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. Seltzer worked with my arm and shoulder and answered my questions for 45 minutes. He was so thorough and so pleasant. I am so thankful to have found him!

Dr. Seltzer performed a partial hip replacement on me and I couldn't be happier. I am healing well, better than I expected. With 14+ years experience in medical settings, I think his office personnel and assistants are probably the most friendly and courteous that I have ever dealt with!

Amazing. He was the third ortho I saw over three years for intense hip pain no one could give me a straight answer on--one doc even told me "well unless you're 100% unable to walk every day, it's not worth treating because you'll be out 12 weeks." For that reason, hearing "you're too young to have pain like this or change your lifestyle because of it" from Dr. Seltzer actually made me cry. Not only did he listen and properly diagnose me, he answered all my questions, explained treatment, and advised me where he would recommend I seek it if I was his own family. And that referral got me exactly what I needed to fix my hip. I'm so grateful for Dr. Seltzer and will see him FIRST next time I have any ortho issues! However, DO expect your appointment to start late--it's a consequence of having a doctor that takes time to listen to patients and puts them before numbers. Not a bad payoff in my book.

Dr. Seltzer is a god sent. My 87 year old mother fell and shattered her femur while the Covid 19 was happening. we were not able to go to the hospital or be with her for her surgery. Dr. Seltzer was amazing. He treated her like she was part of his family and his office staff is also amazing. When she finally came home they called several times to check on her and make sure she was doing okay.

Dr. Seltzer happened to be on call the day that I suffered serious trauma to my arm and wrist. Dr. seltzer was already booked for the day but still managed to operate on me at 7:30 PM that evening. It was a four hour surgery and both prior and after the surgery was kind, compassionate and exerted an air of competence while speaking to me. I could not have been in better hands.

The doctor is great. The girls need to learn to quit talking about patients after they leave. We can hear them in the waiting room!! Very unprofessional and just rude.

Dr. Seltzer is very caring and understanding, he really takes the time to listen and treat each patient. I visited 2 other orthopedic surgeons who told me there was nothing they could do for me other than offer pain management until I was old enough for a knee replacement. Dr. Seltzer is very knowledgeable and professional, he took the time to listen to the issue and offer solutions. He was able to repair my cartilage damage and now I have no pain and couldn't be happier! Highly recommend!

Dr Seltzer is everything you could hope for in a doctor. He listens, he takes the time to really hear you. He never rushes through an appointment just because he is backed up. Each patient recieves the care and attention we all deserve, but rarely get in medicine today. He is brilliant and thinks outside the box, helping you to cope with pain and discomfort in more ways than just medication or surgery. He is an outstanding surgeon. I can not recommend him highly enough. I

Had multiple pelvic fractures and wanted to be treated conservatively. The healing time is longer but his professionalism and great bedside manner puts me at ease every time I go in. I am so grateful for Dr. Seltzer and the staff for what they have done for me- we live quite far from his office but well worth the trip. Although a surgeon, he respected my decision in treatment and didn't treat me less than. I am treated with respect with care, compassion and understanding.
