    My wife and I both use Multicare MD's. We are of the general opinion that the doctors are always rushed and unable to be thorough with visits. In my visit with Dr. Saleem he covered a lot in my short visit with him. He directed care for a number of issues as well as gave me advice to my general health. He review of my labs was very timely and he did note the significant changes worthy of note in my labs. I did leave with an ultrasound referral that I did not understand which I used the Multicare system to clarify with Dr. Saleem.

    Dr. Saleem gave me valuable information about my sons disability. This appt was originally to establish care for him but he refused to come due to his illness. Dr S.

    Dr. Saleem was rude. Disrespectful to my care. Combative speech when speaking to me. Poor listener. Did as little as possible toward my Healthcare. I will be changing doctors.
