Abstract: We construct two infinite families of knots each of which admits a Seifert fibered surgery with none of these surgeries coming from Dean's primitive/Seifert-fibered construction. This disproves a conjecture that all Seifert-fibered surgeries arise from Dean's primitive/Seifert-fibered construction. The $(-3,3,5)$-pretzel knot belongs to both of the infinite families.
