MY SPECIALTIES
OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY
Dr. Siepel delivered over 1100 babies during his career, making it a significant portion of his practice. He had a keen interest in both obstetrics and gynecology, and learned to perform colposcopies and biopsies of the cervix and endometrium himself.
GERIATRICS
Dr. Siepel passed the examinations to qualify as a specialist in geriatrics in 1985. Geriatric care focuses on health and well-being for older adults, addressing their unique medical and social needs. Dr. Siepel's extensive experience with various patient populations likely made him an excellent candidate for this specialty.
PEDIATRICS
Since Dr. Siepel's practice revolved around caring for families, it was a natural extension for him to continue caring for children after birth. He provided pediatric care alongside his obstetric services for many years.
ULTRASOUND
In 1986, Dr. Siepel developed an interest in ultrasound and took the necessary training to become a registered diagnostic medical sonographer (RDMS) and registered vascular technologist (RVT). He used his expertise in both conventional physical examination and ultrasound to create the "Ultrasound Assisted Physical Examination" (USA-PE), which he published a study on in 1994 with Dr. Thomas Rosenthal, then Chairman of the Department of Family Practice at SUNY Buffalo. The USA-PE combined traditional physical examination techniques with ultrasound to enhance diagnostic accuracy and effectiveness.
MUSCULOSKELETAL MEDICINE
Dr. Siepel pursued an interest in musculoskeletal medicine and took several courses offered by James Cyriax of London, which focused on orthopedic medicine at the time. He learned techniques such as spinal manipulation and joint injections of steroids to help diagnose and treat various conditions affecting the muscles, bones, and joints.
PRIMARY CARE
Dr. Siepel was invited to lecture on the application of ultrasound to primary care at the University of California, Irvine, in 2014. He was considered one of the pioneers of ultrasound in primary care due to his innovative approach and expertise in this field.
DERMATOLOGY
Dr. Siepel also had an interest in dermatology and treated many skin conditions. He performed several skin biopsies and provided treatment for skin cancers. His experience in dermatology likely stemmed from his broad interest in medicine and the various needs of his patients.
