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.

Last visit with Dr Simmons. He is retiring and I will miss him. Happy he was my Dr.

My mother is 90 years old and very wary of doctor visits and invasive medical procedures. She needed a pacemaker and allowed it in large part due to Dr. Simmons’ wonderful bedside manner and professionalism. He makes the medical profession look good.

I was in the office for cardiac work up. Everyone was great. Dr Simmons took the time to talk to me and go over any questions or concerns I had. The Front and back office staff were very kind and helpful
