Muy buena explicaci?n
Very good care the doctor listened to what I had to say. I had to wait because she was late but that was OK. It was well worth it.
Very professional but showed empathy for my coughing situation. Did not speak "over my head " with explanations.
Perfect in every sense!!!!!
Very interested in me.
Medical procedure performed to address my diagnosed positional vertigo condition was successful based on results and verification
She was on time for the appointment and I feel like she did a good job

The medical assistant was very personable and friendly and professional!
Very gentle and did a good job

Everything went well; tinnitus is a tricky disease of the brain. Tinnitus does its own thing.

I had a problem with my ear Doctor Ramirez did a hearing test and referred me to see Doctor Simpson. Doctor Simpson found wax pressing on my ear drum causing the problem. Between the two I would like to give them a hug because they repaired my problem. I feel great because of both of them they did a great job
Very knowledgeable caring concerned easy to understand very good communicator very intelligent.
Good
Excellent Dr
The CNP was great. I have been to her before. She spent time with me and addressed all my concerns
She was very friendly and good at working with my son.
My ear has water behind the drum. I've been to my normal primary care And an urgent care. No one could figure It out. Both told me I needed a specialist. N they helped figure out why n cleaned my ear. Explained it all to me. And gave me follow up care. She let me look at my ear n see what was wrong. She explained n made me feel so much better.It took 3 weeks to get in. I'm so blessed I did! She is Amazing!
Sarah was awesome. She was very attentive and answered all of my questions. I can't say enough good things about her. I came in later in the day for a follow up and she and the staff helped me immediately.
Sarah has always been courteous, polite, knowledgeable, and very easy to understand.
The provider was very thorough and understanding.
Good
Dr. Sarah was wonderful- a true professional.
Very knowledgeable
Very Capable
Really liked the PA. She took the time needed by quickly came to a medical diagnosis which was correct. She was very competent and pleasant.
Had good follow up.
She explained everything down to a science and made it very easy to understand what was going on and how to prevent this situation again.
She gave some options that will be considered, and will probably listen to her.
She was kind and listened to me and explained what's going on in words I understood but without talking down to me.
Overall this experience was very good and I am glad that I found this facility
Had a good experience from the provider, things were explained clearly to me
She was good, mentioned that my sinus headaches were probably light migraines Despite my allergy record. I will be seeing the allergist there on my next visit.
Excellent care and listening.
The provider was very friendly and listened to my concerns and questions. She took time to review the records I brought. And set me up to see the Audiologist while I was there.
The provider let me talk, I did not feel rushed.
Everyone was focused on my needs during my visit.
I had struggled with a chronic cough for several months. The provider did a procedure with a scope that enabled her to diagnose me with LPR, so I now can start to treat this condition.
All good
SARAH DID A GOOD JOB CLEANING MY EARS
1st time seeing her, easy to discuss problem. Showed concern and explained my injury
Pleasant and helpful. However minimal options available/offered for issue. Did not seem concerned about source or "why" of issue. This was disappointing.
She was very good, she was kind, listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions
They were helpful and nice.
Good!!!
These ladies were the best medical team I've ever had.
Bad; felt that provider just stopped trying when I gave multiple situations that could have helped me understand what and why things are happening with my health. Good; she some how made me feel comfortable enough to speak honestly and openly even though this was our first time meeting.
Excellant, very knowledge, explained everything and looked me in the eyes and had a very gentle touch
Really nice meeting with someone who actually listens to you without making you feel like they need to get in with their next patient
Good
Very kind and easy to talk to. Seemed very knowledgeable and very gentle with the scope she used to look at my sinuses.
Sarah was wonderful. Explained things well and showed genuine concern
The provider was very nice and informative
Very knowledgable and interested in my problem.
Courteous and caring
Ms. Simpson is a very knowledgeable ENT however her bedside manners could be improved. I felt like I was being rushed during the visit (however to be fair she did work me into her schedule as an emergency visit) and that she was not fully emphasizing with my concerns. I am 62 years old and this is my first significant health issue and to be honest I was anxious going into the appointment and not much better afterwards.
She was great! I went in there with discouragement because everyone else just basically told me nothing is wrong. She listened watched my video and we laughed about it she even called one of her colleagues to see if they could help because they were going threw the same thing with a patient and assured me that we would figure this out! I just hope we can!
Excellent
Good
She listened to all of my concerns and seemed eager to assist with finding a resolution. She did not rush me or make me feel like I was imagining health issues
Sara was great very professional
Sarah was very reassuring that my complicated diagnosis and condition would be resolved.
Good
Also, all good.t
Always listens and doesn't ignore my concerns regarding embarrassment over not being able to hear very well.
Have seen her two or three times and she is simply outstanding. Great care and manner.
