    My wife and I recently had an accident during a reception after an event that we attended. The room for the reception had marble floors and first my wife fell after tripping on something she could not see on the floor and as I rushed to be with her I tripped over the same thing and fell hard as well. We both ended up in a trauma center. Dr Richard M Seldes, an Orthopedic Surgeon, was highly recommended to us. Read more

    I am happy to see my great friend for over 30y, Best Man at my wedding and outstanding rehab doc Jeff Pavell looking stronger than ever after I repaired his ruptured distal biceps tendon through an 1.5 inch single incision. He is one of the best at giving spinal and joint injections / procedures that I know of Dr. Jeff Pavell

    Dr. Seldes I am so grateful to you for giving me my life back. I was in so much pain from my knee, I was in agony. Because of you I can now look forward to living my life again without the pain I had that was threatening to overcome me. I feel like I have had a miracle happen for me. I am once again so happy
