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.

I love coming to see Dr Simmons. I learn more with each visit. Although it's daunting to find out you have chronic kidney disease. Seeing Dr Simmons makes it easier and less stressful. She reassures me when I have not been the perfect patient.

Dr. Simmons is the best Nephrologist, (in my opinion.) She was my husband (Raymond Cox) Doctor for approx. 8 years. We chose her because of her passion for her patients. She gives so much to see that her patients have the best of care. Raymond and our four adult children loved her. I recommend Doctor Simmons for your Care. Thanks, Janell Cox

She is always so thorough with our visits and she listens to all of our concerns and addresses it or makes recommendations. We can't say enough good things about her and how she managed our care and concerns. Other doctors could learn a lot from her!!!
