    Yes, I just wanted to say that my experience with Dr. Saly has been just an unbelievably good experience. I find her to be extraordinarily smart, but I think she also has a lot of compassion. She's a great listener. I feel very comfortable and well cared for in her care. I just couldn't say enough good things about Dr. Saly.

    The only problem was getting an appt with this provider but this is a problem throughout the entire mgh system ( other than the hand service). But the wait for Dr Saly was well worth the wait. She is an extremely good listener, very warm and caring. She explained my condition and what my plan of care will be. I trust her even though it was my first appt. I've been a nurse for 45 yrs, and I have an excellent 6th sense re: physicians and Dr Saly has that special "sauce" that makes her a phenomenal physician, and I am so lucky I am in her care and look forward to working with her.
