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.

Very thorough doctor, caring, understanding. Only complaint is the parking situation. I was willing to walk so others who were in pain could have the closer spots

Very knowledgeable a lot of patience understanding caring honest and disciplined . Great doctors are hard to find Dr. Simonson Is truthful to the point and tells it like it is whatever the reports say is the case . Surgeries differ from patient to patient with recoveries and outcomes . I need a few and he is behind me all the way very confident with his experience .

Confident Patient in East moriches , NY – Dec 07, 2018

Dr. Simonson ensured that he would help with my knee pain. He prescribed shots and physical therapy but all didnt work so he did surgery and again he said that this would relieve pain. Well after 6 months I have not felt any relief and all I get as a resolve the 4 times I returned was take ibuprofin, steroids and wait. I am tired of waiting to feel better. Also they said that the surgical follow ups would be free with no co-pay and now they are billing me. I do not recommend seeing Simonson.

Dr. Simonsen is a great doctor. He was very friendly, thorough, and made me feel comfortable. I would recommend going to him. The only bad thing is there is not a lot of parking which could be hard with a leg injury.

The parking at the office is horrific!! I had to walk nearly 1/2 mile post knee surgery for a follow up.Office staff is OK.. Billing department is a bit ridiculous. Out of work for 2 months, made arrangements to pay balance multiple times but each time in in the office they ask for the whole balance and give me an attitude. Wait times are hit or miss. Dr S's bedside manner needs some help (quick and snippy with convo) but did an OK job with surgery.
