The wait time was short about 10 minutes. Everyone was welcoming as it was my first time. Dr. Simmons goes out of her way to make conversation to make it less awkward LOL. Her assistants are very welcoming. Overall i am happy with their service.

I love her. she never rushes you or makes you feel like you are asking stupid questions. I had problems with infertility and she was even a shoulder to cry on. she is knowledgeable and professional but very human. A great doctor with lots of experience. Hope she never retires.

My appointment was at 9:15, I got there early and didn't get into a room, until an hour later. They explained to me the dr comes in speaks to you and then leaves to another patient? I couldn't wait longer, as I already waited another 40 minutes. The only person in the office that seemed to care was an African American woman who made it her own to find out why I already waited for almost 2 hours. Unfortunately I walked out I could not wait any longer.

Had my first ever gyno visit with Dr. Simmons and it was fantastic. She made sure to keep me in the loop of what was going on during the exam and spent a good while chatting with me in her office. Definitely a great doctor!

Dr. Simmions multiple times has been rude and out of line to me. She was demeaning and has a terrible client patient relationship with me

i have been seeing Dr. Simmons for at least 10 years now. she is always kind and thorough and gentle in her examinations and cares a great deal about the patient as a person. Dr. Simmons ALWAYS returns phone calls and makes referrals to other physicians if the problem is outside her expertise.while she sees adolescent patients, she also sees adults. i like her enough to send my daughter to her.
