A native of New Orleans, Dr. Salzer completed medical school and residency at Tulane University, followed by advanced training in sports medicine at the prestigious Hughston Clinic in Columbus, Georgia, under the direction of Drs. Jack Hughston and James Andrews.
Dr. Salzer established Beaufort Orthopaedic Sports & Spine (now BOSS) in 1987 to fill the local need for state-of-the-art orthopaedic care with an emphasis on principles of sports medicine, utilizing physical therapy extensively, with surgeries only done in the context of the rehabilitation process.
Although many of these techniques were originally developed for athletes, Dr. Salzer applies the same principles to problems that are common to the general population with outstanding outcomes.
Dr. Salzer has a broad range of interests in orthopaedics and approaches every patient on a comprehensive basis. Whenever possible, he focuses on non-operative treatment and improving patients’ conditioning and flexibility before surgical consideration.
Dr. Salzer has surgical and non-operative experience in treating a broad variety of orthopaedic conditions, including spine, hip, knee, and shoulder. He also has expertise in hand surgery, treating a wide variety of hand disorders. Although he was trained in spine surgery, he now focuses on the non-operative conservative management of spine disorders. When surgery is needed, he refers patients to his partners, orthopaedic spine surgeons, Drs. Scott Strohmeyer and Andrew Castro.

Great diagnosis, surgery and care. No complaints!
I have been seeing Dr. Salzer for a number of years now, and have always been satisfied with his knowledge and treatments.
Always a good visit with my old friend Dr. Ralph Salzer. This visit set my mind at ease not having to deal with hip joint replacement but spinal stenosis. No surgery required and fingers crossed that physical therapy (referral) will correct my issues. Rob Hilton
Great , attentive service…always
Considerate, professional and thorough. Highly recommend!
every thing was perfect
Good. Been seeing him for years and I trust him. He did my wife’s hip replacement many years ago and it’s still going strong
Dr. Salazar is the best. Explained everything so clearly I really feel that I know what is going on and how to fix it.
After experiencing a pinkie finger fracture and “boutonnière” injury to the tendon, I received excellent care from Dr. Salzer. I ended up in a finger cast and hand therapy quickly. After 8 weeks, my finger is almost as good as new. I’m glad that I had the injury checked out fairly quickly and expect a full recovery. Thanks, BOSS.
My comments are forthcoming!
My patient experience with Dr. Salzer was excellent. He communicated well, thoroughly explained the reason behind my problem and demonstrated concern for me as the patient. Dr. Salzer’s treatment intervention was appropriate and carried out in a manner that I felt confident with his technique. I highly recommend Dr. Salzer.
I give Dr Salzer a 5! The office staff I rated a 4 due to a mix up in my appointments. The office staff made an appointment for me to come in 7 days post surgery to have my stitches removed when in fact Dr Salzer told me 10 days to come back for the stitches to be removed. Not a big deal, but a special trip was made with the expectation of removing the stitches when in fact that was not the case.
Dr. Salzer is THE best orthopedic doctor I have ever seen. He is compassionate and very thorough. I highly recommend him.
Extremely knowledgable, very thorough and easy to talk with. Like the treatment plan he prescribed.
Awesome service from start to finish. Everything was explained in detail. True compassion and concern.
Dr.Salzer and staff are always so accommodating and take great care of me and my issues.
Dr. Salzer explained the issues clearly and was very thorough. The staff were all very friendly and I would definitely recommend this office.
Very satisfactory!
Dr. Salzer figured out what was wrong with me within 2 visits, after trying other Dr's for several years. I still have to go back to him for surgery on my hand eventually after other things are taking care of first. I will gladly go back and trust him with doing the surgery.
Dr. Salza easy to talk to and staff very pleasant
I have been a patient of Dr. Salzer for many years. He is very thorough, thoughtful and always will spend the time with you to explain what is happening and what Neds to be done with your injury or illness. I would definitely recommend him to anybody.

As always, he is the Best, very accommodating and professional, not to mention wonderful bedside manners.
Dr Salzer and his staff are one of the most professional and courteous staffs I have ever encountered. Not only do they take the time to listen to you and your concerns, the treatment received is second to none. I highly recommend Boss Orthopedics. Jeff Berry
