David Gergen Stages Come Back
Recently, Dr. Rein and Dr. Seltzer oversaw the sleep apnea portions of the overall screenings for the HOPE Program launched by the Living Heart Foundation. Between the screening in New York and the screening in New Jersey, over 25 retired players attended. Since joining the “Tackling Sleep Apnea” campaign, together they have had five retired NFL sleep patients and are continuing to treat more.
Dr. Rein and Dr. Seltzer who are both backed with Diplomat status in the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and over twenty years of clinical experience in oral appliance therapy, have found themselves among the most qualified dental sleep medicine experts in the New York area. What has pushed them to the top, though, has been their involvement with Pro Player Health Alliance and partnering with NFL greats.
After treating local legends and Super Bowl champions Bart Oates and OJ Anderson for sleep apnea with an oral appliance, they have solidified their reputation. Partnering with Pro Player Health Alliance has opened the door to working with Living Heart Foundation, founded by Dr. Archie Roberts.
