    I was extremely pleased with my office visit with Dr Jeffery Selby. He listened to everything I shared with him regarding my recovery journey and he gave me recommendations. He was pleased with my progress since my knee surgery and complimented me on what all I was doing in the way of exercise, physical therapy and strengthening my hips and knees. Dr Selby stated he wanted me to continue with my program of healing and that I was on the righf track. It was a great follow up surgery visit.

      My visit with Dr Jeffrey Selby was excellent on 5/19/25. Dr. Selby was pleased with my progress and healing affer surgery, and explained from the XRAY pictures step by step exactly what was done during my knee replacement surgery. This explanation was extremely important and helpful to me. He reviewed options, possible next steps for my left knee and answered all my questions and any concerns I had, I was told I could now drive, continue with PT and resume my water aerobics. Dr J. Selby Is caring and very patient, I appreciate him and the great care he has given me. I have personally referred Dr Jeffrey Selby to three other individuals over the years who have also gotten knee surgery and have been extremely pleased and done well.

      I met Dr. Selby for the first time yesterday but had heard very positive comments about him from a previous patient of his. It is obvious that he is knowledgeable, competent and caring. The appointment was not rushed and I left knowing I had the info I needed.
