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.

Wonderful doc. Can’t say enough about my entire experience.

Dr. Simmons is personable, smart, and professional. His easy-going manner made him easy to understand and trust. He and his staff are friendly and interested in your health and who you are as a person. It is easy to see that he will not recommend unnecessary testing or treatments. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an orthopedic doctor.

Dr. Simmons preformed my spinal fusion to correct a major grade scoliosis when I was 13 years old. I am now 22 years old and my back problems have subsided 99%. He changed my life and made sure that my life would be easier than it was. He made sure that I would be able to still carry and deliver children when I got around to it and now that I am pregnant with my first child, I am much more grateful than I have ever been. I had developed a staff infection a week after my initial surgery and when we brought it to his attention he told us to come to the hospital immediately for a second surgery. His wife and children whom he was supposed to be on vacation for the summer with were waiting in the waiting room with my family. He stopped everything he was doing to clear my infection. On top of all that, we NEVER received a bill for the second surgery. He is the best surgeon that my family and I could've ever asked for. Highly recommended to say the least.

Meet with Dr. Simmons who has good communication skills. He explained to me that my back hasn’t got any worse than it was. It’s still up to me when I decide for surgery.

I visited the office for a second opinion for a difficult spine operation. Dr Simmons was VERY professional and took his time reviewing my films and explaining the issues that needed to be repaired. I would feel quite comfortable having him do the surgery if I needed a different Doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Simmons since 2010. He is a wonderful doctor and surgeon. I had two back surgeries, 2011 and 2012. The first to help with my scoliosis and the second to repair my hardware in my back due to a car accident. Both surgeries were successful. He is a great listener and I would recommend him to anyone with back issues.
