Review for Michelle Simmons, MD

Annual Well Woman Exam

Everyone was very polite, smiling, and caring. They introduced themselves to me so I know who each person I interacted with was. Dr. Simmons had already prepared my chart and had a game plan for us to discuss moving forward. She also ask me what I wanted to do and gave me options to choose from. She made me feel like I was her one and only patient. I can not say enough good things about my doctor and the staff!! They are rock stars!!

the care is outstanding! However, after getting upstairs and into a room, I spent 45 minutes waiting for the doctor. That seemed a very long time
