I saw Dr. Simmons and he was so kind. He knew exactly what needed to be done to alleviate my pain. He walked me through the procedure in an intelligible manner, that was easy to understand but didn't sound condescending. All of my questions, however stupid they were, were taken seriously and answered to my satisfaction. He was patient and made sure I was comfortable with the procedure and my understanding of it before continuing. His staff was super accommodating to my schedule and they worked with me to find the best time for my busy schedule. There was hardly a wait, I had barely sat down after checking in when I was called back to be seen. I was surprised how little of a wait there was. I easily recommend him to everyone I know for their podiatry needs!
Dr. Simmons is a wonderful doctor! He is so knowledgeable and helpful. He made it a comfortable experience for me, even though I was in pain. He has very gentle hands and took the time to answer all of my questions. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends and family. His office is in a great location and the staff are terrific!
