Dr. Felinski and her staff were a very professional and caring team.
I love Dr. Felinski. She is absolutely awesome!
In all situations, very professional and good treatment.
I just think Dr. Melissa Selinsky, she is one of the best doctors I've ever had, and I've had a lot of surgery. She's real patient. She's kind. And she's very, very helpful. I tell you what, I'd be lost without her. I'm considering moving my primary care so that I could be close to her, because I live in Liberty, Texas, and I've been going to Beaumont since 2014, and they've jacked up my body. But it took Dr. Selinsky and her team to definitely get me better. I had a gallbladder that's been bad since 2019, and I've been to five different hospitals, and they've been tossing me around. And Dr. Selinsky said,
Love my Doctor
Excellent
Always treaded with care & made to feel welcome,I love that they greet me by name immediately before I even sign in no matter that I'm 20 minutes early!Feels like they know me even though it's been months since I've been there.
Staff was very friendly and welcoming! Thank you very much to Dr Felinski! Dont know how life would of turned out without you! Thank you all so much
Our experience with Dr. Felinski, her staff, and front desk has always been a delight. There's nothing better than having a cohesive and supportive team while dealing with chronic illness. Their care they provide is top notch and like no other. That is why we continue to come back here for treatment. They treat us like family and the care from Dr. Felinski is exceptional. We cannot rave enough about this facility!
The entire experience was amazing from the front desk staff to the doctor herself. She was amazing. Listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. I'm excited to see her again.
She's awesome. I like her so much. She's very professional. No improvement needed. She's very respectful, kind, and made me feel very relaxed and like I know what's gonna happen next and she just made me feel listened to and I like her so much. She's very good. Thank you.
The staff is amazing. Dr. Melissa Felinski is one of the best surgeons. I would recommend any of my family members and friends to see the hospital that I have been. Thank you guys again for being such amazing people, and thank you for helping me out.
Dr. Felinski and her team members provide.
Fantastic
Dr. Felinsky and Stacy her medical assistant and the nice woman at the front desk are always so nice.
Very nice Doctor and staff, I hope we can workout the insurance issue, so we can proceed with this care.
Dr. Felinski is a good listener and a caring doctor. She takes her time to listen and respond.
Sooo grateful that this visit could be online
Dr. Melissa Felinski saved my life I don't know what more could be said than that, of course her office visits are top notch. 10's across the board.
My experience with the staff and the assistant Stacey was horrible and would make me never want to come back again. The wait time was 1 hour after my scheduled appointment and no one gave me any updates. The care is terrible and neglectful
Amazing service and Dr. Felinski is highly knowledgeable, personable and an incredible surgeon!
The only issue I had was with my my UTHealth app I am unable to login to it for some reason. [...]This is the email phone # and the DOB that should be used on the account. If you could be so kind as to reset everything and allow me to reset up the account that would be lovely. Thank you,
I love the bedside manner that she takes out time to see how u and ur family r doing just asking about them means she listen to what u r saying
Doctor is very experienced with so much patience love her service
I saw a fellow doctor prior to Dr. Felinski. He listened intently ask good questions and was not rushed. Dr. Felinski was very personable, a good listener, and took time with thorough explanations. She asked if I had any questions and gave me hope for a plan that would take care of my problem.
The most remarkable experience I've had with a doctor in a very long time, I felt very comfortable. I felt like she personally knew me. She took the time to read my chart, knew exactly what I was there for. She even looked at the details of my chart and noticed that there were some things that were done twice in two different ways, and she was able to pick up on it and just handle it. She was very, very professional and knew exactly what she was doing, and I really appreciate that coming from a surgeon who is going to be performing a surgery or a service for you, and that was very commendable.
The doctor and her staff were welcoming and I felt very comfortable and at ease during my visit.
I love Dr. Fleninski!! She treats me with so much care and I would recommend to everyone if I could. She very knowledgeable and straight to the point ( in the best way). I also love the front desk staff, very nice and knows my name and always make sure I have a great visit every time.
Loved all staff
