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.

When surgery is needed, he refers patients to his partners, orthopaedic spine surgeons, Drs. Scott Strohmeyer and Andrew Castro.
