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.

Highly recommend
I had an outstanding visit with Dr. Simone and couldn’t be more pleased with the level of care I received. He was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also warm, attentive, and truly took the time to get to know me. His thorough explanations and compassionate approach made me feel comfortable and confident in the treatment plan. Dr. Simone's genuine dedication to his patients is evident in every aspect of her care, and I’m grateful to have him as my physician. Highly recommended!

I also am very perplexed by the low ratings and reviews. My husband & I have been seeing Dr. Simone for over 15 years. He is kind, compassionate, a good listener and very knowledgeable and skilled as a physician. He is always available and prompt when leaving messages on the patient portal. Dr. Simone does not hesitate to refer you to a specialist if he feels that more evaluations are necessary. My husband and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I am so confused about the last review. I am a woman and Dr. Simone has been my Dr. for 20 years. He has helped with my anxiety and always validated how I felt. He never seemed rushed and I am so grateful for the excellent care I have always gotten.

I felt that he thought I was wasting his time. He was not able to see what was going on with me. Not a good doctor for women. He was so bad I am now leaving Scripps.

Dr. Simone has been my primary care for 20 years. He's smart, informative, quick witted at the appropriate times. Most of his office staff have been with him a long time and are caring and personable. How could he possibly have 1 star reviews? This site is questionable.

I don't understand the negative reviews. Dr. Simone has treated me for years and I am very happy with his medical advice, his willingness to take whatever time is required to make a thorough diagnosis, and when needed more urgently, he creates an appointment within hours or days.
