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.

Great doctor
Dr Simon truly listens to your concerns and takes the time to explain his thoughts. Had major surgery with Dr Simon and I would recommend him.

Never saw him
I was recently hospitalized after a fall and diagnosed with a broken shoulder. However I was in extreme pain anytime medical staff stood me up and my bp crashed. After four days at my insistence an MRI was performed and found 5 breaks in my hip and pelvis. He never saw me when there was no diagnosis for the pain and bp drop. He never examined me. I NEVER saw Dr. Simon who was treating me during the six days i was hospitalized, despite repeated requests to see the orthopedist. I would not recommend him based on the delay in diagnosing the breaks in my hip and pelvis, and that he never examined, nor talked to me.

Brilliant surgeon, plus he's extremely kind and un
Dr. Simon is the only doctor to really take a chance on trying to help me. Before i saw him nobody was willing to even try fixing my back but Dr. Simon layed out all my options clearly and made sure i understood everything that was going on. He made me feel at ease and comfortable, despite getting some tough news and he managed to make me feel confident about this procedure and his capabilities as a surgeon. If your doctor wont listen to you, Dr. Simon will!!!

It takes MONTHS to get an appointment, even if you are in extreme pain. Then no one calls with any test results for WEEKS. Then MONTHS again to get an appointment to review test results. Will I get treatment to relieve the CONSTANT PAIN at the appointment that I waited more than 2 months to get? I am guessing not, that it will have to be a separate appointment, waiting another 2 months, bringing me to 6 months of CONSTANT PSIN AND OUT OF WORK.

I feel entirely comfortable in trusting Dr. Simon to listen carefully and develop and execute an appropriate treatment plan and execute it to the highest standard.

Highly recommend!
Dr. Simons is the best. He listens, provides understandable information, explains things carefully, and has a wonderful bedside manner. He’s funny and humble while being a top notch surgeon. It’s difficult to face the need for spinal surgery so his approach of caring, humor, and empathy eases one’s anxiety.

I saw Dr. Simon for a second opinion. He listened to me completely after reviewing my chart and images. He gave me good direction for me to be able to get a complete picture that he would need should surgery be needed. He also informed me what that surgery would be as well as why and how it would be performed. I found him quite informative and confident on my potential procedure. If needed I will definitely have Dr. Simon preform the surgery.
