Haven't seen Dr, Saleh in YEARS, however he is the OBGYN to the "stars" in the area (news anchor's wives, etc.). I grew up on the north shore and lived in the Evanston/downtown Chicago area for many years (where he used to be located) and could take the el to his office.
Unfortunately, when I was 17 in 1988, I got pregnant. Went to planned parenthood and got my first pap smear, turned out 4/5 for cancer. If I would have waited for the "go to the gynecologist when you're 18" I might had have full blown cervical cancer!! Eeek!
Went to Dr. Saleh's office (who had a partner then, an old man - retiring, on the way out) for cervical dysplasia freezing, and went to get a pap every 6 months all the way into the late 1990's (perfect every time since) and kept seeing Dr. Saleh until at least the mid 2000's (2008?).
I no longer have any problems with that cervical stuff. All pap smears have been fabulous. They gave me an ovary ultrasound when I was last there (I think it was the last time I saw him), because my mother and sister have/had fibroids the size of oranges/grapefruits.
I am no longer in the area but I must say Dr. Saleh is a kind doctor who cares - whether you're there to check your plumbing or if you're pregnant - no bias either way. He definitely has a kind, warm "bedside manner". Last time I saw him the first thing I said was, "You Look OLD"! He laughed and said something like, "well, you've been coming here 20 years, what do you expect?" And we laughed and laughed.
I also have an incurable STD and experienced NO JUDGEMENT no lectures - he was cool about it and explained all to me how to manage! Then my GP took over that side of things. Due to fibroids in the family I believe my last visit was for a fibroid ultrasound. Added bonus:
When he was a resident he was one of the doctors who gave my mother her hysterectomy, and she loved him. And that was in 1987 or so.
NOTE: Please keep me confidential even if you can figure out who this is, Dr. Saleh! Love ya! (Mom's got dementia, it's a bummer. I caregive for her now, that's whats been going on with me)
