Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He's not very thorough. Didn't so a physical exam. Poor people skills.

Told me I needed my disc replaced or I wouldn't be able to walk, Never offered or recommended physical therapy..... After I healed on my own, I went back and asked why I was never offered physical therapy, they kicked me out of their office. Don't trust these people.... Don't sign the paperwork where they say you can't get a second opinion. Any doctor who asks that has compromised morals.

The first appointment with Dr. Simonson left us feeling almost in an adversarial situation: he was rushed, gruff, blunt, had not reviewed any imagery beforehand, and in general he exhibited a poor attitude in this initial visit. Left a bad impression on us that hasn't improved after the second appointment.
