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.

Excellent doctor, physician assistant and nurses
Dr. Simai is an amazing and knowledgeable doctor. Mr. Kahlani is an excellent physician assistant and nurses are amazing. I have trusted this practice since my children's birth.

Both my wife and I are physicians and the only doctor we trust for our kids care is Dr. Simai! His knowledge is exceptional but as important are his bedside manners and personality which are truly stellar. If you are considering Dr. Simai as your pediatrician... it’s a no brainer, you will be thrilled with this choice!

Dr. Simai is the most caring, professional doctor I have ever met. He combines the patience and charm of an old-school doctor with the education of a recent graduate. My kids HATED all doctors until we switched to Dr. Simai's practice. Now, when one has an appointment, they all want to come along! His office staff is amazingly friendly and flexible.

Very educated and up to date. Dr. Simai is all smiles and caring towards his patients and understands the parents' concerns. He is attentive and listens. Dr. Simai knows how/when to reassure versus the time to look outside the box. Staff is friendly and warm towards the kids. Highly recommend!

Staff is super friendly and courteous, very helpful. Very clean office. You are always welcomed with a smile, especially when you schedule your appointment ahead of time. There is little to no waiting time. My children love going because they get organic lollipops and stickers as prizes.

Dr. Simi is a fountain of knowledge. He is caring, spends suficient time for a full evaluation and what is most important he answers all of your questions. He is open to hear about non-conventional methods of healing. Most doctors are closed to what they did not learn in medical school. He is patient, calm and does not make you feel in a rush when you are in the examinning room.
