Vascular Surgeons of Central New York

The staff are kind; the nurses are compassionate; and the doctor takes the time to listen to me, his plan of action is logical and reasonable. The group made me feel like part of a team, not just a customer or a burden. Outstanding group of professionals!

My son had a fistula put in by Dr. Semel and we went days before his actual follow appointment because he had are of incision swollen and red. My son ended up being admitted at Crouse was there for almost a week and when they discharged him incision was even worse than how it was when he got admitted. Today he went back to Crouse he was admitted again, no pulse in that arm and poor circulation. I keep calling his office they keep saying we'll call you back and no answer. No call backs

Dr semmel is clueless, like I literally had to tell him my symptoms 3 times and this is my second visit and he hasn't provided any answers/insight. I'm actually shocked my primary care provider recommended him. would even say hello or anything, he actually walked into my room recording on his device info about another patient...the. Just went on to feel my pulse and say "ok I don't see the problem here" and Told me I need a neurologist. That's it?? Can you explain why? I have an artery blockage and he said I should come back when I'm 50.

First time being there and I thought they were right on. I had all my paperwork done and they checked everything when signing in. They called me right in for my appointment. Fixed some issues with the information that someone else did and had messed up family history. Fixed that and the Dr was right in and I explained what was going on and he checked it all out and told me what made sense to me and I understood why thing's were going on. They did a great job and was very friendly.

I have Marfan syndrome. I had already had 4 heart surgeries prior to Dr.Kahn. The first surgery he did went well. Three months later I had to have another one. 2021 I had to have more vascular work. I knew it would be a long recovery, however as a chronic illness/pain patient I knew something was wrong. Every time I would make the 2 hour drive to st.joes ER, he said this is just how life is going to be. In November, I went to upstate because I had a feeling he wasn't telling me something. The entire vascular department was horrified at what he had done. In marfans, our connective tissue is different. He put stents that are absolutely not for marfans and a bunch of other problems. Due to his ego, I have a AAA that is inoperable. I'm 37, waiting to get approval for hospice. Besides that, his secretary forgot to hang up the phone, I then listened to her make stuff up about me and laugh for a good 20 minutes. Please, go somewhere else otherwise you might end up like me 37 years old 5 foot 10 and 105 pounds, wasting away. I lost 70 pounds in a few months due to his negligence.
