Patient Reviews
May 15, 2024
Dr. Scott Simpson has been my retina specialist for about 5 years. He is an amazing, brilliant MD. He cares about his patients and is willing and able to educate us as much as we are willing to learn. He speaks to me as an equal, and shows me every scan he's ever done, explaining concerns as well as what is going well in plain English (thank you, Dr. Simpson!) and what to do if certain situations arise that may be emergencies.When I had excruciating pain during a procedure with a DIFFERENT ophthalmologist, Dr. Simpson told me he didn't understand why but to bring it up with the other MD. I finally did, and was referred to the anesthesiologist. I learned that pain control failure is very common in individuals with my red-head genetics. No one knows why. I would never have figured out why local anesthesia (including dental) and conscious sedation have failed me for decades if Dr. Simpson hadn't encouraged me to get answers. I highly recommend Dr. Simpson. He is an excellent MD.
