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.

Dr. Semenoff is the very Best.
He has helped me so much with my back surgery and other people I know wouldn't go to anyone else. I wish he was still in Albany,NY. I have read in his other reviews how many people he has helped and I am in agreement with them all. Thank You Dr. Semenoff from us all. I still mention you to any Dr. I have met.

Excellent surgeon. Listened to my complaints and history, explained the MRI results, and the surgery needed to correct my problem. He was kind to me and my family. The surgery was successful in alleviating my pain. He followed me for at least a year after the surgery to make sure that I didn’t have any further problems.

Dr. Semenoff is, what I refer to him as, a miracle worker! He rescued me! I couldn't walk, stand, lay down without terrible pain. I can now ski, bicycle, walk, run, just amazing. I suffered for 2 years before I was brave enough to have surgery. I should've done it sooner. He also, is the nicest, most caring doctor I've ever come across! Just fabulous!

Dr. Semenoff gave me my life back eighteen years ago! After all of these years, I'm starting to have some issues. I wouldn't want anyone but Dr. Semenoff to work on my spine.

Dr. Semenoff was extremely attentive in listening to my history and spent time explaining the results on my MRI. He did not recommend surgery or medications in my case and gave me solid clinical recommendations regarding next steps in the recovery process. Although it took 3 weeks to get an appointment, seeing him was worth the wait.

Dr. Semenoff performed a 4 level fusion on my lumbar spine. I went from being almost totally disabled to being 90 percent within a few months. 18 months later, I am mobile and pain free. He is an expert surgeon and has a kind, gentle manner. All procedures are explained in detail and all questions are answered in an unhurried way. I would never consider anyone else.

Extremely compassionate bedside manner. He removed my pituitary tumor without an issue. He came highly recommended. A fellow neurosurgeon asked me who was doing my surgery and when I told him Dr. Semenoff, he said that is who he would have do any surgery he needed. It sounded genuine and judging by Dr. Semenoff's satisfaction ratings, he's clearly an excellent, experienced choice.
