About Michael Simon

Dr. Michael Simon earned his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the George Washington University Columbian College of Arts and Sciences in Washington, DC. He then went on to obtain a Master of Science in Physiology and Biophysics from Georgetown University, School of Medicine. He then earned his Doctorate of Medicine from the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. He completed his Internal Medicine Residency at The George Washington University Hospital and his Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine Fellowship at Rhode Island Hospital.

Having always been interested in sciences, he was inspired to become a doctor after he got to see firsthand the connection a physician makes with a patient; the perfect alignment of scientific curiosity and service to others.

His philosophy of care centers on empathy, patience, and clear communication. He wants his patients to know they are more than a diagnosis or culmination of lab values or chest radiographs.

When not at work, Michael is an avid reader of science fiction. He loves gardening, landscaping, and DIY home improvement projects. He’s also known for bringing along a few board games on his weekend cabin escapes with friends.

Provider Ratings

Why aren’t there any ratings?

We do not have a rating for this provider for one of the following reasons:

  1. Provider was newly added to our survey process and has not yet received the minimum number (30) of survey returns.  Check back soon for results!
  2. If this provider’s biography page does not specify practicing at Southcoast Physicians Group or a Southcoast hospital site (Charlton Memorial, St. Luke’s or Tobey Hospital), he/she is affiliated with Southcoast Health Network but not employed by Southcoast Physicians Group.  Our affiliates are not included in our survey process.
  3. If this provider’s biography page specifies practicing at Charlton Memorial, St. Luke’s or Tobey Hospital, without reference to an outpatient practice, he/she delivers care in the inpatient hospital setting only; inpatient surveys do not include questions about individual providers.

Southcoast Health physician profiles now feature star ratings.  Below, you’ll find frequently asked questions about our process for calculating the ratings.

Why does Southcoast publish survey ratings online?
Southcoast is dedicated to providing patients and consumers with helpful information about the quality of our patients’ experiences. Star ratings published on our physician biography pages are based on actual responses from patients of that particular physician to patient satisfaction surveys that are distributed and processed by a national patient satisfaction survey vendor.

Who receives the survey?
Our vendor sends surveys via SMS or email to all patients seen in our outpatient physician practices who have a valid smart phone number or email address on file with Southcoast Health. Surveys are sent to patients within a few days of their appointment.

How is the Patient Satisfaction Star Rating Calculated?
Star ratings are calculated using an average of all survey responses to each of three questions: Courtesy and Respect of Staff, Provider Overall Rating, and  Willingness to Recommend Provider’s Office.  The star rating displayed on our physicians’ main biography page represents the average of the three measures for that particular physician.
