“First time visiting Tallman Eye Associates, in Salem, NH. From the moment I was greeted, as soon as I walked in, I felt comfortable and welcome. Staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. Dr. Pappavaselio was wonderful. Eye appointments when you have had eye surgeries can be stressful. This appointment was anything but. Highly recommend!!!”
