I have complete faith in Dr. Simon regarding my physical well being. I feel confident when I’m in his office and have a question that I won’t be rushed or dismissed. His demeanor is always pleasant and upbeat and always makes you feel comfortable and as a patient you are important to him. Kudos also to his staff who is always pleasant and accommodating.

We’ve looked for a doctor like Dr Simon for a long time. He is the old fashioned doctor that is independent. He is extremely knowledgeable and really and cares about his patients’ well being. In addition he has great bed side manner. My wife and I always look forward to our appts with him. He spends all of the time with his patients that is necessary. He also returns patient phone calls every day. What a joy. He’s not owned by a corporation that tells him how much time to spend with each patient. In addition his staff is great to deal with and very responsive.
