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

I have an artery blockage and he said I should come back when I’m 50.

They did a great job and was very friendly.

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
