PTSD: Maybe This Will Make Sense, or Maybe Not
PTSD AKA Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is not a mental illness. It's an injury to the brain, causing psychological symptoms that lead to significant changes in the brain as a result of trauma. Diagnosed, and even worse, undiagnosed, PTSD is confusing, and understanding your own mind is confusing....
It's Called Substance Use, Not Addiction or a Disease
I may have a substance abuse clinic that treats 'addiction' but that's only because that's how things are labeled in society today when you think of the word 'addict'. Addiction is just a habit; it can be good or bad. Some people are addicted to Coke Zero, so whats the difference? A habit is a...
The Five Easiest Questions that Should Be Asked Whenever a Patient Comes in with a Complaint
I see it every day; a patient comes in with a chief complaint, and instead of asking five questions, it's a quick referral and acute meds! One example is a headache; a male in his 30s came with a few days of recent headaches, albeit small headaches, so I asked,...
Mental Health: An Area Only MDs Who Know What They Are Doing Should Work In
Mental health AKA psychiatry is a field that boggles my mind. Its one of those areas where if you do not know how to diagnose someone or if you don't know every single thing about the medication you're about to prescribe, please don't.It amazes me even more how many patients I have come across this...
There's a red blood spot on my chest. What does it mean?
A small red dot on your chest - I'm sorry, to be honest with you, I cannot answer how serious it can be, as i would need more information. Please go see a dermatologist as it's hard to tell from the history. READ MORE
Small itchy bumps on thighs, is it serious?
From the pictures I cannot tell, but if it's sudden and itchy, you need to go to your physician and have them look, as it's something that would need to be seen before telling you what it is. READ MORE
My psoriasis is starting to hurt. Is there something I can do?
Psoriasis is not fun! Have you been to a dermatologist yet? Depending on how much steroids are used, some creams are used, even sometimes I've heard dermatologist tell patients to go sit in the sun!!!! if its gotten worse always, always go get it looked at. You may need to be given medications. READ MORE
Does sunscreen prevent me from absorbing vitamin D?
Having Vitamin D deficiency isn't' causing you to burn, you should get atleast 15 min of sun a day. To increase that however, you should wear sunblock of only SPF 20 when you do that. If you have sensitive skin, I do not recommend more than 15 min and with that sunblock, you should do great. READ MORE

- Aileen
I have never met such a compassionate physician in my 45 years! A doctor that actually gives a crap about people and not money or insurance!
- Deborah
Best doctor I've ever had her knowledge is unreal she is thorough and cares and takes time to address all issues
- Donna
Dr. Suz is a very compassionate and thorough doctor. She's more interested in diagnosing and finding out what causing the medical issue. I've been going to specialist for 10 years and none of them interested in trying to find out the underlying problem. Dr. Suz immediately told me that I was being over medicated which was causing additional issues. If you want a doctor that truly cares about you the patient and not trying to rush patients in and out to make more money for themselves then Dr. Suz is your doctor.
- Josh
There are few remaining physicians as dedicated and compassionate as Dr. Salhab, M.D. She cares more about her patients than any doctor I've ever dealt with. That care begins as soon as you become a patient and continues throughout the time you continue with her as your provider. She goes the extra mile to ensure everything having to do with you treatment is done.

She's amazing!
