Everyone was very kind and friendly and professional. Dr. Simmons was very helpful in helping to alleviate the pain that I was experiencing in my right hip and explained everything and answered every question that I had about my condition. So I was very pleased with my service and as I always am and my family is as well. I think four of our members

I love the way the nurses and Dr. Simmons treat their patients. I've had problems with having a provider and I didn't get the care that I get with him. He's very, very likable and he's very, very on his job. I wouldn't trade him for anything. I understand each and everything he explains to me and he has a lot of care and concern and that's really heartfelt. I love Dr. Simmons. I've recommended a few people to Dr. Simmons and the staff as well. They're great.

All the staff is very kind and compassionate and help you out every time. Dr. Simmons is the best orthopedic I've ever had.

And I just received a letter saying he's no longer going to be there. It's your loss and mine too.

Apr 8, 2026
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.
