I appreciate the doctor's demeanor and the fourth right way that he looks at the job that he's got to do. Very honest very open. What I told him was that "you're a good man Charlie Brown."

I have severe issues with anxiety and can be quite manic. But Dr. Semel is very patient with me and I appreciate that immensely. And he has a very good reputation as a surgeon so I trust him fully.

I love Dr Semel, he's brilliant and offers very helpful knowledge about my health. He asks questions and listens to me. i never feel rushed.

The nurses were very polite and caring expanded what was going happen before hand it went well I would recommend it 👌
Dec 10, 2025
Although I have been told I should be frustrated by the pace of the process, Dr. Semel's thinking and recommendations seem correct to me so far. I actually have no complaints because my case is difficulty -- discrepancies in test results, etc. It's very important to me to be correctly diagnosed since this will have implications for other providers who will help manage my condition and what I say I have to ER doctors during the next health crisis. He seems willing to want to get things correct, too. I hope by the end the condition is solved correctly and without premature closure even if it turns out that I'm not a surgical candidate.

Both the nurse and Dr Semel has great bedside manner and were thorough, kind and professional
Nov 13, 2025
I don't really have any idea of the severity of my condition or the treatment path going forward. I think that Dr. Semel is a brilliant surgeon with an excellent staff, but I haven't been told by anyone of an impending surgery although all indications point to it. Perhaps I should have demanded more information, so that is on me.
