As a physiatrist, her focus is to help people who are having trouble functioning in their day-to-day life, usually due to a problem in nerves, muscles or bones.

*** at Registration, ***, Dr. Serel's nurse, and Dr. Serel make an EXCELLENT team! *** was very personable, professional, and explained what I needed to do very well. *** is a very caring, empathetic nurse who is thorough, listens to the patient carefully, and records the information accurately. Dr. Serels is the BEST and is certainly worth the wait! I know that she will give me the same excellent experience that she gives all of her patients. Because of the quality of her patient listening coupled with her keen observation and honed diagnostic skills I came away with recommendations for future exercises to do, when to avoid them, and her encouragement to continue moving toward becoming as a healthy and strong an individual as I can to enjoy my senior years!!! Thank you, Dr. Serels and staff! ***
