Nice clinic. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The location is very convenient for me. I’ve always had a good experience there.

The clinic really seems to have gotten their procedures down. The wait time is much less than it used to be, in the waiting room and the exam room. Thanks for that.

Very happy with the provider. Excellent listener and very happy with the whole visit. Just the construction is the biggest issue. Other than that, love the provider. Recommend her to most of my friends. Thank you.

My family and I have been coming to Fairview Uptown for forty years. Two out of three doctors have been extraordinary. Nurse Michelle and the reception staff are all outstanding. Thank you for all you do.

Let me tell you, I was utterly shocked by her easy assessment of my history completely clear reading of my chart for the first time! Why hasn’t anyone ever told me this in the 10 years I’ve been going to this clinic?! This is criminal!!

On time and very helpful

Dr. Salim was an amazing doctor. She called, she listened to my concerns, and she followed up the next day. Also, she messaged the other doctors that were involved in my care on my behalf. I haven't had a doctor that has been that caring and diligent in a long time. I'm glad you guys have her in your team, and I appreciate the fact that you took my concern and listened to me. Thank you so much.

It was great experience

The staff were all great! the building was surprisingly dirty - there was trash in the elevator and it really need the floor cleaned. That was sort of off-putting, along with the construction around the front door. It made the building seem run-down. But the clinic was fine and the people were nice. :-)

Dr. FARDOWS SALIM Did an excellent job, listening to my problems and helping solve it. She gave me her time and also her ears. I would recommend her 1000 times she knew what she was doing.

Visits by voice over the phone are a good idea many times. Thank you.

I really appreciated the promptness throughout my entire visit. Not a minute of my time was wasted! The wait to check-in was very brief, and the person at the front desk was friendly, professional, and competent. They did an excellent job with being both quick and thorough, and set me up with all of the information and instructions I needed. I was called back within mere minutes of getting to the clinic for my appointment. The wait for Dr. Salim was also very brief, so I am very impressed with the schedule management. I was also able to go practically straight from the exam room to the lab. I sat and waited for hardly a minute before I was taken back for my blood draw. The person who performed my blood draw also excelled with professionalism, competence, and kindness. I used to work in a very busy medical practice where long, long waiting times for patients were extremely commonplace. I know the standard I saw for my appointment with Dr. Salim was difficult to achieve and very much hard-earned. Thank you.
