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 a wonderful caring highly skilled physician. I go to him for his ability to diagnosis and give me the best treatment possible. He knows what he is doing and I will continue to see him until he retires. His staff is also very thorough and professional.

I am a 76 year old female and have been seeing Dr. Simmons for 30 years. He is my primary care physician. He is very knowledgeable and thorough and I just hope that he outlives me because I don't think anyone else could take his place. I have complete trust in his medical care for me.

Dr, Simmons is very dedicated and logical. He does not prescribe medicine just to make you feel better. He will talk you through your symptoms and then make a decision. I would recommend Dr. Simmons to anyone.
