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 was excellent. He was kind and Knowledgeable about my radiation treatments. He took the time to answer all my questions, and I completed the treatments with ease. He is a great doctor, and I am thankful to have him help me through this difficult time.

Less than impressed! Every time my mother would ask a question about her cancer or treatments, he would divert the conversation to talking about himself, all the places he trained and his girlfriend. My family was discouraged to ask questions because I've trained with the best of the best. He did think highly of himself but he will never take care of any of my family or friends. I can see why he has worked in several different states in a such a short time.
