Dr. Seretis lives and is active in his hometown community of Woolwich Township. His wife has a Masters degree in Physical Therapy and provides care for Gloucester County residents and they have three young children. During our interview, Dr. Seretis took us from his early years, while working as a bus boy at local restaurants.  He was the first one in his family to ever go to college, and to top that off, he went on to graduate from medical school and ... well .. the rest is history. His story was fascinating and enlightening beyond what I had expected. We discussed everything from his educational journey through high school to his years during his undergraduate studies at college, and then onto Medical School and beyond.  We talked about the cost of Medical School, the challenges of paying the loans off, starting his own practice (and what it takes to be not only be a doctor ... but the owner of your own business). Yes, he is a "business owner" as well as a doctor. If you're considering becoming a doctor, his story will provide you with a wealth of useful and beneficial information.
