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.

Extremely satisfied!
The staff was welcoming and efficient. Although the waiting room seemed busy, we each were called back quickly. Dr. Simard and his staff were great. He explained everything to my understanding. I received two shots and prescribed PT for a bit. Overall a great experience.

Best knee replacement surgeon
Dr. Simard has replaced both of my knees and I have not had a problem with either one of them. He always takes time with you to make sure he has answered all of your questions and that you understood every thing he told you.He is the only orthopedic doctor I go to.

Amazing experience
Doctor Simard was amazing. He took the time to answer all of my questions. The office staff was quick and helpful. Samina was polite and took the time to make the perfect next appointment. Mrs. Waston was professional and friendly putting me at ease. I would definitely recommend the Poplar office of OrthoSouth.

Will use him again.
Understood the pain I was experiencing and administered a cortisone injection in the knee. Helped so much. Showed me an exercise to do to strengthen muscles. Advised return visit in 2 weeks as needed. Offered PT as needed. Felt there was good communication and understanding.

Knowledgeable, Honest and Caring
Prior to my visit with Dr. Simard I was diligent in researching him and found that to be true when we met to discuss my concerns. Without question, he met or exceeded what I had read about him. He was quite thorough with his evaluation and left me confident about the procedure I need to have done. Solid guy, and you can tell that he truly cares about you. His support staff exudes the same care and compassion as Dr. Simard.

Recent hip replacement
I had my right hip replaced 5 years and now I needed my left hip replaced. I started using Dr Simard after my previous orthopedic doctor moved. He has been wonderful. I did great with my first replacement so I was not looking forward to this one because I was older and I had a new doctor. Dr Simard and the staff were very reassuring about the surgery. It’s been 2 weeks since my surgery and I am doing GREAT! Pain free and feeling better than I have in months. If you are looking for an orthopedic doctor, I highly recommend Dr Simard. Everyone that works at OrthoSouth is friendly and professional. I loved the surgery center.
