Support - Testimonials

"It makes me feel better that you didn't push me aside like most doctors in Denver did. It really hurt me when you would tell a doctor what was going on and they really believe you and basically said it's just in your head. You are a doctor who cares about what he does and cares about his patients. There are not to many doctors out in this world right now that are like you.

I am now able to work, finish high school (which I have been wanting to do forever), hangout with my friends, and even sleep normal now without my pillows around me. If I ever run across anyone who has adhesions I will make sure to refer them to you because you are a wonderful and caring doctor. Your staff is also very wonderful they took us in with open arms, my mom really needed the support because she was very worried about me.

I can't think you enough for what you have done for me. It has been a hard year for me, and because of the time you dedicated to me I am now able to live a normal life. I know that I might have to come and see you at least one more time, but at least I know that when all the pain from surgery is gone I will be able to say that I have no more adhesions or pain in my abdomen."

"I have lived with the pain of adhesions for most of my life. Other doctors I consulted didn't want me as a patient and I felt alone and lost. Dr. Semertzides was a godsend to me, not only as a surgeon, but a person. He takes his time with me, listens, and educates me about my condition...his whole office feels like family to me. I trust him totally with my life, so do my husband and children... I would not be here today, if not for him."

"I was referred to Dr. Semertizides by a doctor who felt adhesions were beyond his capabilities. I was really sick, could hardly function, and I hurt all the time. After my surgery, I felt very little pain and now I have my life back. I can take care of my son and be more active. I highly recommend Dr. Semertzides to anyone who is suffering from the pain and misery of adhesions."

"Dr. Semertzides saved my life, twice. The first time he operated on me the adhesions were wrapped around my intestines. The mesh Interceed, he put in to keep my organs separate lasted seven years. For the second operation, he used a new product and I haven’t had pain in my abdomen since. Dr. Semertzides is a miracle worker. He changed the quality of my life – now I can sleep, eat, and walk around without pain."

"I can't thank you enough for doing this surgery on people. So many doctors have told me that if I had anything wrong with me that they wouldn't want to do surgery because they were sure I had a lot of scar tissue."
