Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Seltzer. He takes care to explain the procedure and I experienced no discomfort during the epidural procedure. He has a kind and caring personality

Dr. Seltzer is very down-to-earth and includes the patient in his care every step of the way. He is also compassionate, understanding, and kind. He's current, yet old-school in his attitude of being there for the patient and making the patient feel as if he/she is the most important person he is talking to. I highly recommend this Dr. His Staff, Ashley M., imparticular, is very kind and treats the patients with respect. Robert, too, the nurse, is also tuned into the patients' needs. The overall feel of this office is they are here for the patient. And Dr. Seltzer also treats his staff with a great deal of respect. That says a lot about his character.

This is the worst organization I ever had the misfortune of going to. I took me 1 1/2 months just to get an appointment, then was told to come back 2 weeks later, after giving them a urine sample, before they could do anything. Came back after the 2 weeks and they had no information or results from the previous visit. They wanted me to leave another urine sample and come back in another 2 weeks. Totally unacceptable for an MD office. Avoid at all costs.

Haven’t met him, but hope to. His Medical Group is very unorganized and inefficient. They don’t return calls or read your chart to check on your medical history. Very scary

Dr Seltzer is a phenomenal doctor. He is compassionate and willing to listen/help. I've been seeing him for at least 7 years and have appreciated his concern and care. The only negative is the changes they made to their phone system means you cannot get a live person on the phone. It's incredibly frustrating not to have an option to reach the front desk. Please change this!

I believe that Dr. Seltzer is a good doctor. Unfortunately, he is associated with a large medical group that seems quite inefficient.
