I fully stand behind the others. I always read reviews first, and this time, I did not.
My experience is this doctor is close minded. I ASKED his staff that first. He is arrogant, arguementative and is a perfect representation of the defunct medical system we have in this country. If you're of the sheep mentality, then he might work out.
For those who KNOW BY EXPERIENCE that natural medicine is not a back up system and is NOT a poorly researched, substandard system, you will not like his rigid adherence to old school bs. If you value a doctor that has not lost the ability to listen and to remain a life student (possessing humility), then I recommend you look elsewhere. You will not find that in Dr Simon, and that is most unfortunate. Outdated, archaic, you are likely to find in his office. He is way behind the current data and still actually believes that unless you have lived in NE United States, you have no concern about having Lymes. Long live the sheep who love to stay soundly asleep!
I have never written a review in my life for a Dr but I cannot help myself on this guy. He is a real beauty.
The guy had no interest in my opinion or my symptoms, but rather he wanted to push his beliefs. He had ZERO of my past medical records yet, when I told him I had Lyme Disease for 5 years and was successfully treated he just stated...you never had Lyme Disease.
I informed him the antibiotics although helpful caused a lot of stomach issues for me and that being on a Candida diet removed all of my symptoms within 10 days -- he claims there is NO such thing as Candida.
Then he proceeds to tell me I don't have allergies -- I HAVEN'T even told him what my issues or reactions are.
I am not sure if he is losing his mind or what his problem is, but it was like a joke where you start looking around for cameras.
I stood up and told him this a pointless exercise. He had interrupted my every sentence, had trouble looking me in the eye and just wanted to argue.
I walked out and literally told him he is a "nut job" and I want my $40 back. It was so ridiculous my wife and I just laughed about it when we got outside -- like is this for real.
Look if you have a child that has allergies or sensitivities, DO NOT go see this guy. He is dangerous. Seriously.
Same experience as the other reviewers. Dr. Simon was condescending, dismissive, arrogant, and rude. When we were discussing a food ingredient that I suspect I have reactions to, he tells me to get educated and that there is no test for food dyes because there is no possible allergy. Fine and all, but I was simply answering the questions of what things seemed to set me off. I'm here to find out and give you data. Spare me your lectures. Definitely going to a different doctor. I don't need the abuse.
I had to give him one star in order to post review. Otherwise, no stars and I wish they had negative stars.
