"I was impressed by Dr. Simon the first time I saw him. He did not disappoint and kept an upbeat attitude throughout the entire process. More to the point, he is as down to earth a Dr. as I have ever encountered. To say nothing of his experience and expertise in this type of surgery. Because I was high risk due to a past PE, Dr Simon has decided to send me home taking shots of blood thinners each day for the next 14 days. He is so careful to dot all the i's and cross all the t's. In trying to evaluate Dr. Simon on his bedside manner compared to his sugical competence, I find it a very difficult call. I would have to say he is equal in both catagories and I am very glad I put myself in his practiced able hands. "
