My second pregnancy was a scary one. On the weekend of my 36th week, I woke up with my sheets wet with sweat, but yet I was shivering. Dr. Seidel was on call that day, and he told me to take my temp, which was 102.6. I headed to the hospital, where I spent the next week. I had blood drawn, which showed an infection in my bloodstream, which was dangerous to me and the baby. They worked hard to find a antibiotic that would kill all three strains of the bacteria. By Friday, I was doing much better, so they decided to induce me instead of sending me home. Monday would be the 38th week, and they didn't want me to go past that since I had gestational diabetes, and my first baby was 8pds 15oz. When they started the medicine to induce me, my blood pressure when very high, and each contraction was putting stress on the baby. They had to do an emergency C-section, and I was fortunate for that since the cord was wrapped around my son's neck twice. After four days, I went home with a beautiful 7pd 9oz baby boy!! When I got home, that was the HARDEST part. POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION set in really quickly. I called Dr. Seidel, and all I could do was cry. I couldn't sleep, and I didn't want to eat. I felt like someone had died. I was in such a dark and depressive place. Dr. Seidel talked to me, and was so very caring, compassionate, and understanding to what I was going through. I will NEVER forget how he gave not only me, but my mother, encouragement that I would eventually get better. He's not only a great doctor, but a great person as well!! I can't thank him enough for what he did for me...

Nothing to rave about at this office. They are a typical business of health care. I left the office to do a home birth. After 3 months they finally realized I had not been coming for appointments. So they called and when I stated I was continuing my care for home birth the nurse said ok, Ill take you out of the system. You see its all a system, numbers, money, whos insurance they can count on. My baby did go breach on me but with the help of chiropractor she turned back down, allowing us to have a wonderful home birth. However, what if she had not turned and I needed an md. Well too bad at this office they deleted me out of the system. Wake up people, health care sucks in this country! The doctors do not really care about you, your an insurance plan, money. Dr. Seidel seems pleasant, but that falls short in my opinion. I wish for the good ol days and the country dr visit.

Dr. Seidel is absolutley phenominal. He is a great doctor and just a great guy. He is personable, funny and is willing to take whatever amount of time it takes to insure your concerns are resolved... vey generous with his time. I never thought I would say this but... " I get excited about going to see my OB." haha

Dr. Seidel is the best in the area. He's intelligent, hilarious, he knows what he's doing, he's an all around good doctor. He spends his time listening to whats wrong, wither it takes 20mins or 1hr he never rushes an appointment. And he'll explain things 3 times over if you need him too. I would recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic doctors. Spent plenty of time answering all my questions. Wait was occasionally long, but well worth it. Great sense of humor that put me at ease.

Dr. Seidel released my husband’s personal information to a fertility clinic without his or my consent. My Husband then received a shocking and embarrassing call from the clinic at work making him very upset with me. Thinking this might be a clerical error I contacted Dr. Seidel’s office and was told that Dr. Seidel himself ordered the testing. He went as far as to use the emergency contact information I gave his office to obtain my husband’s name and phone number, I would have never given my husband’s work number for such personal mater. I have changed doctors and advise anyone to be careful discussing fertility problems with Dr. Seidel as he my take matters into his own hands before you have time to talk it over with your partner.

I would follow him and his nurse to the end of the earth. I have been seeing him for years and I would NEVER go anywhere else.

I have never met such friendly doctors with such a great sense of humor who are still able to sustain great bed side manor. You really feel like you are an important patient to each of them rather than that "neeeeext" feeling you get from most other places. The staff including everyone from the receptionist to the nurses are all equally as friendly. I just can not say how much I loved being a patient at this practice.

Both Dr. Seidel and Sheshadri are wonderful. They have delivered all 3 of my kids by c-section and we could not be more happy. When my husband called with an emergency once, they even recognized his accent and knew us by name. As indicated, there is a long wait sometimes which can be frustrating and a few of the office employees can be rude BUT the nurses are wonderful and the Drs are the best. I recommend them to my friends all the time. The time they spend with each client and the personal touch is great.

I was at this office on 4/6, yes there was a delay, but the biggest problem was probably the individual who rated Dr Seidel before me; she arrived late for her appointment and proceeded to be disruptive the entire time she was there. Other patients were complaining to the staff about her!!!!
