Dr. Barry Simonson, MD

terrible customer service..can't get through on the phone....no callbacks...put the wrong code in for an MRI I needed and never sent the referral in...had to cancel my MRI..still waiting for a callback...very unprofessional

One of the worst experiences with a doctor I have ever had. I saw him twice but cancelled the third appointment. Wait each visit was more than one hour. I was there due to a bad knee as the result of a fall. His x-rays and exam seemed thorough enough, but the visit was quite rushed. He did not give me the time for questions and discussion of my condition or options. He is very big on physical therapy which I tried for several months to not much success. His follow up visit saw yet more p/t prescriptions, and the exam experience was the same - rushed and intimidating. He has more than one location and is overbooked to the point of patient failure.

What an awful experience. Two knee surgeries later I'm still not better. I waited 2.5 hours every time I went to see him for follow ups or consultations because they double triple quadruple book their appointments. I'm going to get my third surgery from someone else and to receive my documentation theis office only takes fax or physical pickup/drop off for the release forms (they "don't have email") and they cant provide my paperwork until 10-12 days after I fax or drop this paperwork off. They "dont have email" at their office. Who doesnt have email?! I'm frustrated and in pain and this office is ridiculous. Go somewhere with some sense of customer service and better results.

I saw Dr. Simonson after a hip fall. He examined me and wrote a prescription for Physical Therapy. I did the therapy with no improvement. He then recommended another round of physical therapy with a different concentration. This failed as well. He wanted to try another approach, but by now I had had enough. I don't understand why a physician who doesn't have a clue is permitted to keep trying this and that and get paid for it. The only thing I accomplished with this practice, was a decrease in my bank account balance.

Never cam down to waiting area called on phone and said he had no time to talk. My husband was in severe pain for 4 months till sanother surgeon cut off what was a blood clot because he left something bleeding in his knee. Kept saying warm compresses would fix it. Worst dr manner not to talk to me after surgery said to busy with next patient not like heart surgery where someone could die.

Excellent

After waiting over 1 1/2 hours to see Dr.Simonson, I finally met Dr. Simonson. He was thorough and briskly explained his diagnosis and recommendations pretty quickly. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to ask most important questions which came to mind after my visit.. I do hope he will be able to answer my questions when I call the office and ask him to return my call.

Dr Simonson is a "good guy"! The wait time in his office is intolerable.
