Announcing the retirement of Dr. Scott J. Seidner

Scott Seidner, MDWith sadness, we announce that as of January 1, 2018, Dr. Scott Seidner will no longer be a practicing physician at Cardiology Associates of Fredericksburg. After many wonderful years here at CAF, he has decided to retire and return to sunny Florida. Though he will be deeply missed by staff and patients alike, we congratulate him as he embarks on his new journey.

Dr. Seidner’s patients will be transferred into the wonderful hands of one of our other compassionate, competent physicians, here at CAF. You may request an appointment with a specific physician of your choice or see one of our nurse practitioners who will evaluate your individual needs and assist you in selecting a new provider. We recommend that you consider Dr. Arijit Chanda and Dr. Michael Foster, who joined CAF earlier this year. Like Dr. Seidner, they both specialize in interventional cardiology, and are prepared to provide his patient’s with seamless care.

To schedule your next appointment, please call us or contact us via our patient portal.
