“The receptionist is friendly and prompt. The office is clean and bright. The private rooms are comfortable and I felt cozy. This Doctor is someone I am confident in building a doctor/patient relationship with. I went in for a wellness check up and we discussed my history and I found that he can use MyChart to see my medical history! It's so convenient that my medical files can easily be transferred. I will definitely be coming back for future medical needs. For those of you driving, pull into the driveway and park in back; the entrance is in back as well.”

Great experience! The office was a little difficult to find at first, but office was very clean and updated, staff was very friendly and saw me before my appointment time. Dr. Simon was incredibly friendly and would definitely recommend. Office was a little small and the equipment is a little outdated but for a small practice it is expected.
Great. Thank you
