Dr. Albert Carleton Simmonds, MD

If I could rate Dr Simmonds a zero, I would. He delivered our baby st Shady Grove (or should I say that he was supposed to deliver our baby) and he was not there when we needed him the most. The umbilical cord was wrapped around our baby's neck and he walked into the delivery room late, didn't say anything, and took absolutely no initiative while watching the nurses struggle with cutting the cord. Even before that moment we found Dr Simmonds to be calous, lazy, and uninterested in doing his job or explaining what was happening to me or my wife. My wife was admitted to the hospital and was in labor with broken water for over 18 hours before he even made a visit and even then he didn't do a physical exam. The 2nd time he appeared was when he finally did a physical exam where he broke the water fully. He walked in and walked out in about 2 minutes. He clearly doesn't care about the well being of his patients. To further add insult to injury he told us that we were overreacting. 

Dr. A Simmonds is wonderful! He’s a great listener and answers questions before you even realize you would have had that question so you leave fully informed. New electronic system makes check-ins, prescriptions, and communication quick and easy.

I went to Dr. Simmonds for my prenatal appointments and is by far my favorite doctor in that entire practice. He is very nice, very easy to talk to, and always answers my questions. He helps me in every way possible. Just overall amazing doctor. For my next pregnancy I will definitely be going back to him.

Dr Simmonds is the most arrogant Dr I have ever dealt with in my life and he was wrong about my diagnosis too. He was so rude and he misdiagnosed a serious problem which was taken care of elsewhere thank goodness. If he would have listened he might have actually helped.

A life saver!! Dr. Simmonds had an excellent bedside manner, gentle and professional! His staff were friendly, kind and efficient. Having temporarily no health insurance, his office visit was at a steal with their unique 30% discount off of an already reasonable regular office visit fee, especially considering they re specialists with a normally significantly higher tier of payments. I cannot say enough good things about my experience there-overall wonderful (and that s saying a lot, considering what one goes there for)!

I find Dr.Simmonds to be a good doctor ,he listens and solves the issues.Sometimes there might be a bit of a wait but takes the time to listen.

Dr. Simmonds ONLY cares about MONEY, and not at all about his patients.
