I like to tell Dr. Rich that he both cures and heals, the best possible conversation. I trust his medical knowledge, cautions, and advice. If he needs to prescribe meds or give a shot, its curative. But his healing is when we talk about human things, person to person...when I asked him for a prescription to help me as a senior with ED issues, and I told him about my love, he told me "I'm so… See more

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Seidt
When we moved 4 years ago, I dreaded leaving my Doctor of 22 years. He was excellent and I was concerned whether I could find someone who took as much interest in my health. This Doctor also cared for my father and brother, both with heart issues. Fortunately, another brother recommended MDVIP as he was a patient in Virginia. I decided to give it a try and researched the various MDVIP doctors… See more
Last year I had pulmonary embolisms and I don’t know where I’d be without Dr. Seidt. Having such a major health problem was extremely difficult to go through but from the minute I got sick Dr. Seidt was involved in every step of my long and scary journey. He went above and beyond to help me both physically and emotionally, something I’ve found to be rare these days in medicine. Dr. Seidt took… See more

Dr. Seidt has been working with me to help me understand my condition as well as my overall health, and has been very… See more
I was somewhat reluctant to join MDVIP until I met Dr. Seidt.
He is a true professional and I love his bedside manner.
He is very knowledgeable and has helped me understand what it takes to live a healthy life.
I always look forward to speaking with him because he is so positive.
Dr. Richard Seidt is our family physician. A few years ago, I was in the Grant Hospital emergency room when a young doctor walked in and informed me that my X-Rays for an unrelated problem revealed a possible pancreatic cancer. You can imagine my reaction -- and my wife's. Shock, fear, etc. It was a Saturday night and we didn't know where to turn. Given our MDVIP membership, we… See more
What would I do without Dr. Richard Seidt? In the years, Dave, my husband was alive Rich was always there for help, support, and advice. Since then he has seen me through my own health issues.

I have some unique health conditions. I began seeing Dr. Seidt many years ago on another doctor's recommendation. Dr. Seidt has always been responsive to my medical concerns and he is a great communicator. By changing to the MD VIP model, he is more available than ever before. He and his staff are very informed, warm, welcoming, and professional. Thank you for the great care you provide… See more
