I saw her about 4 times. Each time, I was seen no less than 90 minutes past my appointment time. The first time I was in, I was diagnosed within 10 minutes, but I was given no information- I asked questions, then was told to look them up online! One prescription I was given caused extreme swelling, and I was told that I just needed to lose some weight (I am 5'3" and 120 lbs). Each time I went, I was frustrated, got no answers, and I gave up and found another doctor.

I went to see her twice each time I waited over an hour. Within minutes she diagnoised me. Second visit same wait time she stood at the door of the room wrote me out 3 prescriptions and was done. Between 5-10 min. visit. I never even got to ask the questions I had written down. Since I had never heard of Psoriatic arthritis i questioned her let me tell you she didn't like that and cut me right off. I believe now that is what I might have but I'd never go back to her.

Dr Saluja switched my medications and after a week of pain I went back and she looked at me as if I was stupid and asked why I stopped taking them. I always had to wait over 45 minutes. The office staff was rude. Dr Salujahe was rude and unwilling to listen to my concerns.

Dr. Saluja is the first medical professional that really seemed to believe that I had the pain that I do and immediately found me an answer that made sense. When you fill out the patient history/questionnaire completely, it gives the doctor a full picture of what's going on. I filled mine out methodically and almost obsessively which may have helped her in diagnosing me so quickly. I've only seen her once, but the medication she prescribed is already helping. One of them may be affecting me differently than expected, but I have complete faith that when I see her in a week, she will listen to what I'm feeling and will find a solution for me. I've dealt with and known enough doctors to know that the good ones are busy and sometimes appear to be 'short' or quick when talking with patients. But you know what? It's usually because they know their stuff. I trust Dr. Saluja completely to be honest and thorough. I know she cares and just wants to fix what's wrong quickly.

I was also younger than most people she sees.I felt she just ran test after test. Had me on every kind of pill and patch etc.out there.She also came across demeaning.Especially when I would ask questions. She even rolled her eyes. I have some knowledge of the medical field. And have always had a good rapport with doctors.We have also move to other states, and never encountered a doctor like her. She was not in my health plan. No RA's at the time in my plan.I picked her for her location. Not a choice.
