OVERALL PROVIDER RATING

4.9out of 5
  • April 9, 2026

    I have seen Dr. Simpson for about five years. Now my allergies and asthma are well managed under her care. As someone who speaks English as a second language, sometimes I find she speaks too fast. She has never shown a little bit of impatience when I ask her to repeat something she just said. This makes me feel comfortable to discuss my concerns and questions with her without fear. When she prescribes a new medication, she tries to explain the difference from the one I currently have and why she thinks the new one would be better for me. I appreciate her knowledge, patience and kindness.

    Each person I saw was friendly and professional. Each person explained what they were doing, and I never felt rushed. All my questions were answered.
