Dr Simmons and his team are always very helpful. I couldn't ask for a better care team. They read the ER report and were prepared for another broken bone. I am so thankful to have them since my bones break so easily. I don't know what I would do without them. They truly care about their patients.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
Dr. Simmons couldn't have been nicer. He was very soft spoken, did not rush explaining the procedure I was going to have done. My sister was with me, and because of the thorough explanation Dr. Simmons did, we had only 1 or 2 questions. He did not push me into making a particular decision, left that up to me. Very nice people we meet yesterday.
