Review for Michelle Simmons, MD

Annual Well Woman Exam

Everything went according to plan, no long wait, Dr was generous with her time, everything was fine, but nothing was special. As I am aging and seeing different doctors offices, this one is very “flat” in comparison. Light instrumental music of some sort, live plants, good coffee, table, books or magazines, table fountain, artwork could go along way. Plus a fan or vent in the bathrooms, especially in the waiting room. No one wants to hear every single thing going on with everyone’s bathroom visit while waiting in the lobby.
