Aleya Salam Md's Online Review Report Card

She hushed me and rushed me. Didn't ask anything about my pain or how it effects my life, told me "you have the tiniest herniation, you shouldn't be in pain at all". She said an injection might help, but "if it doesn't work it doesn't work". When she said i couldn't take any nsaids or supplements 5 days before the injection i about fell off the chair. Idk how im going to manage without taking them. ...there was no way I was going to bring up any new meds for pain, she probably would have accused me of using. People told me she was great, but I definitely disagree.

Kind, compassionate and thorough. Pain free- no meds

She is very thorough and explains everything that she is going to do during a procedure. During the procedure she is always checking that you are okay and explaining what she is doing.

I am a patient of Dr. Salam and am very pleased with her extraordinary care of my condition. Not Only Dr. Salam, but her staff as well deserve credit for my pleasant visits to the office. Sabina is so pleasant and considerate and makes sure I have everything I need during my appointment. Abby, who I recently met, also made me feel comfortable and is very kind and considerate young lady. Their contagious smiles are so appreciated and put me at ease. Great job guys! Thank you for your care.

Doctor Salam is a very experienced and carrying physician who gave me fantastic service!

My PCP sent me to her hoping that epidural injections would be an effective way of managing my pain caused by a herniation in my cervical spine. My first visit, we discussed the findings of my MRI & talked about the symptoms I was experiencing. She ordered an MRI of my thoracic and said she would call in meds to get me til the MRI was approved. She didn't call in anything. It took several follow up calls before a nurse called in a medication I was already on. She is incompetent and apathetic.

Dr. Salam is the best doctor I have ever had. I have been seeing her for over 3 years now for an injury to my back. She is caring and very sincere. I would recommend her to anyone with a spinal injury.

The her first suggestion when I came to her as it would give the most relief almost immediately was injections. Me being needle phobic said no. She worked with me with physical therapy and meds. I did for several years keep the needles away with Pilatees , yoga,occasional anti-inflammatory w/pain med. After being thru several injections and a RFA I've been given some relief. I have to say that her caring and understanding of me is everything. She puts me at ease when it's time for inj.

After unexceptionable experience 's over an 8 year period, with previous pain management I've come across Hunterdon Family Orthopedics. After thorough evaluation by Dr Salam Ive agreed to give Dr Salam a chance to help me with my chronic pain issue caused by a serious cervical (5 crushed cervical disks) injury (Job related) and 2 surgeries I've experienced. Far less then a year later, I am 90% pain free. Dr Salam is an excellent doctor. I highly recommend Hunterdon pain management for everyone in chronic pain. Thank you very much Dr. Salam. I also would like to imclude Dr. Polack who also did a professional service greatly decreasing shoulder pain that had gotten worse after a Roto cuff surgery done by another facility other than Hunterdon.
