Patient Reviews
Nov 07, 2019
Dr. Simmons, is a good caring doctor. Explains issues very well and has a charming personality. The down side is the long wait at his office. Office staff is ok but does not communicate well. Needs a little more customer service attitude. Doctor had an emergency at 5:30 am. They had time enough to let patients know he would be late!
