    As always, Dr Simpson gave a thorough examination, asked about allergy shots progress, inquired about my symptoms, gave advice about adding medication daily and overall provided an excellent patient experience. In our seven years of seeing each other, I have always been pleased with Dr Simpson and recommend her services to anyone who mentions allergy issues.

    Scheduling worked with provider to fit me in today while I was at the clinic for an allergy injection since the first available appointment to see Dr. Simpson would not be available until May. Excellent teamwork by all parties.

    Great first visit with Doctor Simpson. Hoping care continues to be extraordinary.

    I would HIGHLY recommend DR Kelly Simpson, after dealing with a very difficult diagnosis with multiple DR’s across numerous visits. Although I have yet to receive an official diagnosis, I strongly feel that DR Simpson’s dedication to diagnosing my issue will finally result in my issue being resolved, even though it does not fall under her specialty. After nearly losing faith in the system altogether, it was amazingly refreshing to come across a DR who seemed genuinely concerned and motivated to figure it out. My hat is off to you DR Simpson!
