    Dr Simon is a gem. I see many healthcare providers and while I only see him annually - he is patient, kind, knowledgeable, approachable and friendly. Worth the 6 hour drive as I trust him completely.

    I felt well informed about my medical condition. Dr. Simon is very competent and confident in his skill set as a surgeon. His bedside manor, humor, empathy, and communication were exactly what I needed during such a scary time in my life. Julie, his right hand, is fabulous as well. You won't be disappointed with their care.

He showed concern with his pertinent questions, fully explained my previous testing results, and explained his ideas on what his plan would be and how soon it would take place. He asked my thoughts on the matter and answered all of my questions. He also asked if I could think of anything more that he could do for me.
