  • March 14, 2024

    Very pleasant and knowledgeable.

  • March 13, 2024

    Dr. Simpson was extremely helpful. we were scheduled for allergy testing, but unfortunately, due to my son developing an ear ache, he was unable to go through with the testing. However Dr. Simpson was still able to provide our family with information relating to central Texas specific allergies that I found very helpful and was able to reschedule us for the allergy testing at a convenient time for our family. Thank you, Dr. Simpson!
