Beware of this doctor - on the surface, appears to be ok but actually not..., Feb 7, 2012 This doctor is not accepting of the opinions of any other medical personnel. She wishes to be the only person with a say in what the patient will do and disregards any second opinions that don't correspond with her own. Her staff is not friendly and has even been known to yell at patients on the phone. If you do see this doctor, I highly suggest you regularly request copies of your records in order to keep track of what she is putting in them. I was blindsided by the comments she made in mine. |

Don't trust anything the staff says and find everything out for yourself..., Nov 22, 2011 Dr Simpson gave my husband options for what could be the problem. He recommended getting an echocardiogram as a precaution if insurance would cover it. My husband then said we only wanted it done if insurance covered it. The man who checked us out said that they would contact us if we would be charged, and if we were not contacted then we would be good to go. Because of this, we signed the consent form there and at the imaging center because we were never told we would owe a dime, so we thought we were good to go and not have to pay anything. A week later, we are billed $2000. Someone put in the notations we were told about the amount, so that was not true, and since they have our signature legally we had to pay. We could have contacted our insurance, but he said they would take care of it since it was less then 24 hours before our next appointment. They were not willing to fess up to their mistake, and treated us poorly after that. So because of them not be willing to step up to the plate and take the blame for their lack of communication, we have to pay in order for it not to hurt our credit. Be aware if you go this doctor to not trust a single thing they say. Check everything out for yourself before you sign anything. They also slip something in to the stack of papers you fill out at first to cover themselves, and apparently you don't have to sign it even though they say when they hand it to you to fill everything out and hand it back in. They say they followed their procedure exactly, and maybe they did...but we were told something different then their policy and since we don't work there, and that had been our first time there, we did not know their policy, and decided to trust what they said. Don't do it. The doctor seemed intelligent and caring, just do not believe what Travis or Becky say. Even when my husband called Dr Simpson's assistant to see if they could explain anything, she called back and rudely said "I don't know who you are or what you want..." So |

Very reliable doctor with good attitude and special attention..., Sep 6, 2011 Dr. Sam, as I call him, provides me with exellent health care for what I think is a fair price. Their practice charges a bit more to be a member of, but I certainly receive more than just compensation in attention and expertise. Dr. Sam's practice provides a standard of healthcare that all patients should have access to. I would like to see a tax rebate available for those of us who put in in more money for healthcare on top of insurance, but I won't hold my breath for that. Bottom line for me and my family is that we would not trust anyone else with our health and well being outiside of Dr. Sam's practice. We actually chose not to move out of Peoria mostly for this reason. |
