"I had been to Dr. Saslow years ago and came back to him for a current issue. The staff in his office is so kind and tremendously helpful. Dr. Saslow is still as attentive, professional and responsive as I recall from my previous encounters with him. I am so glad that he is so readily available to provide care."

"After years of stomach issues being wrongly diagnosed, Beth took the time to be thorough with my diagnosis. When I was 50 years old she found that I wasn't plumbed right. After having surgery I am finally free of stomach issues. I wish I could give Beth a hundred stars she definitely is amazing!"
