinion on my "sitting pain" issue. While he didn't do a physical exam (not sure why), he did order new x-rays and looked at them to see if he had any thoughts on what might be causing my pain. He showed me my x-rays and talked to me about what he saw and then he gave 2 suggested injections and in what order he recommened them.
