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 seligson did open heart surgery on me 13 and a half years ago so this may seem random to write a review so late but I think about the success of that surgery often and don't take my blessings lightly. We were moved for our job shortly before I started having problems from my mitral valve which was going bad. My husband and I both honestly feel that it was a God thing that we were moved at that time as we believe it was supposed to be Dr selleckson Who operated on me. The repair is still doing very well and we are still very thankful. He was always kind and did a great job of explaining everything, answering our questions and helping us feel at ease.

The Car Santa
Dr Seligson did bypass on me about 10 years ago. It was a very long surgery as it wasn't an easy procedure. Have not had any problems over the years and am still going strong. I am on 101 The Fox radio show every Monday awarding vehicles to veterans in need. I have been able to help thousands in need thanks to the Dr, keeping me alive. Cars4heroes.org I would not hesitate to have him help you. Terry Franz (Car Santa) I don't give recommendations unless I really believe in someone. Thanks Doc Here is to helping a thousand more people.

Dr Seligson had thoroughly reviewed my records to evaluate the need for surgery. Because of his thoroughness in evaluating my records, he was able to explain to me the conditions of my aortic aneurysm and his belief that it was not yet necessary to use surgery to repair the aneurysm. His knowledge of my case and the manner in which he explained my condition caused me to have an immediate confidence in his capabilities

I was very nervous about having open heart surgery, but Dr. Seligson took a lot of time explaining things and calming my fears. I can attest to his surgical skills by my rapid healing and low level of pain from the incision. Dr. Seligson is talented and beyond wonderful in his care for patients. I feel so blessed to have found him!

It was such a pleasure dealing with the doctors at this practice. Not only are they personable, but very up to date and informative with regards to the cutting edge of Cardiac procedures. Our family was confident that we found the right Doctors to perform surgeries on our 91 year-young Dad. It is refreshing to get these wonderful Doctors this day in age.

Dr Seligson takes the time and care to explain the options and spends the time to make sure that you understand. Waiting times in the exam rooms can sometime be a bit long, but that it because he is making sure that the other patients have all of their questioned answered.

travelling from los Angeles, Steven Phillips suddenly ill air lifted to Research Kansas City intensive care 11 days. Dr Seligson Insisted his lungs clear before surgery. He was honest about the consequences if they did not wait. When Open heart surgery was performed the Dr. repaired the heart valve badly damaged follow up at Cedars Sinai Los Angeles and the drs said "they have never seen such a perfect surgery no backup blood." Dr Seligson you will always be in our hearts.Thanx

Dr Seligson is very busy but that is because he is that good. He is the best of the best and I was lucky to have him. He is a very thorough when he explains his plans for his patients. When in recovery he checks on his patients before he starts another surgery. This doctor is worth the wait. I highly recommend him.
