Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Doctor! Great Staff!
I've been going to Dr. Semler for years, and it's always a good experience. He's friendly, provides a thorough examination, and he's never in a rush while answering my questions.

Underrated & the choice of many medical providers
When I saw his Healthgrades ratings, I was shocked! Douglas Semler, MD was recommended by our pediatricians, primary care physician, an endocrinologist and ENT specialist, all who said Semler's their 1st choice dermatologist. My experience for the last 9 years has been fantastic, as it has for my wife, children and friends we refer to him. Dr. Semler's calm and friendly manner, diagnoses, treatments, prescriptions, etc. have been at the highest level of any practice with which I'm acquainted. His office staff is the best of all the practices that I've used. As is the case where online ratings are anonymous, the loudest and most outraged have a disproportionate influence on published ratings. In this case, 21 people unjustly represent this negative bias. He sees that many people every workday. Dr. Semler has droves of satisfied patients who need register their ratings to accurately reflect reality, where many physicians rely on Semler for themselves, their friends & families.

Took a very long time to get an appointment, they cancelled it the day of the appointment and offered a replacement appointment 3 weeks in the future. Were not accommodating. Told them I would be going elsewhere and was able to get an appointment with an alternate Dermatologist that day once I had explained the circumstances.
