Selinger Sharon E MD

I have been a patient of Dr. Selinger's for a number of years and find her to be a very caring doctor. I have never felt that she has rushed through an appointment and I feel she sincerly listens to my concerns. Dr. Selinger was recommended to me by several friends and my primary doctor her and I am very happy that I have been seeing her.

I should have known better when it was difficult to get an appointment here as I was looking for a new Endocrinologist. I wish Endocrinologists had an actual person answering phones instead of a maze of an automated phone service but it seems all offices are the same, including this one. I'm Type 1 Diabetic for 16 years and they have gradually gotten worse over the years in terms of attention to the patient. Anyways, I finally got to see Dr. Huberman and he was professional and knowledgeable; the 2 stars are actually for him but he's for sure a 5 star doctor stuck in a 1 star place. Had I actually been able to get in contact with him when I was having blood sugar issues, I'm sure he would have gotten it under control eventually.

Every time I called, I would get an answering machine and they returned my calls twice while being a patient there. Calling is hit or miss. If you do get someone trained to handle medical issues, you either get a nice lady or a lady that sounds like she does not want to be there. If I knew her name, I would post it because of what she said to me and she deserves to be called out for her insensitivity. Since I was having blood sugar issues, I would sometimes ask for a note to take to work because I want to keep my job and not be fired for attendance while going through this. I had a drastic change in my insulin regime and it was taking time to adjust. I guess she must be the one that takes care of the notes and it was too much work for her. She told me with an attitude that my numbers weren't "critical" and it's up to the doctor's discretion if they want to write a note, yet I had been able to get previous notes from them without issues. I've been told some pretty messed up things from staff at offices that are not Diabetics themselves and can't understand but this is just infuriating and insensitive. I definitely held back since I'm not someone to yell at people and just didn't want to stoop down to her level. I've had great numbers for years and now all of a sudden they are terrible. What might not be medically critical to her, sure is to me and I feel it harder than ever since I'm not used to anything over 200 for a blood sugar. My eyes would burn, dizziness would set in, and my entire body would ache, along with other symptoms of hyperglycemia.

What an ignorant and miserable woman; she really should reconsider her choice of field if this is too much work and she is okay with talking to an ill human being like this. Don't ever tell someone that is chronically ill that whatever they're going through isn't "critical". I'm no longer a patient there since a few months ago and I hope they improve their ways.

I recently became a patient of Dr. Selinger and highly recommend her. Her staff is friendly and efficient. Dr. Selinger is a rare find these days-a doctor that truly listens and spends time with a patient. I am happy that I found her.

The receptionist who returned my phone call was really friendly. I wish I got her name. She sounds like an older woman. The only complaint I really have is that it took all day to call them. I didn't want to delay my mom's appointment any further, so I wanted to get it out of the way. I called the Billing Department, and the woman who took the call was also very pleasant to talk to. She told me that they were busy with phone calls all day, so she wrote down my contact information and assured me that they'll get in touch with me by today. Anyways, we booked an appointment for 2 months in advance because all the earlier dates were taken. For such a long wait, we're definitely looking forward to meeting with Dr. Daniel Huberman and his staff :)
