Timothy C Simmons, M.D. Gastroenterology

Was in for a new patient appointment and despite arriving early to do all the paperwork, it was 2 hours after my appointment time that I was put in the exam room. The nurse’s excuse was «the doctor likes to spend time with his patients» and the doctor’s excuse was «out computers crashed today». The sales rep were having a good time back there though.

I am a 56 yr old healthy woman but I have never in my life experienced such horrible service from a doctor and his office in my life. First it took 2 months to get a colonoscopy scheduled even though I was having problems. They gave me a Sat. early morning appt. in May which I cut short an international business trip to make. When I arrived the office was not even open. Called, they were sorry, gave me another appt the next week, no one was there AGAIN. Finally got the procedure but had to wait 3 hours in the waiting room.
Now, 2 months late, no follow up appt. was given and I am having scary problems. Called, was hung up on, called again was put on hold 20 minutes, called again and now told I can’t get an appt for 2 months and I should go to emergency room.
This is uncalled for and I strongly suggest you DO NOT see this doctor. I planned on contacting the necessary medical boards to complain.
