Very thorough in terms of explaining risks and benefits and outcomes(what to expect regarding recovery) Great follow up longitudinally as you recover and periodic assessments are taken post operatively. When I had questions I would text him and he had great response time! Very happy with my knee and the entire experience! read more

Dr Saliman reviewed my miniscus tear and said physical therapy would help strengthen it. That's exactly what happened. So happy to have found Dr Saliman on Yelp!​ read more

I've now had two torn meniscus injuries repaired by Dr Saliman. The most recent was for a "totally destroyed" radial meniscus. His office staff are great, the procedures are done meticulously and to the highest degree of quality. Even though I had to pay out of pocket (thank you so much Anthem Blue Cross) it's 100% worth it to have my full meniscus. It's only 5 weeks post op so there's still a long recovery road ahead with PT and strengthening but I'm grateful to not have to worry about early arthritis or knee replacement! I highly recommend Dr Saliman. Don't let anyone trim your meniscus! read more

The best of the best of orthopedic care & surgery! Dr. Saliman and his team (Rachel, Sheila, and the surgery team Andrea & Saina) are basically the reason I'm able to walk. I'm extremely phobic of all things medical, which didn't bode well for me when I broke my kneecap in two. Dr. Saliman was my surgeon years ago when I annihilated my ankle (foot was facing the wrong way ). When everyone else said I may never walk normally again, he said I'd be just fine and guided me through surgery and recovery. Less than a year later, I was back to walking normally (even in high heels), working out, jumping, basically whatever I wanted to do, I could do. So when I broke my knee, I knew I needed to go back to Dr. Saliman. Once again, he and his team took what was a scary thing and made the whole process as easy and smooth as it could be. They were kind when I was scared, really listened, and instilled trust and confidence. I'm now 4 months post-op and while I'm not 100% just yet, I'm walking at my normal pace, my bend is as good as it was pre-break, and I'm able to do some workouts. I know I'll make a full recovery. If you have ANY issues with your knees -- meniscus issues, breaks, etc -- I highly recommend Dr. Saliman and his team. read more

Dr. Saliman did a complex meniscal repair after a yoga and running injury tour my lateral meniscus pretty badly. My wife is a physician and so she helped me review different doctors and it became clear that Dr. Saliman was my best chance of keeping my meniscus and avoiding early knee replacement. I'm an Olympic distance triathlete and need my knees for exercise. I flew to LA on my way back to my home NorCal and the procedure was pretty seamless. While he was in there he also repaired my media meniscal that had been clipped seven years ago. I did have to pay mostly out-of-pocket (go, Anthem Blue Cross!) but it was still worth it. How much is a functioning knee worth and hopefully decades of activity? The recovery was a lot and I'm still rehabbing and getting back to my sports (5 months out and now can run again, short distances) but totally worth it as I don't have pain and it feels so good to have my knee back. Strongly recommend Dr. Saliman. read more

They don't take Medicare. Most people who are having meniscus tears and OA, are forced to have Medicare Insurance. But you can sign up for an appointment, which requires your type of insurance, and then send over all your MRIs and reports, which takes a few hrs, and only then are you informed. Oh sorry we don't take " your insurance " and then you have to pry more and after back and forth, oh we don't take Medicare, and then but you can pay $350. For a ten minute zoom consult, and it says on the website he is with Cedar Sinai's, which takes Medicare, but oh, sorry, he isn't with them anymore. Not exactly forthright, and misleading. It's called bait and switch. Not cool Dr Saliman. Happened to my cousin and I am her caretaker. Most doctors put the insurance they carry on their website. And don't focus on marketing bait and switch techniques. Not gonna trust this guy when he does this. Happened last year also , to a dear friend of mine. So I am posting this. read more

Many years ago when I was a patient at SCOI, I decided to try Cedars Sinai Medical Center ....for a surgery. Dr. Saliman was the assigned surgeon....things went quite well with the outpatient shoulder surgery (and care afterwards). I would definitely recommend him above any SCOI surgeon, this is not a "surgery mill", each patient at Cedars is dealt with quite professionally & according to their exact needs. The surgeons are in high demand however. Perhaps this kind of approach ...could help explain why Cedars Sinai has been considered the #1 Hospital in the L.A. area?? read more

It's been almost 2 years since my meniscus repair, ligament repair and cartilage repair. When you choose to do this type of surgery, the recovery is a little longer, but it was worth it! Dr. Saliman SAVED MY KNEE! The longer recovery time means you really have to be on top of building muscle. It makes all the difference in the world. He was always responsive, helpful, and their office was easy to deal with. He even cracked a joke with me right before the anesthesia hit. Everything was seamless... and if I had to do it again, I would hands down choose Dr. Saliman read more

This review is long overdue. Dr. Saliman performed a menisus repair on my right knee three months before my wedding in 2021 and, now almost three years later I am extremely pleased. My father is a retired orthopedic surgeon and told me that most doctors would just remove the meniscus and you'd eventually get arthritis. So, Dr. Saliman's approach and the device he devloped have essentially revolutionized menisus repair. That said, Dr. Saliman also follows your recovery closely. Almost two years later I had a spinal fusion so when I got the survey from Dr. Saliman's office, I had to put that I couldn't jump anymore but there was nowhere to leave any notes about my back surgery. Sure enough, Dr. Saliman called me within a week of the survery to ask what was going on. He's THAT thorough and meticulous. I couldn't recommend him more. read more

***Update- I am continuing to log my progress so I thought I'd update. I am 1 year and 4 mos post op. I'm still happy overall! I will say it took me every bit of a full year to get back to where I was anywhere near "myself." It took forever to build up my muscles on my surgery knee! I never feel my age until I think about that. I'd say about a year after my surgery, I was finally able to get full range of motion back without even thinking about it- like immediately kneeling to tie my child's shoe (so deep of a kneel where you're basically sitting on the heel of your other foot)- without thinking about it or feeling anything. Unfortunately- I do still have arthritis issues pop up from time to time, but I'm fairly confident these were inevitable since I went so long on my injury before getting it repaired that I blew through a lot of healthy cartilage. Dr. Saliman did warn me about this possibility. I know it's arthritis and not my prior injury or the surgery bec literally I'll go for 2-3 mos without any pain or swelling or anything off at all, so totally normal, and then all of a sudden I'll have a flare up where it gets tight, stiff and a bit swollen and my range of motion isn't good because I can't bend it all the way back. I'm not sure what triggers this because I haven't noticed any rhyme or reason. I've been doing my workout regimen of lifting and/or jogging or tennis 5-6 days a week since about 8-9 mos post-op. The most I've ever run without stopping is 50 minutes straight. I've done 2+ hour hikes or "power" walks without issue. I miss my distance running days, but I'm tickled pink when I can run 4 miles or so and be pain free. I'll go a couple months doing that without issue, and then BAM, I'm stiff. It's a bummer bec the stiffness lasts a couple weeks unless I do crazy acupuncture (which gets expensive...), so there are stretches of time when I can't do any cardio or lower body exercises. At any rate, in between my arthritis flare ups, which seem to last 1-2 weeks every 2-3 mos, I'm darn near 100% on my surgery knee. read more

I just had surgery 2 days ago with Dr. Saliman to repair a lateral tear of the medial meniscus. It was fairly large and my local orthos wouldn't touch it or wanted to remove it. Time will tell if the repair holds but up to this point the process has been wonderful. Office staff is great, his PA Morgan is attentive and quick to respond to questions, and Dr. Saliman really knows his stuff. Not just that, but given how busy he is, I fully expected to have delayed responses to messages, but when I sent a picture of my knee with a question post-op, he called within the hour and explained what was going on without being rushed. I get the feeling that he really does care about his patients and he has a passion for what he does. He's the man. read more

Highly recommend Dr. Saliman! Local doctors in my state said multiple meniscus tears with radial tear were unfixable and a few misdiagnosed - long story. Dr. Saliman was willing to try so I flew cross country after ZOOM consult. He was honest with me, offered to go in with his scope to see exactly what was going on (blurry MRI from Maine was useless) - he said something like: 80% chance if it's torn the way he thought he'd proceed and fix, otherwise would stop the surgery if it's the other kind of tear. He did amazing job, my meniscus was fixed beautifully (June 2023). He discovered during surgery that my ACL was "limp noodle" from my accident, it didn't show on MRI. He got me back in for ACL replacement surgery 2 days later on same trip. I was trying to explain to everyone I felt like Gumby with my knee falling forward and sliding off a ledge. I asked him to look for that inside during surgery and he found the issue! During PT, I did have some scar tissue growth that affected range of motion/extension and needed a "lateral release" - I think my body over tightened the band that holds kneecap during healing process or while the ACL was so limp for months prior to surgery - overcompensated to hold things together (my knee was thrashed to begin with). But he brought me back in to clean up whatever was impinged and widen the band that September. The new MRI less than 3 months after meniscus surgery didn't even show the biggest tear anymore, I think one was just a tiny shadow so it was healing fast from his stitch method. If your issue is just the meniscus, that is amazing result - you will have much simpler case than mine. I'm probably a rare case that has an MRI so soon to see the healing meniscus. I couldn't even feel the meniscus, while I was struggling with scar tissue portion. By Thanksgiving 2023 I was able to walk with minor limp and got my extension improving. Did PT for 4-5 months total due to extra surgery. May 2024: no limp, full extension. 2025: It's been a year and half since the last surgery and I'm thrilled that I feel 95% again and can walk normally, I barely think about my knee now (just tight feeling at times, sitting at desk) Strolling walk speed feels great. I avoid full squatting down on the ground, probably will never crawl on hard surface again, but that's ok. I can do a flight or two of stairs but won't do the Tower of Pisa. Everything else is back to normal, I can walk for an hour (well) and live my life. Very happy and impressed with how good this turned out. Thank you Dr. Saliman. Sheila in his office is amazing too, so kind and helpful with all my logistics. I wanted to share my extreme case to share hope with others on my positive outcome, if you just need your Meniscus fixed, Dr. Saliman can fix it easily for you. I was probably the most difficult case of his year and he put me back together after all. read more

Do not be conned into Dr Saliman's scam!!! Dr. Saliman preformed a meniscus repair surgery on my knee a little over a year ago. Unfortunately my knee hurts worse now than before the surgery. I did all the required post operative work, brace, PT etc... When I contacted his office to see if we could discuss this he wanted to charge me for a telemedicine appointment. After paying well over 5,000.00 dollars out of my pocket I decided not to give him any more money. He's practice is in Beverly Hills, Ca I live near San Francisco, Ca so had to make a 16 hour round drive or fly. Also after contacting his office he posted on my chart that my knee had arthritis, I am sure he did this only to protect himself as no mention of this was made before or after the surgery. He only posted that to my chart after I contacted him about the poor outcome of his work. Please do not be conned into thinking he is better than other surgeons because of his diatribe about repair vs trimming. It may work for very young athletes but not for the average person. I have since gotten opinions from other surgeons who said they would not recommend repair surgery on a 59 year old person. They recommended partial meniscectomy (trimming) and said it would work better with less recovery time. read more

Saliman could use a better bedside manner. He essentially chewed my wife out for doing exactly what the provider told her to do at the urgent care before her ortho referral. read more

Dr. Saliman operated on my 16 year old daughter a few months ago. I must tell you that he spends the time in surgery to do the job right. After 6 weeks she is walking normally and has no pain. It was only after the surgery and only 1 day that she felt uncomfortable. He is a maniac and worth it. Heroic surgery. read more

Bottom Line: Dr. Saliman failed to repair my meniscus. But what was more frustrating is that he and his office made an already terrible process unnecessarily worse. Details: I came in with a complex meniscus tear and I was very confused because other doctors told me I should just cut it off. Instead of just educating me on why I should keep it (which I would have obviously accepted because I dont want any long term knee issues) he just rudely told me that me and my doctors dont know what we're talking about etc. OK he's the expert so I accepted his recommendation and came in for the surgery. During the surgery day, there was a miscommunication with his staff so I had to wait 3 hours before the surgery started. Ok, annoying but in the long run not a big deal. Post surgery, I had follow up appointments which he missed or was late for, and just experienced miscommunication with his staff where people would forget to answer me, unreturned phone calls... you get the picture. Anyway the whole time I'm like OK whatever as long as my meniscus heals who cares if he's rude or his staff is incompetent. I'm now 7 months post surgery and its clear that the surgery failed. It hurts to walk again, I still cant run and I cant even swim without swelling. Im starting to feel a similar pain when I walk that I felt before the surgery. I was willing to excuse all the BS cause I thought maybe he was just really good at what he does so he doesnt need to be a nice person. But now, I feel like I just wasted 7 months of pain, frustration and false hope just be in the same spot that I was before. Also, be wary of all these positive reviews a week after the surgery, that doesnt mean anything. It takes 6-12 months before you start to see any results. Unfortunately for me, my knee is slowly getting worse over time. Anyway, the guy is not a very nice person and also not a very good doctor- he failed to actually fix what I came in for. As stated earlier, this has been an overall bad experience and Dr. Saliman and his staff just made it even worse. I would strongly encourage people to try another doctor. I really regret going to him. read more

Exceptional doctor, provides great quality care and service. Friendly staff, efficient, and hardworking too.

Dr Saliman is an amazing doctor. It's been 2 years since my meniscus repair surgery and I'm back to Barry's Bootcamp, hiking and normal activities. Prior to seeing Dr Saliman I had consultations from 2 other orthopedic surgeons (1 top Dr from Cedars Kerlan-Jobe) and both said they weren't able to repair my lateral meniscus tear. I was concerned of the removal of part of my meniscus and potential need for knee replacement down the line. When I first spoke with Dr Saliman, I had researched many of his surgery videos and reviews and decided to go for it. I was confused as to why these other credible drs said it was impossible to repair my meniscus. Thankfully Dr Saliman's invention worked and he's extremely skilled. I hardly felt pain post surgery. Thank you Dr Saliman for saving my knee!!! read more

Dr. Justin Saliman is by far the best meniscus repair surgeon in the whole country and maybe the world. I just had my second surgery done yesterday on the same left knee meniscus repair that the first surgeon failed to fix. Upon consulting Justin and hearing his innovative techniques and seeing how extremely intelligent and perfected his techniques, I instantly booked a surgical procedure which I finished yesterday 8-12-2024 and today I already feel like I am so much further along in the healing process after one day versus the other doctor which failed to suture my tear properly. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Saliman and would recommend him to anyone struggling with a knee meniscus tear. He also offers stem cell therapy during the surgery which is a great plus when it comes to quickening the healing process. Dr. Saliman is excellent at what he does and I would encourage anyone with a meniscus repair to consult him and do surgery with this talented doctor. read more

The best ever!! Dr. Saliman used OutcomeMD to measure my symptoms before and during my treatment. My Knee Symptom Score was 25 before surgery and my score has improved to 72 so far! Thank you Dr. Saliman for helping me get such a great outcome! read more

I researched as much as possible before committing to have my meniscus repaired. Kaiser wanted to remove it and their surgeon said he had seen enough of these to know it wasnt fixable. When I said I would like to try fixing it, they said NO! I would always prefer to attempt to save a body part before agreeing to remove it. I found Dr Saliman. I was able to do video meetings before committing to the surgery. He definitely seemed to be incredibly knowledgeable about this particular type of tear. My meniscus was shredded on one side and pushed out in to the inside of my knee. The pictures that were taken during surgery showed just how bad it was. I will say the recovery wasnt painful BUT it wasnt easy either. Non weight bearing for 6 weeks is tough. I did not even place my foot on the ground the entire time because if I was going this far, I may as well do it 100 percent correct. Physical therapy was tough as the calf lost most of its strength. Now I am about 2 years out and I can walk all day long. I can do everything i did previously, however I havent gone jogging yet because that was the straw that broke the camels back in my case. I have been told I am fine to run but mentally I am just not there yet. I dont want to go through this again. If I had to, I know where I would go. It was money well spent. I fought with Kaiser to get my money back and was denied over and over, so I gave up. But ya know, I can say it was worth it. read more

Hi I am sitting at home recovering from second surgery with Dr. Justin Saliman for a torn hip labrum. A decade ago, my experience with Dr. Saliman was equally as professional as it was last week! DR. Saliman patiently describes what he suggested we do. He has a gentle kind bedside manner. Shelia , his receptionist, organized EVERYTHING for me and sent me kind reminders for various appointments. Dr. Saliman and his support staff have been one of the best practices I have ever gone to over the years(a lot). Dr. Saliman is punctual and professional, I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes for an appointment, same true for surgery center. His team is so well choreographed, and his true passion that comes across when you speak with him, and his perfectionism makes him one of the best doctors I have had the pleasure to help me . If you have to have Orthopedic surgery, I highly recommend him. Dr. Saliman and his team make surgery something to look forward to. He doesn't want us to slow down, we have one life to live. He said don't slow down!!! Use your body! I will, thanks to him. read more

Justin Saliman, MD - Healing after arthroscopic labral surgery - Orthopedists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Dr Saliman is an innovative and outcome based surgeon. I was looking for an alternative for a large meniscus repair as opposed to simply removing the cartilage and then counting down 10 years for a full knee replacement. His scheduling coordinator, Sheila, is outstanding and walked me through each step of the way. My visit with Dr Saliman was quick and efficient and he knew exactly what needed to be done. I was fitted and cleared for surgery. It took me a good 3 months for things to start to normalize and at 6 months I was light jogging on the treadmill. Happy to report I can participate in all of the activities I choose to. Thanks Dr Saliman! read more

great outcome. My knee has had two lifetimes of wear (former Marine, ironman triathlete, jiu jitsu black belt) and went from zero functionality back to being able to do most everything (although I gave up running, as I want to preserve my knees as much as possible). Beverly Hills Shoulder & Knee used OutcomeMD to measure my symptoms before and during my treatment. My Knee Symptom Score was 32 before surgery and my score has improved to 79 so far! Thank you Beverly Hills Shoulder & Knee and Dr. Justin Saliman for helping me get such a great outcome! read more

I have been having some pain on my knees and thankfully Dr. Saliman was able to see me and help me out. I had to get a MRI and need physical therapy. Hopefully I will not need surgery but If I do, I know I'm in good hands. The office is spotless and has easy parking and they validate. Sheila is the doctor's assistant and I have to say she is amazing at her job. She's so sweet and responds to all my emails in a professional timely manner. I wish all my doctor offices had a Sheila! Looking forward to do more physical therapy and come back and see Dr. Saliman and Sheila. thank you!!!! read more

I have never been so in awe of anything, or anyone, in my life. Yesterday I had shoulder arthroscopy, and as soon as I got to the Surgery center, every bit of anxiety that I had pretty much left my body, even before they gave me the calming medicine. Today, I woke up having had the nerve block and medicine worn off, and I was still in *minimal* pain. The entire procedure was pain-free and so easy. Dr. Saliman is a true genius. Straightforward, communicative, reassuring, and yesterday he had such a sense of humor that made me feel so comforted, like we had known each other for years. For as many questions as I tend to ask when I'm very nervous, he answered all of them and then made me feel so confident in him, that I didn't even feel like I had to ask much more. This man knows what he's doing, and very likely as a result of the tool that he used on me during surgery, which he INVENTED, I am in way less pain than I think most people are after surgeries like this. He even prescribed me medicine that's non-habit-forming, and with or without it, the pain is so manageable. During my preop appointments with Dr. Saliman, he assured me that I would be "underwhelmed" by the procedure and that I had nothing to worry about. He was wrong about just one thing: I was not underwhelmed at all because I was so unbelievably impressed and amazed by how easy it all was. Yesterday, Dr. Saliman and his entire staff were cool, calm, and collected, and they treated me like they knew me. I give them all so much credit, because even with the masks that they have to wear all day, I could still see the smiles in their eyes and hear the friendliness and confidence in their voices. Each person is so good at what they do, and I could see and feel the mutual respect and trust that Dr. Saliman and the anesthesiologist had with on another, which even deeper helped my nerves and made me feel so safe. Dr. Saliman runs such an efficient practice with so much integrity. It is clear that this man is passionate about what he does - and that's an understatement - just read his Forbes article! He has surrounded himself with a staff that is equally caring and wonderful at what they do. Sheila was so wonderfully communicative with me throughout the entire process, answering every single question that I had and emailing me back nearly immediately every time. Glenna, who works in his accounting department, called me about a week before surgery and made sure that I fully understood my out-of-pocket expenses, patiently talking through everything with me. She was so friendly, and she even told me that she had referred her mother to Dr. Saliman. If that's not a testament to how wonderful he is, I don't know what is! Anyway, I could keep going, but hopefully anyone reading this will feel completely safe and secure, knowing that you are in beyond the best hands possible with this man and his staff. And you are reading this from someone who was VERY nervous About the nerve block, the anesthesia, and the pain that I would feel afterwards. Not only was yesterday easy, it was actually an incredibly relaxing day. I have had chronic hip pain since I was 18, and now I am planning on going back to Dr. Saliman when I'm healed from my shoulder, to discuss finding a solution for this as well. If I need to have another arthroscopic surgery, I have absolutely no fear around it and every single bit of confidence. Good luck with your healing! Look no further than Dr. Saliman read more

Dr. Saliman's the best! He repaired my knee 10 years ago now he's repaired my shoulder. There's no other ortho I'd trust more to take care of joint health. read more

BACK ON THE ROAD RUNNING AGAIN thanks to Dr.Saliman. In October 2021 I hurt my knee running. In December I went to see a surgeon at St Jude who was by far the worst doctor ever. He couldn't accurately read an MRI, twisted my knee to cause the root of my meniscus to tear (afterwards could not sit without my meniscus catching on my ACL, recommended no surgery, said I would never run again and physical therapy. After first PT I couldn't walk for 45 minutes. Then by the grace of God I found doctor Saliman at Cedars Sinai in Beverly Hills. I sent Dr Saliman the StJude MRI and he said I had three tears in my lateral meniscus and one horizontal tear in the medial meniscus of my right knee. Whereas the St. Jude surgeon said I had one tear in lateral meniscus. Dr. Saliman operated on my right knee on March 22 a date I'll never forget. Dr. Saliman invented a FDA approved meniscus stitching device which he sold for $105 million in 2018. Today he still performs surgeries of the knee and shoulder and is in my opinion the best knee surgeon in the country. Prior to surgery he said I would be running in 4 to 5 months. At first I didn't believe him but after wearing a straight leg brace for six weeks and 19 PT sessions I'm now running 1.5 miles with no pain. Thank you Dr. Saliman read more

Dr Saliman saved my life with this hip surgery! I suffered debilitating pain for years by relying on pain killers and steroid shots. The surgery was minimally invasive trough laparoscopy, the scaring was so tiny, like a lentil size. The pain after surgery was considerably intense, quite unbearable for the first few days... but with time and Phisical Theraphy things started to heal and it's been amazing ever since. When I do yoga now I noticed that the hip that was operated on is 20% more flexible than the other! read more

Dr Saliman saved my meniscus by sewing it back with his technique of Nova Stitch and saved my knee joint by installing the Misha Knee System. He is a very professional and caring surgeon with concern for his patients. Giving his patients the latest in technology. The previous doctor told me head to knee replacement. I wish other surgeons would learn from the latest technology. The morning after surgery I was walking without any previous before surgery pain. Patients should be told about the misha knee system and educated on alternative to full knee replacement. This shock absorber type instrument has put a knee replacement way way down the road for me, if ever. Thank you Dr Salimen for saving my meniscus and caring about your patients enough to learn newer technology. Giving your knee patients hope and mobility back. Words just is hard to express how happy I am with my surgery and being pain free . I've only had to use pain medication for 2 days and that was just due to incisions. I look forward to healing completely and getting back to living. read more

Had meniscus repair surgery and it went as planned and I've returned to full mobility and extended the window before I'll need a knee replacement. Saliman was transparent and practical, felt like I was in good hands and that has held true in years since the surgery. Highly recommend. read more

If you want to be a laboratory mouse, go see him. He is young, inexperience money hunter. He promised me that the minute I'll walk out of the surgery the pain will be gone but it didn't. it actually got worse. He did unnecessary surgery on my knee and it did not improve my condition. only made a big hole in the insurance and my pocket. Then he said he want to do another surgery. for me it was enough. I Went to see a different Dr. Don't wast your time with this bad looser surgeon. he did not even listen to my problem. he was too anxious to practice surgery. read more

Very helpful = I feel hopeful! Can't ask for more than that when it comes to knee issues. Thank you Dr. Saliman!

Great surgeon! He performed hip arthroscopy on my left hip on 11/23/15. This doctor takes the time to explain to you in detail the pros and cons of the procedure. One thing that I loved about Dr. Saliman is that he took the time to call me on two separate occasions to answer my questions. He was thorough and honest. He doesn't sugarcoat anything and it's refreshing. Yes....appointment times are so far into the future but the wait is worth it if you want the best. I have recommended him to everyone and also shared his contact info on a Labral Tear Recovery Facebook Group I am apart of, that's how much I trust this man. read more

Great Surgeon! I have had two surgeries on my shoulders. My first surgery was somewhat difficult because of the massive cuff tear and the long healing time. My second surgery was more than successful. I can now play tennis with my left arm. Thank you Dr. Saliman. read more

Dr Saliman is an amazing Doctor. Last year when I experienced very bad pain in my left knee I eventually went to see Dr. Saliman who was able to diagnose the issue right away. Soon after (July 2018) he performed the surgery to correct my problem and I am now pain free and back to full mobility! This was at first a scary and unknown medical issue for me but Dr Saliman was able to get me back to health - so grateful and would recommend him! read more

It pains me to read the recklessly bad review on here, but that says to me everything about the person who wrote it, not Dr. Saliman. Dr. Saliman is quite an exceptional doctor. He did hip labral tear repair and impingement surgery on me THREE WEEKS ago, and I could tell how much better it was the very night I went home. At this point, I have almost NO PAIN!! And I was in quite a lot of pain before. I could barely walk, let alone go up stairs. As is said in other reviews, he goes over everything in perfect detail, in a very comprehensible way. If I could give him ten stars, I would. I have had four unrelated surgeries with three different surgeons before, and I know how to analyze a doctor. read more

he is the most amazing and knowledgeable doctor I have ever met he's been treating me for the pain in my shoulder last 2 months and he injected steroid without any pain. Previousely I have done my knee surgery with him 4 years ago he did excellent work. He takes care of his patients and listens to their concerns. Thank you so much Dr. Saliman we need more excellent doctors like you. read more

In May 2019, Dr. Saliman performed arthroscopic surgery on my right knee to repair a badly torn meniscus and reconstruct a torn acl (using an allograft - cadaver source). The healing and rehab required a little more time and effort on my part than a standard meniscus "trimming" because Dr Saliman actually was able to repair the meniscal tear - stitch it together using a technique and device he invented - no small feat considering how bad the tear was. Many other doctors claimed this couldn't be done and the repaired meniscus would never hold due to low blood flow limiting healing capabilities on the interior of the meniscus. Well, I'm happy to say they were wrong and the repair worked. Over 1.5 years later I barely notice the repairs at all. I can pivot, run, hike, kneel, swim, everything. The only time I notice any soreness (very minor) is after running but then I'm not a big runner either. I exercise the knee (actually both knees) every other day with one legged squats, lunges, and burpees. I was 43 at the time of the surgery, now 45. I'm so grateful that my knee is fully functional and I don't have to worry about the repercussions of a trimmed meniscus which almost certainly would have led to arthritis and a knee replacement down the road. Thank you again Dr. Saliman! read more
