Dr. Simon had a great bedside manner. He listened and asked good questions to make a diagnosis about my arm. He also explained what was going on with my arm so my husband and I could understand. Thank you!

Gary Simon is a great orthopedic surgeon. The visit reflected such fact. The staff is friendly. And responsive. All in all, a very good experience for my “poor” left knee.

Staff was welcoming and efficient. We’ve seen Dr.Simon a handful of times over the years with various sport related knee and shoulder issues on several family members. He’s consistently provided clear expectations, treatment options and solid results. Hopefully we don’t have to see him again, but if a bone or ligament breaks, it will be Dr.Simon. :)
