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.

Appx 10 year patient, service has fallen off
I have been a patient for approximately 10 years. I typically only go in 1 or 2 times a year. Even after I moved an hour away, I kept Dr. Simms because I could always get in when needed. The care was appropriate, and communication was great. I saw a clinic over the weekend and got a steroid shot. I now feel even worse and am presenting with flu or covid symptoms. They wont get me in until next week on Monday. I was floored. I wish I had switched PCP's a few years ago so now I wouldn't be stuck in the wind. I am very disappointed and cannot recommend anyone to this practice as a result. What good is a PCP if you cannot get in when you actually need them? I could easily accept waiting a day or so, but almost a week? That is non-sense. Tell me you no longer want me as a patient without saying the words. This is how you do it.

Scott is a very caring sincere Dr. My concern is for him. I think he is scheduled with too many appointments and it will take a too on his health. He really connects & feels for his patients.
