Review for Dr. Salopek
Dr. Schutte is an excellent doctor! He did my reconstructive knee surgery in 1991, and my Knee replacement surgery in 2021. He is very good at what he does, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else, but him!

Very thorough and explained what he was wanting to do next.

Review for Dr. Perry
Good, concise, address the subject at hand. Wasn't interested in discussing any additional concerns of mine without another visit. He admitted the office was a bit "behind" with patients.

Dr. Salopek is very professional and he does not overlook any small thing. It took me 8 yrs after relocating back to La to find a doctor who cares about his patients. Also Laren and the other office staff are very professional and courteous.
