He is a very wonderful doctor, he listens to my concerns and try his hardest for a solution.. he makes me feel like I matter and is working hard to fine the right RA treatment that’s best for me.. he hasn’t given up and answers any questions or concerns I may have and if I don’t understand something he breaks it down without making me feel stupid.. I’m 5 yrs he is the only doctor to take the time to try and find a treatment for my RA.. I’m very thankful I found him and he started treating me..

Dr Simon is very caring. He is committed to the patient and that makes a big difference. I was overwhelmed with concerns about my health, but Dr Simon’s kind and detailed explanation relieved my concerns. I am very thankful. I am very confident that I am receiving great care.
