Dr. Simon is an exceptional doctor and person. His expertise and patience is second to none. I had previously gotten the run around regarding scheduling MRI appointments and getting to the cause of my pain. Prior to my visit with Dr. Simon on February 6, I was in constant pain since December of last year. He diagnosed my problem and arranged for proper testing, treatment, and rehabilitation and for that I’m appreciative.

Dr. Simon has been my doctor for 14 years since he repaired a totally torn rotator cuff in my shoulder. He was honest to say, at that time, that he was not certain if it could be repaired, but he did and it’s been 14 years since surgery. I may be faced with a shoulder replacement at some point. Dr. Simon has my full confidence for doing that surgery too when needed. I couldn’t recommend him more. He is very patient, friendly, spends time explaining everything clearly and doesn’t push any procedure, yet provides all options available.
