Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He is my loved ones dr and although she loves the doctor his staff is a nightmare. They are downright ignorant to his patients. No follow up, hang ups, eye rolling and I have BEEN present when this occurs. Having worked for cardiologist who worked directly under HVHS I am appalled that their behavior has been allowed to continue as is. If indeed anything happens to my loved one, until she can obtain a new physician I personally will hold them morally and FINANCIALLY responsible !!!

Doctor Simons takes his time with patients and answers all questions, the staff at front desk are aweful, do not return phone calls, hang up on calls, no follow thru, the staff in back office are always pleasant , due to the poor follow up on critical patient issues and lack of caring for their patients from front desk including rudeness, eye rolling and sighs. I am sorry to say I would be sure of your needs before recommending this office
