Dr. Simon Reviews
Based on: 1 review -Add review
I got an appointment when I needed one.
They kept things moving and on time during my visit.
I received a correct diagnosis and up-to-date treatment.
I was given specific advice on lifestyle changes I can make to improve my health.
The provider really listened, gave me the time I needed, and put me at ease.
We discussed treatment options and choices I have.
The provider addressed traditional and alternative medicine treatment options in an open-minded way.

Waited for TWO HOURS in the waiiting room. Finally got into an examination room. Nurse was not apologetic for the wait. ...She said they were short doctors or some such. Doctor came in finally and examined me. Rather gruff but I was his last patient of a long day. Still could have been a little more concerned and amiable. Scheduled surgery after one visit and tried to talk me into laser surgery. I really got the impression I was part of a "conveyor belt" kind of medicine. Didn't care for him or his style of care and would definitely not recommend to anyone. more details
