This is a personalized practice. We try to give attention to non-conforming needs. We try to remain as transparent as possible (regarding both medical decision-making and general operations), so if you have any questions please ask. If you have suggestions, please let us know. Our workflow for handling requests, questions, or general issues is meant to minimize missed messages, mistakes, miscommunications, etc.

One key concept we prioritize is sustainability, be it administratively and clinically. For this reason, we prioritize staff input and give our non-clinical staff the decision making power to retain patients or not based on interactions outside of the doctor-patient relationship. Although this goes against the ‘customer is always right’ mentality, it allows staff to operate efficiently and healthily, which absolutely benefits all patients retained in the practice.

Our waiting room is open during official office hours. (Some providers have hours that differ from the main office). Refreshments and snacks are available. You may be asked to fill out a short questionnaire prior to the appointment.

The Women's bathroom code is 5-3-1, the Men's bathroom code is 1-3-5.

Dr Sallaj may have a scribe sitting quietly and out of the way while taking notes. If you prefer, the scribe can leave. The scribe is ultimately for your benefit as it allows for greater ability to focus on detail, planning, and interaction.

Since we have to chart our encounter, you may notice that we have to type notes on a computer. If you prefer that we don't type, and use handwritten notes instead, please let us know. We prefer to type rather than hand write notes since we can maintain eye contact, can type faster, and generally maintain good focus on what you're saying. 

There is street parking available for $2/hr - typically this is not an issue during business hours - people can usually find a spot within a couple blocks. Sometimes there will be heavy parking; please give yourself ample time to find a spot especially if this is your first visit. 

If it is a particularly difficult parking day, there is paid parking (about $5/hr behind the AT&T store at 554 W Diversey Pkwy 60657 - turn into the alley between the AT&T store and the white building and it'll be to the left.
