Dr. Simon joined Hales Pediatrics in September, 2012. She sees well and sick patients in the office, helps with hospital rounds, and shares after-hours call. She is a graduate of Louisiana State University and Louisiana State University School of Medicine, and completed her pediatric residency at Children's Hospital. She and her husband, Denis, are the proud parents of Sophie and Gardner. We are happy to welcome Dr. Simon (pronounced "See-maw" in the South Louisiana way) to Hales Pediatrics.

Dr Simon is knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. She is dedicated to her patients, extremely thorough and very reassuring, especially for new parents. My kids love her so much!

Since my kids have been ill the pass several months I have been to lily pad pediatrics a lot. Dr. Simon is not my children's regular pediatrician but she is by far my favorite. She is very kind, gentle, and always has a smile on her face. As a mother she makes me feel very confident in the care she provides as she is very thorough. She stayed after hours for my child's results and called me personally. Overall she just makes me feel comfortable especially compared to other doctors at lily pad pediatrics who seem very judgmental.

You would think after a whole doing the same thing for the sand problem she would try something new! I'm done going in circles
