Dr. Simmons is the BEST.! He always has a smile for you, asks how you are doing; then he listens to what you have to say, he is a very polite Doctor out of all the doctors I have seen for the last 6 years, and I have seen a lot. Getting no help other than Dr. Simmons.

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.
