Resurgens Orthopedics and especially Dr. Simon are top notch worthy of praise. Dr. Simon is an excellent Orthopedic surgeon who is very personable and will take the time to talk with you and answer any questions you may have. Two years ago Dr. Simon performed a shoulder replacement for me and today my shoulder works as if I were 20 years old. Early next year he will be performing a complete shoulder replacement on my other shoulder. I highly recommend Dr. Simon to take care of you if you have shoulder issues and want it done right!

I had to wait about 40 minutes in the room but that is unusual. I was sent for X-ray’s and then seen by Dr. Simon. I trust him with my care. The staff is always nice

It's just incredible how nice every single person on that staff is. The Doctor Who treated me was very compassionate and informative. There were things happening to me that I could not understand and he made it simple for me to understand it.

Dr. Gary Simon is truly exceptional! From the moment I walked in, he treated me with professionalism, care, and genuine concern. He takes his time, listens, explains everything clearly, and makes sure you’re completely comfortable with your treatment plan. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and their well-being. Hands down one of the best doctors I’ve ever worked with. Highly recommend!
