Dr Wolfson this is Reeds brother Stephen. Thank you very much for the kind words. You´re absolutely correct. Reed was a kind compassionate person and I miss him everyday. Every little bit helps. Thanks for making my day better.

I don´t know if anyone will read this, but it´s 2025 and I just found out that Reed Seligman passed away. My daughter just got accepted to DO school, and some of my friends were asking me, "What exactly is a DO? Is it like an MD?" And I told them-honestly-the best cardiologist I´ve ever met in almost 30 years of practicing medicine was a DO. His name was Reed Seligman.

I met him when he was working in Cartersville, GA. As a primary care physician, I´ve known a lot of cardiologists, but Reed was different. He was a kind, compassionate human being, and he had a deep, powerful understanding of medicine. He used that knowledge every single day for the good of his patients-many of whom probably never realized how lucky they were to have someone like him taking care of them.

He was the only cardiologist I´ve ever known who would actually pick up the phone from the ER and say, "Hey, I´m seeing one of your patients with chest pain-can you tell me their lipids and risk factors?" Simple questions, but essential ones. And no one else ever asked me. Just him.

Rest in peace, Reed. Your memory lives on-not just in your patients, but in your colleagues too. You made a difference, and I won´t forget you.

Bro - You know I miss you more than words can say!!!! You are never far from my heart. When I used to walk at Lake Lynn in Raleigh, a single hawk would often follow me.
