My entire appointment was great my doctor and his team were very helpful, Dr. Salzer was very knowledgeable about my issue and explained to me his recommendations and treatment options, I choose the cortisone shot of which Dr. SalShow morezer explained to me that it will hurt I do believe he told me this more than a few times during his explanation of what the shot was designed to do and what he hopes the outcome would be, and true to his word the shot hurt a lot but oh boy did it work thank you Dr. Salzer for giving me my Christmas back I was able to cook, clean, shop, and enjoy all of which would have been very painful had I not went to see him again thank you from a very satisfied patient.

Debora M. • December 26, 2023

Dr. Salzer is amazing! I had to have surgery and he needed to refer me to a specialist in Charleston. He texted the Dr. directly to see if he could see me the same week since I have an All Expenses Paid trip to Cancun and leaving Show morein less than a week. When he received a message back that the Dr he referred me to couldn’t see me this week he reached out to another specialist to fit me in this week and hopefully get the surgery done. Dr. Salzer called me at home to let me know. To say he goes above and beyond for his patients is an understatement! The Office staff was also great to work with and efficient.

About Dr. Ralph Salzer, MD

About Dr. Ralph Salzer

Ralph Salzer, MD, is a joint, hand, and general orthopaedic surgeon at Beaufort Orthopaedic Sports & Spine, serving patients at the Beaufort, Bluffton, and Hilton Head, South Carolina, locations. A native of New Orleans, Louisiana, he established the practice in 1987.

Dr. Salzer received his undergraduate degree at the University of New Orleans and completed his medical training at Tulane University. In 1986, he completed his orthopaedic residency at Tulane University and its affiliated hospitals. He received sports medicine training at the Hughston Clinic in Columbus, Georgia, under the direction of Dr. Jack Huston and Dr. James Andrews. Dr. Salzer is board certified and a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the South Carolina Orthopaedic Association.

He established the first orthopaedic practice in Beaufort, which emphasizes principles of sports medicine. These principles utilize physical therapy extensively, and surgeries are only done in the context of the rehabilitation process. Although many of these techniques were originally developed for athletes, Dr. Salzer has applied these principles to problems that are common to the general population.

Dr. Salzer takes a particular interest in teaching his patients about their orthopaedic problems so that patients can become participants in their own health care. He 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 a surgical interest in sport problems, including arthroscopy of the knee with reconstruction, or rotator cuff disorders due to the impingement process. He also has expertise in hand surgery, treating a wide variety of hand disorders. Although he was trained in spine surgery, he focuses on the non-operative conservative management of spine disorders. When surgery is needed, he refers to his partner, Scott Strohmeyer, MD.

Dr. Salzer and his wife, Catherine, reside in Beaufort, where they have five wonderful children, now prospering adults. In their free time, they enjoy all that the Lowcountry has to offer.

Dr. Salzer was very professional and explained my issue in clear and understandable terms. Very personable and helpful; and mixed in some really good humor to help reduce my stress.

Dennis F. • March 27, 2024

Dr Salzer takes the approach of “let’s try to fix this before we resort to surgery.” Salzer set me up with Danni at BOSS Therapy. Danni was wonderful. I no longer feel pain (I have been very vigilant with completing my daily exercises)

Judith H. • March 20, 2024

This is my 2nd experience with Dr. Salzer. He is professional, thorough and a superb listener. After hearing my complex symptoms, he literally put his finger on the problem immediately. He took xrays, and reviewed them with me, explaining and demonstrating what was happening. I was immediately referred to physical therapy for pain relief. I so appreciate his non-invasive, no-rx approach. Thank you, Dr. Salzer!

Several weeks ago, Dr. Salzer performed surgery for Dupuytrens contracture on my right hand. The procedure was a complete success, and I am well on my way to a full recovery. Prior to and during recovery, Dr. Salzer very patiently explained the condition, the procedure he performed, and the recovery process. He was always reassuring, and I had great confidence in his knowledge and surgical skills. I recommend Dr. Salzer, without reservation, to anyone in need of a consultation regarding a hand issue.
