I am writing this review after having been skeptical of podiatrists in general and visited no fewer than four before making choosing Dr Seslar. I needed foot surgery to realign my bones which involved inserting two pins. If it didn't work out well, I'd be pretty bummed for the rest of my life (!). Don't let his low key nature fool you - he is absolutely on his game. He told me exactly what we could do, explained it all in understandable terms, offered me all options, and came up with just the right plan. The operation went perfectly and so did the recovery. No problems whatsoever

Dr Jon-Paul Seslar is a great podiatrist!!! I brought my 86 yr old Mom in to see him and he was Wonderful with her!!! He understands the pain from feet and shin/leg problems. My Mom felt cared for and felt so much better walking after the visit!!! I would recommend Dr Seslar to anyone who needs help in this area!

Dr. Seslar has talent!! His office is clean and the receptionist is very kind. My foot had a callus that made walking unbearable. I visited my podiatrist who simply scrapped away at the core and sent me home saying that I could come back as much as needed. She mentioned that I gave myself plantar fasciitis and heel spurs since I was not putting weight on my callus as I walked daily. This was not my first visit to her and I clearly needed a professional to assess me, so I asked her to refer me to one. Reluctantly she submitted my referral.
The very next day my foot was in pain again! Unfortunately

I came to Dr. Seslar with bone spurs in my big toe. We scheduled surgery and I came back a few days afterwards for a followup and then scheduled another followup for a month out. When I came back in a month he looked at my toe and started pulling the stitches out. THEN! he opened his laptop and said, "Oh! I thought it's been two months..." That was about three years ago and I STILL have pain around the incision site where the stitches SHOULD HAVE stayed in for another month. Too late now for me, but hopefully not for you! Find a podiatric SURGEON to do surgery, not just a DPM

A severely disturbed individual. I took my 13 year old to see him almost 2 months ago for his chronic ingrown toenails. He started describing in absolute detail how he would pull out the nails from my sons toes. My son was horrified and didnt want to do it that day. After I explained in detail everything that occurred, our pediatrician was shocked and tried a referral for a different specialist.
Unfortunately, our insurance denied any other doctor.
Two weeks ago, I called and scheduled the in office surgery procedure which would be spraying the freezing agent, numbing with local anesthetic

Dr. Seslar helped in identifying the source of my foot pain resulting from a motorcycle accident. He was very kind and friendly and seemed very knowledgeable.
After waiting a couple months to see if the issue would resolve on it's own, he addressed the issue with an out patient surgical procedure. The surgical procedure was a little scary, but he was very supportive and his skill was very clear in terms of the short time required for surgery and for healing afterward.
I am very grateful for being referred to Dr. Seslar.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with Dr Seslar. He is a friendly individual, but was not a good listener. I was very clear that I was experiencing a lot of pain in my right heel and ankle. But, even after he looked at X-rays taken at an urgent care facility, saw a bone spur protruding into fresh, and the accompanying swelling he did not consider my discomfort. He did not order an MRI, but instead recommended an ankle brace to see if that would reduce the swelling. Then he said to come back and see him in six weeks. He did not talk about icing the area or even using otc ibuprofen

I came to Dr. Seslar with 2 broken toes. I had already been to urgent care a week before; they had taken x-rays and sent them to a radiologist who identified the two fractures. The urgent care people gave me a special shoe to wear and told me to see an orthopedist in a week.
Dr. Seslar was great. I called a bunch of orthopedists looking for someone who could see me. Few of them even called me back. His office called me back the same day and even squeezed me in that same afternoon. Although x-rays had been taken by the urgent care people, Dr. Seslar insisted on taking his own to confirm the

Friendly, decent waiting time, and I felt like he actually listened to what I had to say. He took an X-ray on the spot when the one I had gotten had failed to make it to his office. He was able to give me a plausible explanation for the foot pain I have been experiencing daily for two years, while several other doctors told me there was nothing wrong with my foot despite my complaints of pain. He gave me some moleskin pads to wear on the soles of my shoes for extra support and it's helped alleviate the pain to some extent. May revisit him soon to discuss surgery.
