Moses Salgado, MD

What a pleasant doctor dr. Salgado is! He is very soft spoken and will take ample time to hear your concerns and explain everything. He went to the best schools in So Cal so that was a plus for me. I picked him for my surgeon out of three ENT doctors in north county San Diego.

To start this review on a positive note, the doctor seemed to be very personable. I guess he should be considering he billed my insurance company $ 796 for a 15-​minute consultation. My insurance company of course didn’t reimburse him this amount, but I was stuck paying $ 150 copayment for a «nasal endoscopy.» Had the doctor informed me that this 3-​minute procedure would be billed at $ 524, I would have asked him whether it was really necessary. Perhaps I would have even consented to the exam and not been so shocked when the bill arrived. Instead he simply stuck the camera into my nose almost as nonchalantly as if he were sticking a tongue depressor into my mouth. I wrote a nice letter to question the charge, which went unanswered. When I called his office, I was told that I should consider myself lucky that I had good insurance and only had to pay $ 150 out-​of-​pocket. Most patients, I was told, have to pay a lot more.
Perhaps the doctor is an excellent surgeon, as suggested by the other reviews. I only write this to warn potential patients of what I consider to be highly unethical charges. I wish I had read the Unilocal reviews on Pacific ENT, Inc, as others have expressed similar complaints.

Awesome Doctor! He treated me very well and really helped me. I thought I was going to have to get hearing aids at 29 because I have had problems for so long. He cleaned my ears and it is like a miracle! I can hear. I am very grateful to Dr. Salgado for his help. If you are looking for a great ENT doc, I would recommend Dr. Salgado.
