I was referred to Dr. Saleh by my general dentist, and from the very first visit, I knew I was in great hands. He’s highly knowledgeable, explained my treatment plan with clarity, and somehow managed to make my appointments feel relaxing and enjoyable.

Was a patient of Dr Neruzi before his sudden passing and he was wonderful 😥 though it’s difficult to replace such a fine Dr like Dr Neruzi, Fox River lucked out with Dr Saleh. He’s super nice and takes the time to explain everything in a way in which a person who isn’t in the medical field can understand. Unfortunately no one wants to have to see a periodontist but if you have to, I’d definitely recommend Fox River and Dr Saleh.
