Doctor was great. I was able to actually sit down and have a discussion with him and have my questions answered. At another health system, I feel “managed” and my own input on my own care is disregarded or not brought up. Ancillary staff did not sit down with me and review my current meds.

Dr. Simotas is one of the best doctor’s I’ve interacted with at HSS. He’s primarily focused on healing, whereas others jump right into discussing elaborate, expensive surgeries. As someone who’s nervous following many prior surgeries, he made me feel really comfortable.
