SUNY UPSTATE MEDICAL CENTER

Initially I really liked Dr. Semeran. He was pleasant and caring in the office during my prenatal care. Rough with exams and rude during delivery. Told me, “you’re not pushing hard enough” (I’m a Labor & Delivery nurse… apparently he had somewhere to be). At 6 week follow-up appointment I asked him about having my tubes tied and he said, “you’re too young for that” and promptly turned his back and walked out of the exam room (I was just shy of 31 years old, two previous miscarriages). I have never had a doctor be so dismissive. I never returned.

Went in for a consult regarding post menopausal and excessive bleeding. The staff were very friendly and the Dr took the time to explain how she would like to proceed with further testing and an exam that were done on the same day as the consult . I was impressed she even took the time to come in to observe the ultrasound for a better understanding of my problem. Then scheduled a telehealth appt for my follow up so I wouldn’t have to travel an hour out and back for the results. So far I am very happy with her office.

Treats his nurse horribly. Rough exams that leave you in pain and bleeding. He should be investigated. Wouldn't recommend to anyone ever

Dr. Semeran is the best! Very personable and compassionate towards both myself and my baby's needs. Even with complications during pregnancy and delivery I was comfortable with his ability to make everything okay. Over all he exceeded all of my expectations for a doctor in his field of Obstetrics & Gynecology. I would recommend him to my friends or closest family and I have.

Great!

I met this man 3 hours before he delivered my daughter. I told him I didn’t want any residents and he looked me in the eye and told me he would personally deliver my baby. Turns out he let a level 1 resident “Meg” deliver my daughter who suffered birth injuries. I found out about this resident by getting a copy of my chart and reading her delivery note and then researching her name. He lied to my face. His main concern is his students/residents, not you, your wishes, or your baby.

I have been a patient of Dr. Semeran for over 20 years. I have found him to be very attentive, honest and caring. His staff is excellent. It is a small practice where they really get to know you. He is very up to date with the current medical advances and easy to talk to about your concerns.

He is truly amazing! He took very good care of me during my pregnancy.

Have been a patient of Dr. Semeran’s for 25 years. He is caring, professional and never rushes me along, careful to address any issues I may have. He has been my doctor through two pregnancies. His staff is always friendly and professional. I’d recommend anyone seeking an OB/Gyn specialist to make an appt to see Dr. Semeran.

Called on a Monday around noon, got a message that they were on lunch. I left a message for them, stating the problem I was having (which I needed to be seen urgently for.) Tried calling again before they closed and was told they had left early, and left another message. Never heard back from anyone until Thursday. This is unacceptable especially considering the problem I had been having. I had to schedule and go to an appointment with a different doctor at a different practice. Will not return.

Dr. Burke was not forthcoming with her knowledge or care. I got terribly sick in my first trimester with the flu and upper resp tract infection. My fever spiked to 102 and I went to the ER. When I was finally able to get in the to see her I was still short of breath, wheezy, and emotional as I was relived to finally be able to be seen by an OB. She told me if I couldn’t collect myself I’d have to leave. She had cartoons of doctors with chainsaws hanging above her patient exam table, too.

Dr Semeran is very caring and concerned about both my partner and I being comfortable during our prenatal visits. Most of the staff are very friendly, and have remembered me since our first visit. I had complications early in my pregnancy and the nurses always returned phone calls very quickly. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that occasionally the staff aren't fully prepared at my appointments, requiring me to help provide info about previous visits or sometimes delaying test results.

I have been a patient with at Dr. Semeran's office for 20+ years, he delivered all three of my babies and I have always felt so welcome at his office. Wonderful doctor and staff.

Dr. Semeran and his staff are all so welcoming and caring. I love being a patient there. They are always there to listen to your concerns and help!

Dr. Semeran was very thoughtful and attentive to me the patient and providing the best care possible. Also have very caring office staff.

I have never had a more uncomfortable, belittling, and disrespectful experience with a doctor. I'd been experiencing trouble with chronic pain and all of my concerns were belittled. I was told months of being in pain without knowing the cause wasn't a big deal and that I needed to push past it. Every concern was met with condescension. He also made comments about my looks which were meant to be complimentary but made me extremely uncomfortable. Needless to say, I will not be seeing Dr. Semeran
