All the staff is very kind and compassionate and help you out every time. Dr. Simmons is the best orthopedic I've ever had. I've recommended, I even took my mom to him before she passed and he treated her like a queen. I've recommended at least six people to go to Dr. Simmons. And I just received a letter saying he's no longer going to be there. It's your loss and mine too.

What else would you like to say about your experience?
Look, I've been going to Greg Simmons for probably 20 plus years. He gives a lot of warmth, pays attention to you, sit down and talk to you, understand what the problem is. What I like about Greg is he's not knife happy, and I don't mean to push a surgery. He wants to do everything he can before we can go into surgery. He'll have covered every base with you and what we can do, what we can't do, therapy, cortisone injections, exercise, something to help us out. But he's very thorough, and like I said, he listens. That's the main thing I like about him.

What else would you like to say about your experience?
Dr. Simmons is a very thorough and caring provider who listens and explains the structure and function of my knee joints and causes for pain and stiffness. He understands the strain and secondary impacts placed on other parts of the body that have to over-compensate for the pain, stiffness, and limited mobility in the treated areas or joints, and he strives to improve the quality of life for the whole patient. He orders X-rays as needed and provides helpful information about changes in my condition and provides a range of treatment options to aid improvement. He truly cares about his patients, and he has an excellent bedside manner that is both rare and refreshing !! I am very grateful to be under his care. He is a keeper !!
