Semrad Sidney E DO Facoog

This Doctor should not be practicing and I would NEVER recommend anyone I know going to him.
On January 30 2008, I felt a lump in my breast. I went in for a mammogram within a couple days and then scheduled and appointment with Dr Semrad.
While in his office he did the physical exam. Felt the lump. Made a joke about hoping my husband liked golf since the mass was the size of a golf ball (4cm)… when I asked what it was or what we do next he said it is just fybrocystic change and nothing to worry about and come back in a year.
In August 2008 I felt pain under my arm and contacted his office when they opened at 9 am telling them that he had assured me it was nothing but that I felt pain under my arm while applying deodorant and needed to get in right away. I was told that he was in with another patient and they would get with him as soon as he got out of the room and call me back. But that he will likely refer me to someone.
I waited and did not hear back from them before lunch so I called as soon as lunch was over and expressed my concern that i was told someone would call me back as soon as he finished with the patient he was seeing and that no one had ever called me. I got the same story. He is in with a patient when he gets out of the room we will talk to him and call you back.
No one from his office called me back until after 5 pm.
I ended up being diagnosed with Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. because of the size of the tumor now 7 cm and it being in my lymph nodes.
had he done his job and cared about me his patient it would likely have been stage 2 and not as advanced.
He doesnt deserve to be caring for patients and patients deserve way better than him
