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.

I have been a patient of Dr. Simplot's since he began practicing. He has always been kind, thorough, and professional. His surgical skills are excellent. Around 15 years ago he repaired the results of a previous surgery by a different ENT and the results have been fantastic! Now, my daughter has been to Dr. Simplot, has also undergone surgery for the same situation (septum, turbinates, polyps, etc.) and she's doing great! Whenever I recommend an ENT, it's always Dr. Simplot.
