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.

Dr Simsarian, Is 100% the best doctor I have ever seen. He spent an hour or more meeting with me to discuss my symptoms and concerns. He was patient, kind, and seemed to genuinely care and want to help me. I highly recommend Dr. Simsarian.

I see Dr. Simsarian for MS. He is compassionate, caring, and personable. He has a wonderful bedside manner and makes you feel like you are his only patient. But more importantly, he is highly skilled in his profession, knows all the latest medical advances, and just wants you to be well. He really cares. So does his staff. They are thorough and kind. So happy I found this doctor.

I couldn’t even make an appointment to his practice. I have MS for 15 years and my doctor moved last year so I am searching for a new MS doctor. Apparently they don’t want patients unless they are referred. I said what do you want me to do, I don’t have a doctor now. They said sorry, we cannot help. Worst practice I ever deal to.

In this day and age, Multiple Sclerosis is still a misunderstood and mistreated by a lot of so called Professional. Your difficult path go get effective treatments will be made much easier by selecting Dr. Simsarian or someone like him. I had been a care-giver for someone with MS for 20 years so I have experience in this particular situation.
