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.

Dr. Simmons is the best there is, he's smart, intelligent and humorous and he really knows his craft plus he is caring and considerate as well. He spends the time it takes to get to know what issue is bothering you and prescribes the best solution to deal with your problem. He has been my doctor for many years, and I hope he keeps his practice here for as long as I'm around. Could never imagine finding someone to replace him.

Excellent clinical skills, very thorough, always willing to consider lower cost alternatives to medical tests and prescriptions. Dr. Simmons is a doctor who other doctors use for their primary care needs.

Dr. Simmons is a very kind and caring man. It translate into his private practice as he takes the time to talk to you about what is going on in your life that could be causing some of your ailments. I highly recommend Dr. Simmons to family and friends. I only wish more doctors were like him.

I have been with Dr Simmons for many years. He is attentive and able to connect well personality wise. My only beef is not with him but the need to use technology. More time is spent by him completing on-line questionnaires than actually talking to me. The front office staff could be a bit warmer. A common issue that I have seen with small offices.
