Gregory P Salerno, PHD

11/14/2021 Greg Salerno Phd is a pedophile, child predator and monster. He keeps putting that his practice is closed but it’s because I am one of his victims and am doing all I can to expose him. Salerno raped me repeatedly at the age of eleven, he raped the childhood out of me. This is all while he was a teacher at Gillespie middle school in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Research before you go or take your children to this demon doctor. He also gave me alcohol and would blow the smoke marijuana into my face. He is a demononic demented monster. I live in Hephzibah Georgia and if you want to know more you are welcome to contact me. My name is Priscilla Brown and my email is aaanotaries@gmail.com. Also, since finding him he puts his office is permanently closed on his pages when I locate them and pays to have my reviews removed. Greg Salerno, why don’t you have me charged with slander, deformation of character, something? Or are you afraid to say anything because you know you are guilty of these crimes? I’m waiting! Salerno know that I will continue to write these true and accurate reviews of you until justice is served for me.

I concur with the other reviewer about not returning phone calls (David L). I can to Dr Salerno because he is the person my bariatric surgeon sends patients to for a psych clearance. We share the same sense of humor and I thought I would try him or therapy.
The type of therapy he does is called «Talk Therapy» which is not what I needed. I didn’t realize this until months later because I had so much to get off my chest that initially I did feel better.
Here is where it went south: He talks about himself and his problems. This is a basic no-​no in therapy. It is crossing a professional/​ethical boundary not to mention inappropriate. I don’t want to hear about his ex wife/​girlfriend or his addiction to shopping.
When it came to completing the bariatric clearance, I had left him at least 3 voicemails and I never heard from him. My surgeons office called him to get on his case about it and within an hour of them calling his office, he called me. Weird! When I called him on the not returning my calls, he handled it quite poorly. He became insistent that he did call me back almost to the point of being defensive. I told him «well, I don’t know what to tell you as I have no record of you calling me.» He became even more insistent as if it would make his voicemails suddenly appear in my voicemail inbox (as supposed to saying something like «that is so strange, do you have an alternative number/​I am sorry that that happened»). When I came to his office, his patient files were spread everywhere on his desk and stacked at least four inches high.
Yeah, I am sure you called me (rolling eyes).

I was hoping to have a better experience with him given the other reviews. I have called him 3 times and left 3 voice mails over the course of the last week hoping to start working with him. He is yet to return a call. Regardless of his skills as a Doctor, I can’t endorse a business that doesn’t return calls.

Dr. Salerno is literally the best at what he does. I see him for couples counseling with my fiancé/​wife for premarital counseling and he is just very down to earth and not afraid to step into a dispute between you and your spouse and doesn’t just sit on the side nodding his head. He has very helpful ideas and tools to suggest for better communication. Not to mention he’s hilarious.

I must say it’s probably hard for people to write a review about a therapist because they think it might be embarrassing but to me it’s not. It’s really about talking to someone that can understand everything and give you the best treatment. I called Dr. Greg Salerno one day because I was stuck in a small rut, and he was able to give me quick advice over the phone and I went with it and then scheduled an appt with him the following week. He’s very flexible and will make time to meet with you, but if you call the day of to cancel an appt, he will charge you your regular co pay for that missed appt. I went to Greg Salerno twice for some minor issues. I went to get some insight and let out my thoughts and I felt really comfortable talking to Dr. Salerno. He’s not like most therapists that just sit there, listen, and write notes down. He’ll actually talk, confirm what you’re saying to make sure he understands, and he’ll give his honest opinion about the situation without being judgmental or even sugar coating it, but he’s also pretty funny. He’ll see both sides of the story and not only confirm what that person did may have been wrong or right, but he also told me what I could’ve done different or how to approach things differently to make it better. I was 100% honest about everything so I asked for advice and got his 100% honest opinion back and I took his advice and he was absolutely right. I finally feel happy and more positive about my relationship thanks to him. Dr. Salerno, I made sure that «thorn» in the relationship was gone. It really made a difference and now we’re as happy as can be. Thank you, thank you! I’ll be sure to refer people your way if they ever say they need someone to talk to. Thanks again. :)

Dr. Salerno is pretty awesome. He is very patient, non-​judgmental, easy going, and understanding. What I like most about Dr. Salerno is that I always feel comfortable talking with him.
A previous reviewer said that Dr. Salerno does not take payments during his sessions. He takes payments during his sessions now. I also know that he still takes insurance.
