This was a second-opinion, after visiting a different system and doctor. Dr. Selley (and team) provided a vastly different experience, which was great. He was knowledgeable and approachable.

He reviewed our files before coming in to see [patient's first name]. He listened and took notes and did a while evaluation of her. He also explained things well so she and I could understand them. We live pretty far away and Dr. Selley made sure we could get everything done that day so we didn't have to drive back to Chicago.

Please above. Dr. Selley is THE reason I feel confident about may recent health experience. I have been told by my PCP Dr. Caroline [ ] and Athlletico at 24 East Chicago Ave. that Dr. Selley is an excellent surgeon, Based on my experiences and swift recovery, I can only agree. Based on three office visits and two hospital visits -so far - his exemplary medical knowledge and his generous sharing of it carried me through the somewhat traumatic occurrence of sudden and acute hip pain and the unavoidable need for surgery after so many years of living with hip dysplasia. I foresee a great future for Dr. Selley and wish him every success in the future with profound thanks, [Patient's name]

Dr selley is amazing! He is so knowledgeable and speaks to you in a way to make sure you're understanding of what is happening. He answers questions with ease. He prepares you for what is to come and how to recovery. I do not recall speaking to him after surgery, although he did check on me and spoke to my person with me. He explained everything in detail and called to check in on me q couple of days after surgery. I am so impressed and am so extremely thankful for this doctor, his PA Meera and nurse Kelly. Everyone was amazing.
