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.

Dr Simpson has cared for many of my family members over the years. He consistently delivers excellent care with compassion and empathy that is rare in such intense practices

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Simpson Jr?
Simpson told me that my CTA showed improper flow, at first he wanted to send me back to my Doctor and recommend three medications to control my high blood pressure. After I told him that I can't work with my blood pressure shooting up to 190/111 then dropping to 90/50, he said he would go ahead a put in a stint. Then on the day of my surgery he didn't even put in the stint. He told my Mother he didn't know what was wrong and was releasing me back to my Doctor and didn't see me no more.
