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.

Stay away!
If you want a doctor who is rude, dismissive and curt with no bedside manner and who will make you feel like you're a bother rather than a patient, then certainly see Dr. Seminara. Otherwise . . . stay AWAY.

Donna blew off my sister, told her she didn’t have the energy to deal with all her ailments and classic symptoms, and in doing so missed her diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That spread to her liver and spine If only she would have listened and sent her for the proper tests that was asked of her rather than putting her ego first when my niece, a nurse practitione, suggested an abdominal cat scan, with her response being if you want to order it, you order it. She shouldn’t be practicing

Terrible “Doctor”. Completely misdiagnosed my wife’s condition. Was treating her for back pain and depression. My daughter, a Nurse Practioner , suggested to this “ Doctor” that she order a scan of my wife’s abdomen and pelvis. I believe that the doctor took offense to this( wuestioningThe “Doctor” because her response was “ if your daughter thinks she needs it, let her order it”. So we did. Had the Ct scan done and found out my wife has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. We wasted our time. Don’t wast

The office is a black hole. They do not follow up in a timely manner. They routinely lose documents and fail to execute the treatment advised by the Dr. The hours are very limited. They rarely answer the phone and there is no other way to contcact them. The Dr. is good when you finally talk to her but she is almost completely inaccessible.
