Patient Reviews
Oct 19, 2024
Dr. Semel is one of a kind. Top of his field and left me feeling comfortable about the femoral bypass surgeries (3) I've had to endure over the past year. My body rejected the first 2 surgeries and this 3rd one has seemed a lot better and I'm finally healing quite nicely. Thank you Dr. Semel.
