My wife experienced fever, strong headache, neck pain, some rush on her legs. It lasted for couple of days and became worse and worse. We made an appointment with Dr Sims (our primary physician) and arrived to his office together. We met outside on the parking lot. Doctor came well protected, still he was not willing to approach us closer than 10 feet. He hold us close to our car. We explained the symptoms, and asked him to conduct diagnostic of the condition, tried to show rush. He objected to approach the patient to examine it, while talking about non-existence of viral infection treatments and explaining that tests could cost thousands of dollars. He suggested to take D-vitamin (which he always suggested during our routine annual exams). Condition continued to get worse. We turned to 24 hours nurse service. We had a phone call with certified nurse, which suggested that the condition could have allergy nature and recommended to take an anti-antihistamine treatment. After taking the Claritin, state of my wife improved soon and she was fully recovered in two days
Later online we found the medical records for this visit to Dr. Sims office. It contained measurements (including temperature, oxygen level, pulse etc) which were never taken. We discussed it with Dr Sims and he blamed his stuff for that. He also explained unwieldiness to look at rush by his attempt "to protect patient privacy". I never met such behavior of medical stuff.. It is not even about medical mistake, it is about unwillingness to do anything to help patient with using Covid-19 as an universal excuse.

Overall Rating: 1.0 2018-06-11

Waiting time is too long even if you have an appointment, and after you wait you get low service. 
If you call the office, the put you on hold for so long.

You better choose another doctor. You'll just waste your time at this office.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2017-03-09

It's been a full week trying to find a really good family doctor for my daughter and I.  Today, I took my daughter to be seen by Dr. Sims.  It was our first time and he was so caring, thorough with her symptom (ear infection) and he even took the time, to see me for my 1 week old burn injury.  I was very pleased with him and his staff was so friendly.
