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 Semones is a skilled, empathetic primary care provider

Felt rushed thru entire 15 minutes. Was not given a explanation as to why my message had not been replied to on my chart. I had sent a message 10 days before, so it is why I made a appointment in person.

Dr Semones was personable,listened well, ordered the appropriate tests to determine state of health and personally addressed any concerns with several different options. All said and done, it was a visit which gave me confidence that I found a very good replacement for my old primary care physician.

Dr. Semones was very thorough in her examination & evaluation of my health condition. She even studied my past health history when my X-ray looked strange & discovered damage my lungs incurred last year due to blood clots.

The visit with Dr. Semones was the best experiance I have ever had, she was understanding and listened to what I had as far as concerns. My previous visit was rewarding in the fact that I was treated wrongfully, but after visiting DR. Semones I was cured of a probable life threatening form of skin cancer. I want to thank Dr. Semones for her help on this site as I have done in person to her. I will recommend anyone who needs help to her.

Ms. Semones shouldn't even be allowed to be called a doctor. I have wasted two years of my life on this woman trying to get help. All she does is pawn you off on other care providers. It's like she doesn't know how to treat her patients. She is a disgrace to doctors everywhere and she needs her license revoked. DO NOT SEE KAREN SEMONES. FIND SOMEONE ELSE.
