Dr. Simonetti provides outstanding care. She is an attentive listener and I never feel as if she is rushing through her time with me to get to her next patient. She's thoughtful about checking my levels and proposing tests, explaining what a lower level might indicate. I have already recommended her to others.

I wonder if the care provider has too many individuals on her panel. Some comments make it clear that she is not up to date on my history. It makes it difficult for me to feel safe with the trajectory of changes in care.

I felt that the PA was exceptional. She listened and responded to all of my questions; I did not feel rushed or given the feeling that she needed to move on to others. I was impressed that she had read the information forwarded to her from the referring physician, and was fully prepared to discuss that, and possible conditions I might have, with me. She is an excellent medical practitioner and I am pleased I was able to visit with her!

Dr Simonetti is so exceptionally compassionate, understanding, and encouraging. She shows a great deal of empathy especially considering that she sees people about essentially the same challenges every day. It has been hard to not see results as quickly as I wish they'd come, but she is helping me to not give up and continues to listen, problem solve, apply her expertise, think creatively, and resurrect hope, which is so critical for such a complex, lifelong, highly emotional and discouraging battle. If every doctor had the empathy and kindness of Simonetti, the world would be a better place.

Dr Simonetti was so compassionate and listened with understanding about my discouragement and frustration. She empathized and helped to offer ideas and create a plan that will hopefully help. I most appreciated that she helped me to feel hope when I was feeling so discouraged. Feeling hope is so critical in this situation when I'm trying to lose weight and trying not to give up on making healthy changes. I truly appreciate her compassion, her wisdom and her empathy.
