"Dr. Simon treated my parent in the hospital and in several follow-up visits. She refused to return phone calls about a concern we had, even though these calls were being made by medical professionals who were not making idle complaints, and the only response we received was to take our parent (who was at that point in a nursing facility) to an ER (this was definitely NOT a problem that warranted an ER visit in the middle of the Omicron surge). We were also told she would call us back, which she never did. She then had the nerve to tell us during an in-person visit to call her any time we had questions. The office staff was awful. After the 1st out-patient visit, we were given a return visit date, which the staff then never entered into their schedule. The staff also informed us at the end of the day, before the 2nd out-patient visit, that Dr. Simon was not a participating doctor on my parent's plan and would have to pay out-of-pocket for X-rays and a higher co-pay. They had no good explanation as to why we were not informed of this earlier, and at that point, having waited 1 month for this visit, it was not an safe option to just cancel the visit and find a new doctor. Even the insurance company (which still has her listed as being an in-network provider) had a hard time explaining this and still lists her as in-plan. -"

"Mom had knee surgery. At consultation he was detailed and patient answering our questions. With surgery he was comforting and explained the procedure clearly. After surgery her explained how everything went and gave clear next steps. Mom is recovering well. Recommended to two people already. "

"Incorrect diagnosis of partial bicep tendon tear. The Dr. kept feeding me pain pills and suggested physical therapy. Went to 2nd opinion and was shown with my own eyes that the tendon was completely torn causing "Popeye arm". Bicep was resting on the inside of my elbow. Mo amount of PT is going to re-attach the tendon. Surgery repaired the problem and I wasted 2 months eating Percocets like candy for no reason."

"Not a good experience, recommendations were contradictory and off... my 3 year old son with a clavicle broken did not get the attention we deserved. "
