Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

If I could give -100 stars I would
He has the bedside manner of a porcupine who just got sprayed by a skunk. Rude, narcissistic and overall an extremely unpleasant person. Absolutely insufferable “human being.”

Worst Communication Skills
My son was taken to this hospital after an accident. Dr. Simon is in charge of the Trauma ICU unit. It took 2.5 days, a request to see him, and a complaint before he called me because I was tired and left since it took him all day. First thing he said was “ Why do you need to speak with me couldn’t my PA answer all your questions?” This is a teaching hospital and I guess he teaches rudeness and lack of communication. UMASS should not have a physician in charge of a unit like this.

While he may be tecnically capable, Dr. Simon's bedside manner and ability to show compassion to people losing a loved one leaves a lot to be desired. I hope that no other family experiences the pain this doctor inflicted on my family. He threw a temper tantrum and stormed out of the room.
