TOP important and interesting reviews from patients

- I really liked Dr Sellars. I have Duprentren Contracture and did not want to have surgery. He told me the options and we agreed on the needle procedure which he at the same visit. My total time at S.O.S. was less than an hour. The picture is the day after the procedure (the small hole at the base of the middle finger). The result was 90% improvement of the contraction.

- I was called back very quickly. Dr. Sellers was very personable, and explained the issue I was having and the treatment. I would highly recommend Dr. Sellers.

- I was thoroughly pleased with the entire staff. Dr Sellers was very professional and took time explaining things so that I was sure of what I needed to do.
