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.

Just awful
Terrible person, don’t understand how he is still licensed.

Great experience
I'm shocked at the negative reviews - Dr. Semrad has been great to me. He listened to my concerns, discussed my diagnosis, went over options and he talked about risks and benefits to each so I was able to make an informed decision. Procedure went well and follow-up was great. I'm glad he came to our town and hope he stays.

Best GYN surgeon
He was kind and professional. He didn't blow off my concerns. He is a skilled surgeon and excellent communicator.I've spent years (33) suffering to the point of anemia. I had others tell me losing weight would help (I had the same issues at a size 4...) He was professional, and compassionate. Absolutely would 100x recommend him for hysterectomy patients

Rude. Dismissive. Didn't review my extensive history; mentioned my last lab showed I did not have my chronic condition diagnosed by an endocrinologist. Claims chronic pain is "never gynecological". Invited me to seek a second opinion, as it "won't hurt his feelings." Switched offices after being there 12 yrs (with other MD). Do not recommend.

Visiting from out of town and needed a gynecologist. Dr. Semrod was so kind and professional. His staff was able to get me on the schedule very soon and I am most grateful.

Awful physician. Fear-mongers mothers, and gives inaccurate medical advice. Unprofessional to other medical professionals.

I had Dr. Semrad with all four of my pregnancies. He was an amazing doctor who cares about his patients. When I had a miscarriage he watched me like a hawk to make sure my next two went smoothly. Even when I went over my due date; he won’t let me go a week late. I would recommend him. I miss him as my OB/GYN. Thank you Dr. Semrad for taking care of me and my kids.

He was condescending, caused an extremely traumatic birth experience with my first son, when I was barely 18. I still have nightmares about that night 3 years later. I hope Dr. Semrad remembers who I am, and every other woman who was traumatized by his treatment.

Dr. Semrad was my doctor through all five of my deliveries. I wouldn't have gone to anyone else. He always listened to my concerns and took great care of me. He's a great doctor.

Dr. Semrad is rude, condicending, and completely dismissive of patient concerns. When explaining how he would be conducting a laparascopic surgery he used terms like "we're gunna cut a little hole in your tummy." I felt this was really unprofessional. During my post surgery, he popped in for less than a minute and I tried asking him questions, and he completely dismissed me and said I wouldn't remember anyway.

I cannot recommend him enough. I was in a tough situation and had to have a total hysterectomy about 4 yrs ago. I was on AHCCCS at the time and was never treated like anything but a human being by him or his staff. They were all so compassionate, knowledgeable, and great bedside manner. I felt completely comfortable to ask questions, voice my concerns and have a discussion with him about my options. I cannot say enough about my positive experience!

While preforming a robotic assisted hysterectomy Dr Semrad accidently placed a stitch in my bladder which resulted in a vesico vaginal fistula requiring a different surgery. He still to this day has not acknowledged my pain and suffering.
