Patient review summary
3.67
The reviews reflect a mix of experiences with Dr. Richard Simon and his office. On one hand, some patients appreciate his thoroughness and support, particularly highlighting his careful explanations regarding medical conditions and procedures. A long-term patient expressed gratitude for the successful cataract surgery that significantly improved their quality of life. However, several reviews indicate dissatisfaction with the office staff's professionalism and communication, particularly regarding unexpected charges that were not disclosed in advance. Additionally, concerns about Dr. Simon’s bedside manner were noted, with one parent feeling that his brief consultation missed a serious vision issue in their child, which was later diagnosed by another doctor. Overall, while Dr. Simon's medical competence is acknowledged by some, the office's administrative practices and his interpersonal approach have left room for improvement in the patient experience.
