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.

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.

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.

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.
