I saw Dr Saliba twice and I’ll never go back. Once during my pregnancy and once postpartum for hypertension. The first visit he was very late and unapologetic. He also came off very dismissive about my concern about my blood pressure. He dismissed my concerns, practically laughing at them and then would direct his comments at my husband instead of me, almost as though I wasn’t in the room. The second time I saw him was 8 weeks postpartum, I was given an emergency appointment due to high blood pressure readings at home. He was late again, dismissive again and borderline inappropriate. Both appointments he didn’t knock before entering the room, which I find rude. Second, he began pulling on my sleeve trying to take my arm out of my shirt without saying anything. When I asked what he was doing, he said he needed to take my blood pressure. I told him that I could take my own arm out of my shirt. Lastly, after the appointment ended, when I ran into him in the hall, he asked if I had gone over contraception at my previous appointment, I said yes and he proceeded to ask me what my plans were in the hallway with people around. I dismissed his question and gave a vague answer, as I didn’t want strangers hearing about my plans for contraception. Overall it was a very uncomfortable experience. I don’t plan to go back and would go as far as reporting him.

Dr. Saliba saw me through my second pregnancy and also did surgery on me. He removed a huge (and very painful) ovarian cyst and a fallopian tube following hospitalization for ovarian torsion. He was amazing. I was in almost zero pain following surgery and back to work in just four days! Beyond his technical skill, I love Dr. Saliba's personality - he is direct, funny and caring.

I have to say i've had horrible experiences with him in the office. He is extremely rude and contradicting. He told me i did not have this and i had nothing wrong with me and the tests came back with what i said. Horrible, he tried to talk to me like i was an idiot although i am in the medical field. The day of my delivery for my second i ended up needing a c-section and i was so mad when i knew he was on call. For the first time he showed kindness and bedside manor and i have no complaints for that day. Overall i do not care for him and would NEVER recommend him!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Saliba's for 16 years. He is honest, caring and has always put my mind at ease. Since I am normally a very anxious person, I really appreciate his honesty. Being a patient of his for so long it really was a relief seeing him at the hospital the day I arrived in labor. Especially after having a tough few weeks seeing other physicians with an irritable uterus and borderline preclampsia. With all the different medical opinions, I realize how important it is to have a doctor who knows you and that you really trust. I really wish Dr. Saliba could be my doctor for all my medical concerns, and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Just a terrible experience. I was dismissed and manhandled. I agree with another commenter that experience trumps beside manner, but Dr. Saliba is rude, dismissive, and condescending-- I believe these faults severely impact his ability to effectively practice medicine. He wouldn't give me the time of day about single one of my concerns, and rushed through an already brief appointment (which he was half an hour late for). I guess he must have felt I was wasting his time, but trust me, the feeling was mutual by the end of the visit.

Dr. Saliba Diagnosed my condition And was Reassuring. He appears to be an excellent diagnostician and that's what I am mainly concerned about. I was impressed with his expertise and knowledge about my condition. His bedside manner was fine with me but regarding others complaints, it's really more important to go to somebody with knowledge and expertise versus prioritizing bedside manner. I had previously been to a couple green doctors who left me worried and Dissatisfied as they Didn't accurately address my concerns and their diagnostics were lacking. I was very impressed with Dr. Saliva and will see him again I'm sure.

Worst GYN experience ever. Horrible bedside manner - dismissed my chief complaint - no discussion whatsoever. Biggest issue is he left the room after the start of my exam to get something (while I am completely exposed), and LEFT THE DOOR OPEN, me uncovered, and no curtain between me & the door. I left there completely traumatized. I am never going back. I have a call into the administrator, but have not yet received a call back.

I have been going to Doctor Saliba for over 20 years and he is a great doctor. I was so nervous that I would be unable to get pregnant and with one surgery Dr. Saliba made it happen. I am forever grateful to him. He has also saved my life. I have been in danger of contracting ovarian cancer over the years and have had several surgeries to rid of the pre-cancer cells. I enjoy his sense of humor and know that I am well taken care of when I am in his hands. I am sure there are thousands of women that have been saved and impregnated that may have not be able to be without the help of Dr. Saliba. Thank you Doctor Saliba my son is now a healthy 15year old and I am truly indebted to you and your staff. Sharon R.

I went to this doctor to show my over grown libia. First of all he was 45 mins late. while I was waiting for him to see him, i could hear him chitchatting about non-work stuff with his collegues.I find this very unprofessional. he didnt even apologise for coming late. Plus when he did come to see him, he was very cold and unsympathetic to my state/condition. his medical diagnosis was not satisfactory to me and his tone was of mockery. I dont recommend this doctor to anyone.
