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.

Drs Simon and Borroto are top quality professionals

I’ve been treated by Dr. Simmon twice. His professionalism, bedside manners, his detail oriented personality and the care and attention for my medical needs overcompensated for the time I spent waiting. One must understand that when visiting a specialist it’s not the same as a general doctor. There are more details and history to be covered each time in order to discover the root of our problem. We all want and need to be heard, as we should. Hence, why we must understand why the long wait for our turn to be seen, as when it is our turn we are also given the same, time, care and attention. This is exactly what Dr. Simon does. He gives us his ALL! Great staff as well!!

They overbooked the appointment and they set up an appointment for me and then they told me is for arrival time Why they make appointment? The office employees are very unorganized they forget to let you know all you need to know such payments , insurance, referral, etc There is not after hours receptionist And the doctor doesn't return your call because he told me he has so many patients . Why he has too many patients that he can take care one?. " The monkey dance with the money ", a proverbs days.

My insurance assigned for Dr. Simon to perform some tests required to better diagnose my condition and I highly recommend Dr. Simon. He took the time to go over my medical records, answered all of our questions and thoroughly explained my condition. He was very pleasant and understanding. He was extremely caring when conducting the tests, explained the results and the treatment. If you are looking for a pleasant, caring, knowledgeable physician I recommend you go see Dr. Simon.

Good doctor, very attentive, he has many patients, very seek patients, some of them are following from other towns. In my case, he recommends to me, some venous infusions, and now I am able to walk again. I believe in him. The bad new is the waiting time, but is a winning situation, this Doctor is very serious and knowledgeable.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CANCEL AN APPT. NEW PATIENT AND I HAVE CALLED 3 DAYS IN A ROW AND THEY PLACE YOU ON HOLD EVERY CAL LAND DO NOT COME BACK TO THE PHONE. i WAS TOLD I MUST COME IN 2 HOURS BEFORE MY APPT. SO MAYBE I CAN LEAVE EARLY. MY APPT. IS FOR 9 AM WHEN THEY OPEN. BUT WAS TOLD TO COME IN AT 7AM TO TRY TO LEAVE EARLY. I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO A DOCTOR AND WAIT 2 HORUS BEFORE THEY EVEN OPEN. VERY BAD LOCATION. THEN i CALL THE NUMBER FOR NEW PATIENT AND WAS TOLD " THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO GO IN PERSON IF YOU WANT TO CANCEL THE APPT." THAT IS UNCALLED FOR.

As a patient, I enter to the appointment with my right leg weak and my right hand also a little weak. I was admitted prior in Baptist and I have in paper an scan of my spine, where was a severe cervical herniation disk, bulging disk in lumbar and thoracic part. He and her co doctor didn't read the scan, so he said the diagnosis: Multiple Sclerosis, only with my symptoms. Prompt appointment, but I totally not recommend him or her as neurologist.

I had been about two year with persistent left shoulder pain from scapular area, and difficult rising arm above head, every test were normal, until I was referred with Dr Simon Canellas. He diagnosed me with suprascapular entrapment neuropathy at the sphinglenoid notch, did surgery, and I had been painless. Really recommend him and his neurology clinic.
