Dr. Simpson is absolutley amazing. She was very caring and compassionate. She took the time to answer my questions, explained all my options and explained my radiology images so I could have a better understanding. She had such a lovely and positive demeanor that made me feel very comfortable with having her as my provider.

Dr. Simpson is an amazing clinician and surgeon. She performed my total laproscopic [ ] on August [ ] and this visit was the 2-week postop appointment. She is so smart, so professional and extremely personable and relatable. She gives you that warm and fuzzy that you're in good hands.
