    This practice is absolutely amazing from the front desk staff to the medical assistants, taking you back to the doctor and of course the doctor himself! They tell you each and every step that you're taking where you're going what you're doing what it's for even something as simple as vital signs which we've all had our whole lives. They make sure you have understanding of everything and always ask if there are any further questions or anything else that they can do for you while you're in the office. This practice certainly could give lessons to other practices on how to treat your patients. Every single time you walk past someone they look in your eyes and say hi or good morning which makes such a difference. It's those personal touches which make them stand out.

    I really appreciated Dr. Sekel's recommendation for me to get a pulmonary function test after sharing with him that whenever I have a virus or a cough or flu or anything like I currently had for the visit, it takes me two rounds of medications to really get it out. I seem to have a problem, you know, really kicking these things to the curb and that's something that I've always shared with providers either at urgent care or when I come in for a PCP visit, but no one had ever mentioned this to me before to get tested to see if I might have even just a mild case of asthma. So I really appreciated that insight from him and have the test scheduled for next month. Overall, it was a great visit and I had great feedback overall.

He can be strict (in a good way) he just wants the best for u and ur health. He may get serious, when u don't get the tests he orders !! He's very knowledgeable really does care! But under that serious face is the kindest most caring, man I have ever met!! Doctors now a days?? They just wanna get u in and out. Not really engaged to what ur there for!! But don't worry everyone Dr Sekel is the total opposite. So to sum this up?? If ur looking for an awesome doctor and staff give virtua family care in Sewell a chance!! U won't be sorry. And I'm sure u too will be writing a positive review for the best ever doctor and staff!! I promise u will love them and be happy u chose them!! I definitely am!!
