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
Dr.Sims is always very thorough and takes his time to answer all your questions. My son sees many doctors, I can tell that Dr.Sims remember my son and his medical history. He listens to all my concerns and helps look for answers. I’ve never left an appointment feeling confused or ignored. Also my son is very comfortable during the exam, Dr.Sims is very calming and will take breaks if needed.

Setting the Standard for Pediatric Care
Dr. Sims is exceptional. He dedicates time to discuss new milestones, listens attentively to our concerns, and imparts valuable expertise during appointments. We made the switch to Dr. Sims when our son was a month old and he is now four. We can't imagine having a different pediatrician. Highly recommended for his personalized care and expertise in pediatric health.
