Dr. Lee A Selznick, MD

very thoural

He listened and took his time with me. He was great.

This is the first day in well over 5 years that I have woken up without back pain. Thank you Dr. Selznick for helping me!

I saw Dr. Selznick last December. He identified two problems from my MRI. He was honest in that my other health issues precluded fixing both. He suggested which problem to fix first and the procedure was scheduled quickly. The outcome has been great and my hand pain is now manageable.

A good experience. My first visit. Nice and explained things thoroughly so I could understand them.

Life changing, for the good!

Dr Selznick is one of the best doctors I've ever seen for anything. He really listened to me, he went over my MRI and my options. We eventually decided surgery was our best option. The day of surgery he made me and my family comfortable and at ease. I dont think I would have trusted anyone else to do the surgery!

I had a disc herniation at L5-S1. Dr Selznick performed a laminectomy / discectomy. I went home same day & was walking that evening. I only missed 2 weeks of work (office environment). My leg pain (sciatica) was relieved immediately. My recovery was uneventful. The people at VA Brain & Spine were wonderful to me. They helped me navigate all the insurance approvals & were on time for appointments - short wait times. I definitely recommend Dr. Selznick & VA Brain & Spine.

first visit and the dr and pa was great, took time to listen and explain. very much appreciated his concern and taking time to explain.

Dr. Selznick is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to have during my pain and suffering. Explains everything in a very easy to understand manner. The staff is very nice, pleasant, and helpful in every way! I am so glad to have been recommended to them!

Excellent he really cares & explains what he's done

Was happy to have Dr Selznick guiding my recovery. Had full confidence in his expertise.

100% all the way

I saw Dr. Fergus about the implant of a neuro stimulator for chronic back pan. I was told to have the needed trial. My pain DR. in Hagerstown did a successful trial, I liked Dr. Fergus a lot but learned Dr. Selznick had more experience with tis delicate surgery where screws etc. are inserted in the spine. I call them and asked to see Dr. Selznick for the surgery and was told I could not change doctors in the practice. This is insane I have the right to choose the most experienced doctor. I will not go back to them bust have the surgery in Fairfax. They are very rude, there is NO reason a fully insured patient cannot pick his/her surgeon. Stay away

The care I have received at VB&S has been exceptional. In 2007 Dr. Chadduck performed brain surgery on me to remove a brain tumor. His expertise and bedside manner is none I have ever received. In 2008, I had another craniotomy by Dr. Chadduck. I would never consider any other NS b/c of the excellent care he and his staff have given me. His NP Julie and receptionist Tiffany, are also the greatest!!!! Cathy SimonBrain Tumor Survivor

I cannot comment on the staff. Only on the treatment of Dr. Fergus. I went to him for a period of two years only to have him recommend pain management. I had 8 spine injections with no relief. When he suggested burning my nerve endings I decided to get another opinion. Thankfully I did, and now I am seeing a wonderful neurosurgeon from D.C. and will be having spinal fusion surgery, after much pain and suffering for the past several years. If I would have stayed with an uncaring physician, only concered about collecting money and NOT patient health (the oath he swore to honor) I would still be in pain. Please for your own health do your research for the best Doctor.

I must start by saying I only have very good things to say about the Dr.'s in this center. I saw two different one's and both were friendly, professional, and caring. The only problem I had is with Dr. Selzick's receptionist. She was rude, uncaring, and very unprofessional. Evidently, I am not alone in this opinion as several people I know who have dealt with her, said the same thing. All she cares about is getting your bill paid. She NEVER returns phone calls or even answers her phone. She lets it go to her voice mail and never calls you back. You don't know if your doctor got your message or not! They are the only brain and spinal center around so if you need them you will unfortunately have to deal with this rude women. Good Luck!
