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 Bed Side Manner and Talent
Dr. Simon was the finest professional as well as talented physician. Paula is very knowledgeable and works to make sure all appointments and visits are scheduled correctly and promptly. Dr. Simon makes sure all of his patients feel comfortable, calm and at ease. I had a hernia in my naval that he took care of promptly and with great follow that puts me at ease. He also made sure I was aware that I could call him anytime if I had a question or issue. Excellent experience!

Caring, Compassionate, and Top-Notch Surgeon
Dr. Simon performed a Divinci Robotic Laparoscopic removal of my gallbladder. The procedure was quick and I did not require pain medication after leaving the hospital. Dr. Simon has a great personality, bedside manner is fantastic, and the way he explains everything to the patient is right on point. So happy I chose Dr. Simon to perform my surgery. His staff is friendly, and caring, and ensures patient privacy is respected. Would highly recommend Dr. Simon to anyone who requires surgery.

I consider myself blessed to have found Dr. Simon and his staff. It was so nice to discover that Dr. Simon and I have similar roots in that we have a common background having both lived in close proximity in Beaver, PA. many years ago. It was really great to be able to reminisce with him. The best however is the fact that I found him and his efficient staff! I recently had surgery via laparoscopy for the removal of my gallbladder. You might say that I am a bit of a harsh critic because I have 50 years of experience as an RN - so I know of what I speak when I tell you that Dr. Simon is the best and I’m truly thankful to have found him!

Great experience
The doc removed a 6-7 pound lypoma from my hip. Everything went exactly as he described. His staff is terrific and answered every question I had. I can't say enough good things about all of them. I'm picky and delighted they were recommended to me!

Easy to get an appointment
Went to Doctor Simon with stomach pain as well as just learning I had a lot of Gall Stones. Doctor Simon said surgery was needed. Was able to schedule the surgery within 2 weeks of the diagnosis. I only wish he had taken the time to go over the surgery results with my husband and/or myself immediately after the surgery. The only information we received was from the recovery nurse that everything went well.

General Surgeon
I sincerely hope no one is in the need of a surgeon. If the occasion should arise, I highly recommend Dr. Irwin Simon. Office wait time is very minimal and staff is friendly and professional. On your first visit he will explain the entire procedure and answer all your questions. He did my surgery a couple of weeks ago. He and his team were fantastic.

Dr Simon performed robotic non-invasive surgery on my double inguinal hernia. Everything was perfect. His office support staff, his technical expertise and surgical knowledge are extraordinary. I felt very safe and secure before and after surgery. My 10 day follow up confirmed that the hernias were both fixed and I was able to return to competitive cycling just two weeks after surgery. I unequivocally recommend Doctor Simon.

I had conferenced with others surgeons about my condition before meeting Dr. Irwin Simon. I admired Dr. Simon's bold confidence during my first office visit. He was exceptionally skillful in surgery, and I am grateful because his success was my success. If you are reading this review, I know how much you hope you can find the most capable surgeon because that's where I was. You can't go wrong with Dr. Simon. I have lived in the Las Vegas Valley for over thirty years. I have experienced a long line of physicians here. Don't hesitate to receive care from Dr. Simon for hernia surgery. He accepted a lot of responsibility to repair all the damage I needed repaired. He has the medical intelligence that comes with being highly experienced. And that was reassuring from the start and during recovery. Dr. Simon's staff is a pleasant and efficient working team. You won't just see it, you will feel it, and I don't need to tell you how that will translate to your successful surgery.

Excellent surgeon! I have worked in the Operating Room for over 25 years and have worked with 100s of doctors. Dr. Simon is at the top of my list! He is experienced, knowledgeable, and has an excellent bedside manner. He thoroughly answered all my questions and concerns, he was a wonderful advocate for me in the hospital, and I had an amazing outcome!! I had a Robotic Gallbladder procedure and I was able to go back to work in under 2 weeks. I had a wonderful follow-up, his office staff are kind and professional; Dr. Simon really put me at ease, assuring me that he was available for me if there were any complications. I trust him with my life and really can't say enough about how this unexpected experience was turned into a positive one! I recommend Dr. Simon to everyone!

Hospital surgeon for emergency gallbladder Dr. Simon is so caring and knowledgeable. Quelled our fears but shared everything that could go wrong, but did not. Very knowledgeable, and experienced. Also, very compassionate. Hope to never need him again, but if I do will be in very capable hands.

Had a procedure in the office yesterday. Very impressed with this doctor and his staff. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Simon (and his staff) - it is so nice to have a doctor who will talk "with" you and not "to" you! I feel comfortable with my treatment here, most doctors tend to make me nervous but because of the great communication, it is easy to trust Dr. Simon.

I was referred to Dr. Simon by my personal physician for the repair of a double hernia. Dr. Simon and his staff are pleasant and helpful. The office is very efficient with little or no wait time. He recommended robotic surgery and I was very pleased. It was minimally invasive with little down time. Virtually no pain, just abdominal soreness for 3-4 days. I would highly recommend Dr. Simon.

After being referred to Dr Simon for surgery and having a great experience, I had my husband go to him for a procedure. His experience was wonderful too. Then, I additionally returned to Dr Simon to have him perform all the varicose vein treatments on me. Dr Simon is a competent clinician and skilled surgeon with expertise in many areas. His office staff is organized, efficient and pleasant. I am very glad to have found this practice.
