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.

Dr Selassie is a gift to all of us in pain. She is a kind, accomplished, skillful physician that makes every effort to help you. I am thankful to know her.

Dr. Selassie is a true healer. I have relied on her pain management expertise for over a decade and she has delivered glowingly every time. When I could barely walk due to my excruciating pain, her calm and reassuring manner made the epidural process so very bearable. After the procedure, which made me totally ambulatory. Dr. Selassie followed up twice via telephone over the next two days. I could not speak more highly of her competence and bedside manner.

8 years and 12 doctors and Dr. Selassie finally gave me a diagnosis! She's a wonderful person who listens and actually cares about you and your pain. She has a conservative approach, no rushing you in to surgery, and she'll do as many or as few procedures as you want. She also has a overnight service and will call you back at 3am if you're having an emergency. She's pricey, $245 for 15min visit, but she doesn't act like you're a drug-seeker and that's priceless.
