As of March 2026 his office closed with a sign on his door! No referral. No notice. He was my Dr for over 15 yrs. Never thought he'd do something like this. My last appt was February 2026. He never mentioned closing. I had monthly appointments for a couple yrs. No access to my medical records which I need to find another Dr so new Dr will have a medical & rx history for me. This is abandonedment!

Dr. Semble is a great doctor! The staff is very nice, but sometimes Rita is unfriendly, but I will continue seeing Dr. Semble!

Very thorough Dr.. When I was having back problems , in a great deal of pain ,he was concerned and suggested that I should push for my family doctor to do an MRI at which time I was correctly diagnosed with a slipped disc. I am forever grateful to him ,as my rheumatologist and for caring for my overall health..

A very gentle and courteous man. He will take his time and explain everything out for you, he listens. His staff is the nicest staff I've ever encountered from a long list of medical professionals I've seen through the years. He also treats other family members and we are all equally satisfied and very fortunate to have him as our physician. He is a one of a kind of doctor and we need more like him.

He spent less than 5 minutes in the room. He was unconcerned about new symptoms and disregarded my concerns. Basically all about handing out pills and collecting his fee, not in helping his patients.

another RA doctor is not interested in treating all he wanted to do is pain meds.

Gruff, uncommunicative; constantly in-and-out multitasking with other patients. VERY dissatisfied.
