Dr. Simkins and his staff are just outstanding! They take the time to find out all about you...your medical history, current conditions, and family medical history in order to completely understand you and any potential issues. When you are meeting with Dr. Simkins and his staff, you are their focus, you feel as if you are their only patient that day. I cannot say enough about their professionalism and how much they care about you! This is a 1000% recommendation!

Since the first call they made me feel like I was family. At time of appointment staff welcomed me in like if they knew me, very sweet. Dr Simkins showed lots of concerns about my health and immediately move things along to start me on my right path. I will recommend this office to friends and family.

Good doctor. Staff needs improvement. I called with a question and they never called me back. Doctor seems rushed all of the time. I had to wait about 50 minutes over my scheduled time and nobody cared...they had the attitude my time was less valuable than theirs. I think the doc knows his stuff, but negative staff and rushed feeling diminishes his attributes.

He's the worst I have ever seen after witnessing how he treated my wife and my mother with no empathy. No follow up after a massive heart attack nor hospital visits! Totally unacceptable.

If you like a doctor who stops you when speaking with him and saying loudly "Stop, you are boring me". Then this guy is your man! He did the same thing to my husband right after he had a heart attack. NO! I would never reer anyone to this man as he is extremely rude.
