Dr. Salzer looked at my hand because one of my fingers was experiencing paint in the joint. I was given an X-ray and he determined it was just my joint which was just swollen. I was told that an anti-infkammatory would be good as Show morewell as applying heat. He checked for arthritis as well. I highly recommend BOSS because everything is looked at and explained thoroughly.

Dr. Salzar was wonderful, he went over everything with me explaining and making sure I understood exactly what he said and what he saw in the X-rays. He made sure I was on the correct path to a better set of knees. I feel like he listened to me, heard what I was saying. I could not recommend better Doctor.
5 Stars
Noone better to fix a shattered wrist. In my case, he referred me to another hand specialist in Charleston due to the nature of the break and tendon involved. He immediately took care of my needs and I plan to follow up with him in the future.
