Dr. Simkins is friendly, listens to my concerns and addresses every issue I have. She takes time to make me feel as though I matter. Above all that, she is an excellent doctor and surgeon. I trust her as she has helped me with gyn issues that I have had for over 3 years that no one else was able to solve. I would highly recommend Dr. Simkins.

Besides being really sweet and caring, Dr. Kelly Simkins is gentle and down to earth. She's very knowledgable and talks to you until you completely understand everything she has to say about your health. I'm 51 years old and she's the best OB GYN I've had. Definitely my favorite!

Very rough during pap. Knowledgeable. Left me stranded on a high exam table. It took 10 minutes to get the attention of the staff so I could get down from the table. The step was not pulled out to get down off the table.

The practice Dr. Simkins works in is large, and this can be challenging (in terms of having to see many doctors throughout a pregnancy and speaking with several different nurses on the phone and in the office). But Dr. Simkins is wonderful. She never seems hurried or bothered; is compassionate; and is thorough when answering questions/addressing concerns.
