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.

Dr. Michael Simms has an awesome bedside manner, he is always cheerful and listens to my medical issues. He worked with me after I fired my last doctor. He saw immediately my insulin dosage was way to high, which is why I was hungry constantly and couldn't lose weight. After a through exam he explained his health plan he decided for me. I went from an A1C of 13+ to around 8 and I lost weight/pants sizes. When I couldn't progress any further he sent me to the best specialist in the SE. Which tells me he doesn't let ego get in the way of the best care for his patient. Which is the problem I had with my previous doctor. I give Dr. Simms the highest recommendation I possibly can.

I have been a patient for quite some time. Dr Sims has always been thorough,honest and compassionate. As I have matured, and my needs change he has been there every step of the way. I have had the experience of watching him teach a student or resident with the same respect he gives a fellow physician. He is an all star in my book. Kermit Griner
