had my daughter with Dr. Seidner, and while my pregnancy went smoothly, everything changed the day I delivered. I had a scheduled C-section, and to my shock, Dr. Seidner used staples instead of sutures on my incision. Having worked in the medical field for many years, I know that staples are typically used for geriatric or obese patients, not for someone in their 30s with no medical indication. I never imagined a doctor would choose this option for me without any explanation or consent. The result was devastating. The scar left behind by these staples was horrific, barbaric, and completely unnecessary. My surgery alone cost over $18,000, and yet the care I received fell far below basic expectations. I absolutely do NOT recommend this doctor. Please ask questions, advocate for yourself, and don't assume every provider will choose the best or most appropriate method for you. My experience left me with a permanent reminder of a decision I was never informed about. read more

BE aware if you are on Medicare and go for your annual Well Woman Exam (G0101) that they don't bill your visit as the Annual Wellness Visit (G0439) which is the code your primary doctor uses for your Annual Wellness Visit. Your primary will be denied payment from Medicare and Dr. Seidner office is useless in getting it corrected. I have been trying for 3 mos. to get this issue resolve because my primary is charging me $236.00 for a visit that I shouldn't be responsible for. I have been a patient for over thirty years and couldn't be more disappointed with the office. read more

I have been going to Dr. Michael Seidner for a little over 4 years now. He is my OB/GYN. Dr. Seidner is by far one of the best doctors I have ever had. Not only did he give me great obstetrical and prenatal care, but he is approachable and listens to my concerns. Dr. Seidner performed a C section for my first born and used staples to close the incision. The scar I had from the procedure was so small that I can hardly see it. Four years later, he performed a second C section to deliver my baby boy and it is wonderful. It healed nicely with no problems. I highly recommend Dr. Seidner to all of my friends when they are looking for an OB/GYN. He makes you feel safe and calm through what can sometimes be a stressful time. He listens to your concerns, he is easy to reach in case of an emergency, and most importantly, he is extremely experienced and knowledgeable in his line of work. read more

Just want to thank Dr. Seidner and staff for all they have done through out my whole pregnancy and delivery. The office staff is amazing, warm and friendly and he has been more than accommodating. Always listened to what I had to say, extremely professional and very personable. He made my husband I feel comfortable and confident through this pregnancy. I had my baby via C-section a few weeks ago and I couldn't more than happier with my results. I have healed well and can barely even see a scar! Thank you for all you have done! My baby boy and I are very healthy - Tamara Dispoto read more

Have seen the doctor about 4/5 times now at this time. He is a gem. He is there for me and my wife and gets to the point. He is very calming and cracks an occasional joke to keep the mood pleasant. His office staff is full of some of the most friendliest stay you can imagine. As a guy I don't go to the obgyn often haha but we definitely got luck on a first pick with them. The office is super clean and quiet. Very relaxing and peaceful. There is nothing bad I can say so far about this doctor and the office staff. I know I can get annoying but they always follow up and keep up with me, which is super rare to find in a doctors office. Most office you will have a staff who can care less, but not here. They follow up with an answer to every question I have and if they are unsure they find out and get back to me super quickly. I would definitely refer other people here!! read more

RN review here. It's taken me 7 years to finally post this review because I'm still so traumatized by my experience with Dr. Seidner. If you want to be gas-lighted, manipulated, called disgusting pets names, and ultimately given an unnecessary c-section, go to this abuser. I came to him while working as an RN at HUMC, 3 years after having had an emergency c-section with my 1st baby. The c-section was due to complications with my baby, not me, and since I was young, healthy and had had plenty of time to heal, I was a perfect candidate for v-bac. The second I walked into Dr. Seidner's office at 25 years old and 14 weeks pregnant, he told me we were doing another c-section at 38 weeks. I was so confused, yet valued his expertise, and for the next several months as I stated my case for v-bac and current research from the ACOG stating that in my scenario under proper observation was considered safe, I received alllll sorts of false information and half-truths from him so he could brush me off. "Oh, I've seen uteruses rupture all the time in these situations", which statistically makes no sense. I was told I was "selfish" because there was a good chance I would die and leave my son without a mother. He even when as far as faking tears because he was, "Just looking out for" me and my baby. My friends kept telling me to see someone else, but his manipulation made it hard to leave. I finally went and got a second opinion from an ob-gyn my friends recommended and the difference was night and day. This OB listened, touted the accurate, published statistics on vbac, and made me an equal partner in my care. Seeing him was enough to snap me out from Dr. Seidner's scheme and have not only one, but 3 flawlessly successful vbac's. I've been an RN for 10 years. When a provider is not comfortable doing something, the ethical thing is to tell the patient and point them to a second opinion. Not lie so they can cash in on slicing them open. Dr. Seidner is not an advocate for women. He's an advocate for HUMC's cash cow of planned c-sections. And he's being reported to the board. read more

After A LOT of research I found Dr. Seidner on my 11th week of pregnancy. I wasn't happy with my old Dr. and decided to change and I was so glad I did. Dr. Seidner and his staff exceeded my expectations. As a first time mom, I had a lot of questions, which he was always happy to answer. Not once I felt rushed or left confused after an appointment. His staff is friendly, competent, professional and amazing. When I came to my 38th week appointment we found out that the baby was breach so I needed a C-section... I was in tears, Dr. Seidner walked into the room, as my husband was consoling me and at that moment Dr. Seidner took his Doctor's hat off and became a caring andcompassionate friend. He assured me that I had nothing to worry about and asked me to trust him, I did. The delivery went great and recuperation from the C-section even better. My C-section cut is so low and small that I have no idea how he even got the baby out! Haha I was also worried about how the scar was going to look, but on the second day at the hospital, I came out of the shower to show my husband how great it looked. I was blown away and I couldn't believe it! Also each and everyone of the the nurses that tended on us, were amazed at the beautiful work that he did. I don't have enough thanks to give him for making this very very special time in my life an enjoyable and happy experience. read more

Dr. Seidner delivered my first in 2018. It was the best experience I could've imagined. My delivery was so calm and Dr. Seidner was so encouraging throughout. I always said I'd do it all over again because the experience was amazing. He always takes his time during appointments, answers any question, makes sure that you are comfortable and shows that he cares. In 2021, I had a miscarriage and he was so heart warming and encouraging. 2022, I got pregnant with my second and I knew that my experience would be just like my first. Unfortunately, he doesn't deliver anymore but his associate, Dr. Alizade, was absolutely amazing. I had an emergency C-section, and Dr. Alizade reassured me this was the best option for me and my baby. I also was referred to Dr. Principe (MFM) by Seidner. He was just as amazing. The team that I had during my pregnancy was incredible and I can't thank Dr. Seidner enough for the team he has. I would definitely recommend Dr. Seidner and his associates any day. read more

1st time seeing Dr. Seidner. I got lost and ended up being over 40 minutes late, but they still saw me. I waited about 15 minutes to get in for my check up. He was very friendly and super professional. I will definitely be back, whether its my annual or pregnancy related. read more

I was a patient of Dr Seidner many many years ago with both of my children. I can tell you that I had mixed emotions about his bedside manner. Sometimes very sincere and compassionate and other times in a cranky mood. He had the sweetest staff and I got the feeling he was a bit rough around the edges, but I still liked how thorough and organized he and his office staff was. I also liked that I felt the hospital nurses were on their toes around his patients which made me feel very relaxed. I had an excellent pregnancy and I although I was pretty lucky throughout I ended up also needing a C section on my first child. I didnt break my water and was not fully dilating and my baby was in distress at this point so a c-section seemed in order and happened real quick. When i was pregnant with my 2nd son 6 months later I was recommended to have another scheduled c-section which totally made sense at the time but it seems as though he prefers c's over natural. Thankfully Both my c-sections went very well and my scars are so minimal and barely noticeable and I have not had any issues with keyloids or scar tissue. All in All i really liked Dr S! read more

My initial visit with the Dr went well. He explained the process to me and spent time on the first day to go over everything. I wanted to know more about having a natural birth and he kept telling me to trust the professionals which I thought was strange. I guess I could tell from that day already that we might not be on the same page. I had a few other appointments with him before I realized that uncomfortable feeling never left. When I requested my records, the staff questioned me on why I was leaving and gave me a hard time. I then paid the fee for my records only to find out they emailed the paperwork to the wrong email address. read more

All I can say is he is awesome Dr. Siedner delivered my first born 17 years ago,hopefully he will be able to deliver now my third born. So excited wish me luck. Great doctor very patient friendly no worries. Wish me luck read more

Dr. Seidner and his team are great! I'm pregnant with my 3rd and I really didn't like the OBGYN that delivered my first two. So I looked up Dr. Seidner and after seeing great reviews about him I decided to visit the practice. Every team member welcomed me with a smile and we're very accommodating. Then I met The Doctor and I was even more pleased with the level of care. Truly felt comfortable and I'm sure I chose the right Doctor to deliver my 3rd. I highly recommend!!! read more

The doctor is great! he was professional, polite, knowledgeable and very gentle. I would definitely go back to him and would recommend him to any female. I was greeted professionally and politely by the staff members at the office. The only issue is: it was hard to locate the building. I circled the area for a while before I was able to get through and speak to a staff member at the office. Once I've done that and went into the office, everything was a smooth sailing. read more
