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.

After a very difficult emergency surgery last year, my abdominal area was left scared and displaced. (looked like a sack of potatoes) I was afraid I'd have to live with it the rest of my life. Dr. Simpson assured me that my situation was fixable, and he could restore my core strength and stability, and improve the outward appearance of the area. I'm two weeks out from surgery, and I could not be happier with the results! Dr. Simpson was able to repair the damage, and give me back a quality of life that had been questionable for over 15 months. I'm still healing, but I can already tell a remarkable difference in how I feel, and how I look. Dr. Simpson is a great surgeon and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing to have a surgical procedure done. The entire staff at Roper St. Francis Hospital in Mount Pleasant was top notch, and took very good care of me while I was there.

Appointment mixup had me in the waiting room about an hour. Receptionist said I was not scheduled in the computer, then she entered the wrong time. She said she notified the people in nthe back but no one showed up. Finally I ask if anyone was back there and a person showed up. I will not be back! Was rushed and now have infection in the operation area.

I was in a critical abdominal situation, Dr Simpson successfully removed a portion of my large intestine thus saving my life. He patiently and thoroughly explained the procedure he performed. He’s congenial and easy to talk to.

I cannot thank Dr. Simpson enough for his skill in the manner of which he assured me at bedside and reassured me post operation that all will be alright. I entered Roper St. Francis 08:00AM Monday morning with severe intestinal pain. Less than 30 hours later, Dr. Simpson and I were discussing the successful surgery, pain free! I thank Dr. Simpson and the many hands, legs, bodies and minds that made my hospital stay a success.
