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.

He sent me to therapy which was extremely expensive! I was 6 & 1/2 months into the injury. My face was starting to swell & all of this was coming from my shoulder. According to my research, with the type of injury that I am experiencing, therapy should have taking place no later than 6-8 weeks into the injury. The pain, swelling, & inflammation is RIDICULOUS! Dr. Sedlis never even wrote or suggested anything for the swelling or the inflammation. I am currently seeking a second opinion...

He misdiagnosed my condition and sent me to months of expensive physical therapy that made my condition worse. His first idea was to cut me open for what turned out to be a stress fracture that needed to heal with a splint. After many painful months of therapy, I finally got a second opinion and proper care elsewhere.

He did everything possible to get my daughter back on the field without sacrificing or damaging her any further. Very well pleased with the treatment and results of our care.

care philosophy

As a primary care sports medicine physician, I believe that the whole body cannot be healthy unless each part is healthy. I provide non-surgical musculoskeletal care to athletes at every level of competition as well as non-athlete patients.
