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.

Though Dr. Simmons is currently treating me by having my blood tested every three months and meeting with me and my wife with results, I am happy with the plan. He helps educate us as to what is and could happen. He is obviously knowledgeable which helps us deal with my illness. He will to explain things and answers our questions with all seriousness. We appreciate that.
