A hands-on visit with Dr. Shadi Salameh, who explains what he finds, your options and the risks before you decide

How a visit goes

An exam first, then a plan you agree to

Dr. Salameh starts with your history and an exam of how you move. He explains what he found, what the options are and what the risks of each are. Care starts only if you agree, and you can stop at any time.

How care begins

The same four steps for every new patient

  • 01

    A short conversation

    Dr. Salameh asks about your history, your work and what you want from care. No health forms are needed before you come in.

  • 02

    An exam

    He looks at how you move and sit. X-rays are taken only when they are medically necessary, and he tells you why first.

  • 03

    Your options

    He explains what he found, the options, the risks of each and what each would cost. You choose what happens next.

  • 04

    Visits after that

    If you go ahead, he suggests how often to come back and reviews the plan with you as you go. No number of visits is promised up front.
