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.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Simmons for four years. We both feel so lucky that our son recommended him to us. Dr. Simmons is highly intelligent, knows internal medicine inside out, compassionate, and takes up a lot of time with each visit we have . He also has a wonderful personality, and is an all around nice person. The only drawback is the wait time to see him, and we both decided he is worth the time to see him!

Dr. Simmons always shows concern, is easy to talk to and answers all my questions. My husband and I are both patients of Dr. Simmons and are very pleased with him and his staff.

My husband and I have been going to this practice for many years but we see only a P.A. and have not seen Dr. Simmons in years. He is not even in the building usually. The P.A. is okay but he is not an M.D. We feel that the M.D. should do the annual physicals at least.

Every visit, I have had to wait 45m to 1:15 hrs. Obviously they have a scheduling issue. Looking for another doctor, my time is valuable also.

Just like any business, some staff members are friendly; some are not. Dr. Simmons, though, is friendly and trustworthy.

Staff is not friendly, slow to help and unprofessional at times. The wait times are long 45- to over an hour sometimes.
