Dr. Semrau has over 40 years of experience as a dentist and has been serving our community by providing exceptional dental care since 2008. He developed an interest in dentistry at a young age and was determined to fulfill his dream.

After serving with the United States Navy aboard a submarine, he paid for his education through the GI Bill. Dr. Semrau graduated from dental school from the Marquette University in 1972 and opened his first practice in California in 2007, after which he moved to Kalispell in 2008. He continues his education every year by spending over 25 hours on courses, often at the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles.

He is laser certified and is a member of the American Dental Association and the Montana Dental Association. Additionally, Dr. Semrau was proud to be featured in the Montana Womens Magazine Men of Integrity article, detailing his life, accomplishments and contributions to our community.

Dr. Semraus goal as a dentist is to help patients get optimal dental care in a competent and caring manner. Today, as the owner of Parkway Family Dental, he is proud to meet the needs of our community with comprehensive dental care that is both compassionate and state of the art.
