    My only disappointment was I had to wait several months to get in to see Dr Simpson and when I arrived I instead saw an intern. I honestly hate when I make a dr appointment and end up seeing a PA or in this case an intern. Why did I wait mo this to see her ??

    Dr Simpson was a caring individual and listen to my concerns about the surgery. She never rushed me. I never felt like another number.
