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.

would not recommend. A foot doctor recommend to this doctor for second opinion. This doctor doesn't give a second opinion and ask you to see other doctor. A waste of time and money.

DR SIMON ABANDONED ME IN MY WORST MOMENT. On April 19th 2024 I had a fall and I went to the ER where several Xrays were taken of my foot and ankle and it was determined that I had a serious issue including a closed fracture of navicular foot. Rosa Kane Office Manager of Dr David Simon due to the severity of my issue and the emergency gave me an appointment for April 26th at 9:20am, they also had an appointment for the same day at 12:30pm but Rosa wanted me to go early and I took the appt at 9:20am, In their website they had several open appointments open forApril 25th 2024 at 11:30am and 12:30noon and also April 26th 2024 at 12:30pm. When Rosa gave me and confirmed the appointment Rosa wanted all the documents from my ER visit, Xrays, Xray Report, Dr Report, etc. and to send her all these documents via email. I did send her all those documents and all the information needed 2 minutes after hanging up with her. THE ER DOCTOR STATED IS VITAL FOR ME TO SEE MY DPM DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SINCE I NEEDED FOR MY SERIOUS INJURY AN SPECIALIST WHO CAN DETERMINE THE BEST STEPS FOR MY RECOVERY, FOR THAT REASON THE ER DOCTOR MAKE SURE I HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS TO TAKE WITH ME TO SHOW DR SIMON, BUT HE IS REFUSING TO SEE ME DESPITE OF HAVING AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE ME, ABANDONING ME KNOWING THAT THIS IS PART OF HIS NEGLIGENCE SINCE I TOLD DR SIMON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS ABOUT THE ISSUES I HAVE ON MY FEET AND HE DID NOTHING, HE KEPT SENDING ME TO OTHER SPECIALIST AND WAITED, BUT HE KEPT MAKING MONEY OUT OF ME IN EACH VISIT. Today Thursday April 25th 2024, A day before my appointment, Rosa Kane called me at 8:07am and tells me: "DOCTOR SIMON DOES NOT WANT TO ADD 1 MORE PERSON TO HIS SCHEDULE BECAUSE OF THE JEWISH HOLIDAY AND DR SIMON STATED YOU SHOULD GO TO THE ER AGAIN" ABANDONED A DISABLED PATIENT IN PAIN. Rosa also did not know when Dr Simon could see me EVEN DO DR SIMON HAS ALL THE DOCUMENTS FROM MY ER VISIT THAT SAIDS THAT I HAVE A SERIOUS ISSUE BUT HE DOES NOT CARE. Since he has all the necessary documents, he only had to see me for 10 minutes or less, put on a cast, or give me a boot or tell me what will be the best for me to do, but instead HE ABANDONED ME AS A PERSON AND AS A PATIENT. Since he has abandoned me as a PERSON AND AS A PATIENT I requested my documents so I can go and see another doctor WHO WILL BE CARING AND PROFESSIONAL, but at this moment Rosa Kane stated that Dr Simon is refusing to email me or upload to "My chart" copies of my records and it will take them a long time to send them to me, I am sick of the poor attitude of this Doctor who I have told him for several months about the multiple issues of both of my feet and did nothing to make them better and now I have this issue caused by his negligence. ROSA KANE AS PER DR SIMON REFUSED TO SEE ME KNOWING HOW SEVERE MY ISSUE IS.

I came to Dr. Simon using a cane with pain in my foot for over 2 months and expecting to use a cane for another 6 months. Dr. Simon tested, diagnosed, treated and now 3 weeks later, pain is gone and haven't used a cane for a week. I can't imagine ever going to any other doctor again. Thank you Dr. Simon, you've given me my life back.

Dr. Simon has so far successfully treated two serious issues for me. First, he reattached the multiple breaks in my ankle and second, he diagnosed and treated a serious foot infection before it spread and became dangerous. He has a calming and reassuring bedside manner.

I am more than satisfied with the support I get from Dr. David Simon. Either calling him, or seeing him, in person, at his office, his medical knowledge regarding podiatry has helped me resolve my foot problems I've had. He is the consummate physician!

I had an injury and came to see DOctor Simon. He tooknows extra time to explain everything to me including how ito happened and why was so severe. I knew he had patients waiting but so many questions still and he took the time time answer every one of them. I am pain free now after several months. At no point did I question his abilities or feel I needed a second Opinion. I am very appreciative of my colleague recommending such a great doctor. Highly recommended!!!!!

Dr. Simon did a hammer toe procedure on my left foot. It NEVER took. It was NEVER done correctly and the toe NEVER healed correctly. Dr. Simon always comes to the office late and when asked why, he laughs. I waited for him 45-50 minutes beyond my appt time. He always has an incompetent assistant. She more concerned with when her break is then doing what the doctor tells her to do. She & other assistants in the office LOVE MAKING FUN of as many pts as they can.
