From the front desk receptionist to the receptionist at check out, the medical assistant and of course Dr Simon EVERYONE was friendly, respectful and professional. I can't say enough about how comfortable they made me. Dr Simon was excellent. He listened to my concerns and has a plan in place that makes me feel confident in my health care team. Everyone at that office is a reflection on Southcoast and I hope they are appreciated
Doctor Simon is an absolute medical phenomenon. I'm 92 years old, I've had much much experience with physicians in my life.

Great caring Doctor who knew my history and my needs. My health has greatly improved since I started working with Dr Simon. Thank you.
The Truesdale facility and every staff member I met were great. Friendly, professional, helpful in every way. Staff in the pulmonary clinic and Dr Simon were excellent
Dr Simon is everything you would want in a doctor. He went above and beyond and explained what my cardiologist failed to explain to me! He is personable and professional. I wish he could become my primary care physician! Would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.
This was a new patient appointment with Dr. Simon. I thought he was very personable. I thought he listened extremely well. I thought he asked good questions. He was obviously prepared for the appointment and looked at my previous records. I thought he was just extremely thorough and made good recommendations as to how to move forward. I got out of the appointment thinking he had done just an absolutely super job. I'm thankful to have a doctor of his caliber handling my health issues. Thank you.

Dr. Simon is fantastic. He takes the time to explain things. He always follows up with me on test results or even just to ask how I'm feeling. He's a great doctor.
The call center was wonderful. The medical assistants were amazing. And Dr. Simon was a pleasant surprise. And we felt very safe and we were very trusting of the decisions that were made during our visit. And we were very grateful that we were seen in a timely manner. A CAT scan was performed. Lab work was performed. And it was one-stop shopping. I received a phone call today from Dr. Simon personally with a decision as to how treatment was going to continue. And we took action on that. And it is now in place. So we're very pleased. Thank you.
It's rare to go to a physician's office where everyone - from receptionist, to the nurse, to the doctor, to the secretary that scheduled my next appointment -everyone - was friendly, courteous, and helpful. It's a pleasure to visit Dr. Simon and the support staff.
appt was right on time. staff and dr are all polite and caring. i feel very comfortable and feel like i am important not just another person they have to see
Dr. Simon was extremely professional, personable. I really like him and will be keeping all my pulmonary appointments with him as much as possible. I highly recommend him.
Dr Simon had already researched my health files, so the appointment was totally spent on me, not looking up information on the computer. Answered all of my questions and we worked together to reach a goal to better help me reach my health care needs. 10 star doctor
Everyone treated me with care and respect. Excellent
I left their office thinking how nice it was to see a group of genuinely happy people enjoying their jobs and that made me smile. It's also nice to have a doctor that seems like they genuinely care about your health improving.
