“After being in pain everytime I ate for over a year, and multiple doctors not listening to me, Dr.Selim finally did. My surgery was quick and easy, he did such an amazing job and I would not use anyone else. He has done surgery on multiple family members of mine, one in which shouldn’t have survived her surgery but was sitting up the next day thanks to Dr.Selim. He explained everything very well, and answered any and all questions I had. He spent time explaining everything to me and made sure I was comfortable and prepared for surgery. Best surgeon around, hands down.“
