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 !!
