Surgeon Testimonial

Eliot Sieloff, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. S was a very good one. He's knowledgeable, kind, soft spoken and he makes sure you know everything you need to know. Him and his office staff are AMAZING!! They are very diligent and make sure you are taken care of. If a problem arises They are VERY good at taking care of it ASAP!! There's nothing I didn't/don't like about Dr. Sieloff. Future patients should know that he will do whatever it takes to take care of you and guide you through the process. He's realistic and he treats his patients like real people, he addresses the risks and assures you he and his team do everything to minimize those risks. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Sieloff and his staff, Jody his nurse is amazing and they are so in tune with their patients! He's not only a VERY competent Surgeon, but his bedside manner is amazing!

Huge wow moment!
posted on 9/14/10 10:58 pm
Yesterday I challenged myself to do something that I haven't been able to do for a VERY long time. A back injury and my increasing weight have made mobility difficult and extremely painful! We have a beautiful lake in the center of town and my husband and I used to love walking around it. Doing so caused increased damage and the impact of the walking was doing more harm than good so my Dr. limited me to water exercise only. The last time I attempted to walk around the lake I barely made it half way and ended up in tears and a lot of pain. That was maybe 6 years ago. Although the pain from my injury remains, losing over 100 pounds takes A LOT of pressure off of the body and joints. Honestly I've been afraid to even try walking the lake for fear of not being able to or ending up in severe pain. Well after trying to talk myself out of it I decided to go to the lake. Not only did I make it around the lake but I walked it TWICE!! 1.2 miles and I felt amazing doing it! This is a HUGE wow moment for me because just 6 months ago walking from my bedroom to the bathroom was a challenge. My back and body hurt but I did it and I plan on doing it again! I'm no longer sitting on the sidelines!
