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.

Best dr. all around,
Dr. Simmons takes the time to answer all my questions, as far as I am concerned, he is the best Orthopedic Dr. in this area. I would not go to any other doctor with this health issue.

Effed up my left leg
First he broke my femur. Then he fixed it with plates and screws that worker their way out through my skin. Then the knee replacement got infected. That is when the hospital took my care away from Dr Simmons and sent me to a different Dr at a different hospital. As a result of all this I have not been home in 7 mo and I have not walked in all that time. I have an antibiotic spacer in my leg and no knee. Dr Simmons is no longer allowed to do revision surgeries. Nice guy, great bedside manner but you would be stupid to let him operate on you. Brain dead reception ppl are trying to force me to see him, won't give me an appt with a different Dr.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Simmons. He is the most caring doctor, did my hip replacement surgery. There is a class to take prior to surgery that was very informative. He visited me every day I was in the hospital and rehab, not his assistants. I feel blessed I found him.
