Dr Simon did the ACL surgery’s on my son’s knees and I now trust him to look after my old arthritic knees hopefully keeping me with my God provided OEM parts for many more years. He listens well and is not hurried to get to the next patient. Assistants and front desk staff are very polite. Would recommend him to anyone.

Great experience. Dr Simon completely explained my options, he did not “rush through” our discussion and I left feeling that he was fully engaged in my situation.

At the beginning of October, I got a total shoulder replacement for my right shoulder. I also use a wheelchair. Dr Simon and every single person that worked with him good and amazing job. They were very informative, humane, and supportive. They also listened to my needs. I am 14 days out from the surgery and healing very well. I’ve already talked to Dr Simon and told him that if I ever need to get my left shoulder done, he’s my guy 10 out of 10.
