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.

Amazing!
Dr Semones is knowledgeable, personable and works with the patient to meet her or his health care needs. One feels both heard and seen.

My first visit with Dr Semones. I very much appreciated him listening & giving his thought. He was attentive & acted like he cared & actually wanted to help me. Even ordered the appropriate tests. Most Dr’s don’t care anymore & act like you’re a burden & send you to other Drs. I really do appreciate Dr Semones & would recommend him to others.

Dr. Semones is wonderful. My sister recently transferred to him and really likes him as well. He listens and believes his patients. After many years of doctors not believing me he discovered that I have a rare genetic condition. Thanks to him I have a much better quality of life.

A fairly new doctor in practice. Keen to recommend lots of tests at first visit which is overwhelming and costly. Likes to change prescriptions but not reponsive when there are issues with these drugs. Biggest problem is with medical assistants and office mgr.- difficult and unwilling to resolve issues and respond to online system as happens in too many medical offices.
