Dr. Simons and his staff are so kind, informative and helpful. He is a skillful surgeon and his frequent check ins with the Get Well Loop are so helpful. He's done both my knee and my hip and if I needed anything else, he would be the one to do it.

Dr. Simons was so patient and explained my procedure very well and readily answered any concerns. Fresno Surgical Hospital staff were great and everyone was so helpful and caring during my stay. I love the well loop, but would like to see it go both ways if a question is needed to be answered. I did call office for the clarification and it was readily answered. Thank you all who participated in my care.

Dr. Simons and his team have been the best. Dr. Simmons and team answered all my questions, which helped prepare me for the procedure. The entire staff are the best! They are kind, thorough and always helpful. Fresno Surgery Hospital staff was so caring and helpful if you needed anything anytime. I like the GetWell Loop and I feel the check-ins on-line have been very helpful and make you aware of potential complications. I would highly recommend Dr. Simons to anyone needing knee replacement surgery. Again, I am so happy that I had the surgery done by Dr. Simons, a top notch professional all the way. I’m very pleased with my results and my quick recovery. Thank You Dr. Simons

Dr. Simons replaced my knee two and a half weeks ago. It's progressing really well. Followup care has been good. I get automated reminders by text and email to check in on the system, which gives important reminders of complications to watch out for, and allows for questions and concerns to be addressed quickly. I'm looking forward to having him replace my other knee soon.
