I was experiencing serious eye infection & I was able to get in to see Dr. SEMEL very quickly. She diagnosed & prescribed meds, which are very quickly healing my eye. The location has plenty of easy parking & the offices are very clean & well designed. Pleasant staff also. I had another appointment, different date with Dr. Julia Larson, OD, to check in on my MGD condition, and all was well, & the recommendations from the doctor had helped improve my situation. She takes her time & is very through with the exam, while explaining in detail what condition I have. She is very upbeat and a pleasure to have as my eye doctor.
Garry G
It was an amazing experience and dr. Semel caring and attentive. She takes time to listen and make me feel important. It’s doesn’t happen with other dr.’s

I usually receive compliments from people after I get Juvederm injections from Dr. Semel. The injections give my face a radiant and youthful look. Dr Semel has years of experience and education in applying Botox, Juvederm, and Voluma and her work always looks natural. I trust the quality of Dr. Semel’s work and always have confidence in what to expect from her. I recently tried a new product from Dr. Jane Semel called SkinPen. One thing I really like about Dr. Semel is that she always stays on top of new facial and neck products for women. SkinPen is the latest in technology to help the neck and face. It’s not an injection. Before the treatment, my face was gently cleansed. Then Dr. Semel used what looks like a pen and runs it over my neck and every area of my face which feels like a slight stinging that does not hurt. This treatment lasts about 30 minutes. It promotes a healing process of collagen and elastin that continues for months afterwards. My neck and face already look more youthful, softer and natural.

Dr. Semel was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The staff was friendly, and I felt listened to throughout my visits for bilateral cataract eye surgeries.

What a professional, well run office with caring Doctors and staff. They explain in detail what each step of the process will be and put you at ease while they handle exams and diagnosis with aplomb. I have worn glasses since I was six and so I have had wonderful doctors before. I'm so glad that I was able to find Dr. Semel and Dr. Larson after my long time doctor retired. One stop shopping for medications and glasses.
