Dr Simmons and staff did not disappoint. Amanda the NP listened attentively and asked questions out of genuine care for my condition. Dr Simmon took note of all the details and gave me comfort in knowing he would do what's necessary to identify the problem and create the best solution. They displayed true CARE in Healthcare.

Going to this doctor's office was a truly pleasant experience. The wait time was minimal, the staff was very friendly, and the nurse practitioner listened to my concerns, asked useful and meaningful questions, and explained everything she was doing and that I would be doing in my future visits.

This was a great experience for me. Stormy NP is very knowledgeable. She listened to and responded to my concerns and explained in ways I can understand. She was professional and concise.

The website I was directed to didn’t work so I had to down load forms and fill them in . I got an email reminder of my appointment but when we showed up the office was closed. I called the office and they didn’t even have a record of the appointment! I wasted 5 hrs on this day. Seems like their fancy computer system doesn’t work reliably and there aren’t enough competent people in the office. I will go out of town and see another provider. This was a waste

I got to see an NP, Olivia, and she was great! She listened carefully and I felt like I was heard. She seemed very knowledgeable as well!

Everybody is amazing

I had an excellent visit at CSMA. Would highly recommend for anyone with previously diagnosed with sleep disorders or suspicious of having a sleep disorder.
Verified patient
Poorly run office emanating from the top -- The Doctor. Impossible to make any contact with the physician who hopefully took the Hippocratic Oath to help and be available for the patient. No prior review of all testing at each fully paid consultation. Sophomoric excuses provided for lack of professionalism and responses. Undeserved reputation
Good Zoom call.
Very pleased and confident that my problem will be solved. They spent time with me explaining condition & testing and answering questions. So nice to have an office that cares and that you can have doctor contact to find solution. Highly Recommend!
Verified patient

I really liked that my providers were very understanding and listened to what my needs were, despite my anxiety about some treatment options for Narcolepsy
Verified patient
It was great! They listened to my issues and made sure we had a plan of what we needed to do! Very nice staff! Glad that I chose them!
Verified patient
I would like to have seen Dr. Simmons during my first appointment. Still, the PA who saw me was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and helpful nonetheless.
