About

Philosophy of Care

In my practice I try to emphasize three aspects of care: 1) The pursuit of an accurate and timely neurologic diagnosis, 2) the utilization of evidence-based medicine to develop diagnostic and treatment plans, and 3) a commitment to shared decision-making in which patient and caregiver preferences are highly valued.

Long time between er and opening in neurology for a scary illness event

10/12/2023

Very good at what he does!

10/07/2023

It seems the Dr. Is trying to squeeze in too many patients to give them the attention that is needed.

10/07/2023

Best neurologist I've dealt with.

Overall it was a good experience

08/17/2023

I've had a stroke, I don't recommend that to anybody. But if you have one I would recommend Dr. Simmons.

08/16/2023

This was preliminary visit. I was impressed w/the Dr. It will take followup to tests and future discussion for better understanding.

07/18/2023

It was as pleasant an experience as it could be

He can’t pinpoint what the problem

05/23/2023

Good solid young doctor👍

05/14/2023

The referring doctor didn’t get the needed paperwork transferred to him before the scheduled appointment. He did a thorough physical evaluation and asked about the symptoms l felt like he did a good job with the information he had given the circumstances.

05/12/2023

I've appreciated the 2 visits with Dr. Simmons soo far.

05/01/2023

[name] and family have peace since the visit with Dr. Simmons.

02/03/2023

I'm sure he is knowledgeable, but not especially helpful. I'm [number] yrs old with a number of medical/health issues to deal with and I got the impression he was not interested in working with these complications

12/13/2022

I appreciate that the next appointment, will be over the phone.

12/02/2022

ALWAYS WILLING TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING INVOLVED WITH THE VISIT

11/30/2022

I was concerned when my neurologist of five years retired, but Dr. Simmons seems like a great doctor

10/07/2022

It is very important to me when a provider spends the time needed for the evaluation.

08/23/2022

He was a great listener. I wish he could be my Seizure doctor.

08/05/2022

Dr Simmons was extremely thorough. After the visit, he promptly responded after he had a chance to look at my imaging and spent adequate time on the phone with me to explain my diagnosis and come up with a plan for the next steps. He is prompt in returning messages via MyChart.

07/17/2022

Front desk check-in was poor. Seems person didn't have the info or care. Provider was thoroughly thoughtful & caring!!

07/17/2022

Very good. PAY THE MAN!!

07/17/2022

It's always great.

05/31/2022

Dr. Simmons went above what I expected in that he took extra time BEFORE my visit [one week] to consult with a different Dr. About my case. That is quality Care at it's BEST......

05/31/2022

He was interested in my history of my seizure control and the prescription that I am _____ taking.

04/23/2022

Very pleasant, informative & spent enough time.

04/22/2022

When my neurosurgeon retired back in 2010, it took until last year that I found a neuro that I can relate to and he relates to me. I hope *Dr. Simmons stays with SAMG for a long time!

04/20/2022

He was very thorough and gentle, kind.

04/20/2022

11/06/2021

Excellent & attentive physician; probably ONE of the best I met. Thank you.

07/30/2021

The physician is a very detailed caring professional who spent a long time to listen and answered all my questions. I truly appreciated for his medical help.

07/23/2021

Very professional

07/07/2021

Knew his subject and his patient.

07/03/2021

He took his time with me. Which is great because I'm used to way shorter appointments. I wish he would have asked more details about the symptoms I was experiencing especially since they have shifted. I have a lot of symptoms so I understood it took time a lot of time just to get through those. Once I got home and my brainfog eased up a bit there's a lot I wish I would have pointed out since he thought it wasn't because of the brain or nervous system. Most young people don't struggle with stuff like this so recovery is going to look different than the normal old Patient
