Patient Reviews
Jun 15, 2024
Dr. Sefter has been amazing I wish I had a better word for it! He always explains everything as we go he is VERY knowledgeable about his line of work he knew which nerve was pinched from the beginning and as soon as I got worse he saw me right away and ordered an mri he’s a very good doctor and truly cares! I didn’t feel embarrassed to cry in front of him (or on the phone on our telephone appointment) which is also something else he’s very understanding of when I can’t make it physically in the office he’s okay with changing the appointment to a telephone appointment instead. I don’t have a single bad thing to say about Dr.Sefter, and being only one week from surgery I can’t wait to heal further and to get my life back to walking and moving around better. I’ve walked the longest I have been able to in months without pain in my legs after surgery, I’m truly blessed to have Dr.Sefter and the nurses looking out for me! Thank you ALL so much and for showing so much empathy towards me!
