Dr Simmons is a fantastic doctor. Makes you feel at ease and he’s very easy to talk to. Listens to you and asks your opinion which is very rare nowadays. You feel like you are included in your health decisions instead of just being told what to do.He never makes you feel like he’s in a rush. Wish he was my primary doctor
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Nothing. Just keep doing what you’re doing

Dr Simmons is 1000 times better than my last ortho. Last guy refused to do any treatment and didnt even examine me - only looked at xrays and made a decision. Dr Simmons was compassionate and took time to thoroughly examine me and note problems that CAN be addressed and develop an effective treatment plan.
