Patient Reviews
Oct 21, 2024
Experienced breast cancer surgeon. Dr. Simmons was reassuring. She has a forthright manner and I felt comfortable with her. She told me I would not have to have general anesthesia for my lumpectomy, only sedation, which was a big relief. I found her to be respectful of my concerns.
