“For every complaint I had, Doctor Selassie had a solution!”

I had every menopausal symptom you have ever heard of, hot flashes, sleep problems, and low libido. I felt like my doctor was fanning me off by telling me it was just part of getting older. Meanwhile, my husband and sons were making jokes about me that I did not find funny. In the past, I could usually laugh things off, but I was feeling crazy, not understanding what was happening, and was worried about my health. That’s when I found Dr. Selassie whose approach was warm, caring, and non-judgmental. For every complaint I had, she had a solution!  It did take some work and I had to make changes in my life, but I got through menopause! With Dr. Selassie’s encouragement, I now feel like a winner! I am calmer and proud, and I feel unshakable.  I am living life on my terms.

“I am sleeping much better.”

Hi Dr. Selassie, I just want to report that I am sleeping much better.  I am no longer waking up in a sweat, having to change sheets and shower in the middle of the night.  I am not going to say that I am sleeping like a baby because a baby needs to be rocked to bed and wakes up often.  Instead, I would say I am sleeping like a wise woman who has not a care in the world!

“I know God placed you in my life for a reason.”

I just want to say thank you so much for your kindness towards me and my family. I want to say congratulations to you and your husband.  I pray God will continue to bless you and your family.  Especially your brand new baby. I don’t take what you do for us for granted. I love you and you will always be in my prayers. I know God placed you in my life for a reason. I know by God’s grace you will continue to impact this world and change lives for the better. You have made such a positive difference in our lives. Thank you, Dr. Selassie. You are greatly appreciated!

“She gave me the power to regain all my strength.”

I’ve improved even since our previous visit and I’m walking very naturally now and eating much better. Your initiation into my improvement was the key which you turned that I needed and may God bless you for that. I look up things about diet . . . and I have the intention to regain all my strength. So kudos to you for being my really great doctor! Have a blessed day!

“Doctor Selassie worked with me and understood me”

I am Orthodox [Jewish]. I work with Doctor Selassie a long time ago, maybe 10 years ago. I was in pain and a pain to work with — I told her I needed kosher supplements, needed to try everything she suggested first, then give feedback.  I am suspicious of everything, and I complain. Anyhow, she worked with me and understood me and I got better.

Then a business associate of mine, who is Muslim, was not feeling well. I sent him to Doctor [Selassie]. After his visit I asked him how it went. He said, “I appreciate that the doctor is culturally sensitive.” This made me laugh, but I tell him, yes, it is true, maybe because she is New Yorker, maybe not, but anyhow, maybe she can work with everybody, every type of person. That is nice.

“I feel Doctor Selassie understands me.”

Also, I want to thank you again just for you. You have made and continue to make a big difference in my life. I not only consider you a doctor but a friend with a large heart, and a kind and humble spirit. I feel you understand me and I know you certainly support my well being and health.”

“I will never forget working with Doctor Selassie!”

Dr. Selassie helped me a lot.  She is very warm-hearted. I have closed angle glaucoma which has caused me vision problems. I will never forget when I told her “I want to see until the day I die.” In response, Dr. Selassie recommended that I should say instead “I want to see as long as I live.” So, this is how I pray now and I see that her recommendations are working.

“I found the warm, caring manner in which you listened to me very comforting.” 

I want to thank you so much for helping me.  I found the warm, caring manner in which you listened to me very comforting.  You explained clearly what other doctors could not.  The nutritional program you created for me has changed my life.  I came in to you feeling exhausted and fatigued.  I now have physical energy and mental clarity. Thank you again.

“I count Doctor Selassie as a practitioner that I can trust.”

I consulted with Dr. Selassie about many medical issues particularly my anemia and uterine fibroids.  She is not only well informed on my condition but she was able to provide me further information and holistic alternatives and products with which to address my condition.  My energy level has increased; my fatigue decreased.  I count Dr. Selassie as a practitioner that I can trust.  Thank you, Dr. Selassie.
