I've been seeing dr. Simmons for eighteen months and her dedication towards my medical care is the best. Dr. Simmons compassion for her patients is beyond a normal doctor would be. She takes the time to review and goes over your lab results and answers all your questions you have. I'm beyond blessed to have her as my kidney doctor. Her entire staff is very professional. I get reminder calls for my appointments. Melissa is a very caring nurse, she returns my phone calls and always helps me out when I'm in a needing to reach out to dr. Simmons. I do recommend Dr. Simmons to anyone needing a super star kidney and a compassionate doctor.

Dr. Edith Simmons is an amazing doctor. I have a lot of health problems and I have been to a lot of doctors. Dr. Simmons took the time to explain to me what was going on. She even called one of my other doctors while she was in the room with me, and I have never seen that. I was very impressed, I was very comfortable and I left there with all my questions answered. I have regular blood tests and her office is always good about calling me and giving me the results, and / or any med changes that need to be made. I am very thankful for her, she is a wonderful doctor.

Dr. Simmons is one of the brightest and most caring doctors in this century. She is thorough and thoughtful. When years of cardio specialists couldn't figure out the problem, resulting in a hospital stay, Dr. Simmons was able to solve the mystery within days.

Dr. Simmons is the most thorough and caring doctor I know. She is brilliant and truly cares about her patients. There is a bit of a wait to see her, but it's because she gives all of us 100% of her attention when she's with us...she is so worth the wait! After years of misdiagnosis by Cardiologist, Dr. Simmons quickly discovered the problem and corrected it.
