Erin Simms-Edwards, MD

Took my daughter to see her, we were concerned she had polyps. the Dr. was fantastic, personable, patient and did a great job with our 9 year old — in what was a really uncomfortable procedure. She thoroughly explained everything to our daughter so she knew what to expect, did the procedure quickly and then gave our daughter a lollipop, which she thoroughly deserved after having a tube shoved up her nose. I would definitely recommend her.

Dr. Simms-​Edwards was a total godsend to us. She was able to see my daughter immediately after a sports injury (broken nose) and also fit her in to her surgery schedule the next day to make it possible for my daughter to travel to an important out of state tournament the next day. As a college athlete herself, we truly appreciated that she understood how important this event was to my daughter. She was kind, upbeat, professional and thorough. Children’s Hospital is lucky to have her!

I could never express how happy and please my family and I are with Dr Sims-​Edwards. She has been nothing but amazing and sweet to my 2 year old along with myself. After seeing multiple Drs who had no answers and were not sure what was going on and leaving me confused, scared, and worried about my little girl Dr Sims-​Edwards has given me nothing but answers. If i could have her as a pediatrician I would! My has performed two outpatient surgeries on my 2 year old in one month. You could imagine all the emotions a mother would be going through, but Dr was always cheerful, smiling, comforting and always gave me the reassurance that everything is ok. My 2 year old has come to know who she is and is quite fond of her as well. Even when I had questions that may have been not so important but seemed urgent to myself, she was there answering her cell phone after hours reassuring me that everything I was concerned about is normal and if it wasnt she had me in the exact next morning. All while still in a cheerful mood and laughing. We are going on 3 months of having follow ups every 2 weeks with her and she in nothing but thorough and explains everything to us as well as answers all our questions.
I could never thank her enough for how well she has treated my daughter and family, how comforting she could of possibly made me feel with each surgery.
I would give her 5+ stars! she is great!
Thank you Dr Sims-​Edwards!

I would wait weeks and hours for Dr. Simms-​Edwards. Don’t confuse the office with the doctor. She’s a hero to our family and I will be grateful to her for the rest of my life for the care and expertise she brought to attending to our 2 year old son.

I really like Dr. Simms Edwards, but cannot recommend her due to the shocking way her staff treat patients. It’s common to be cut off, put on hold and never spoken to again, have weekly calls never returned, etc. I wish I could say they are overworked or busy which is probably the case, but the practices are just plain patient abuse. I recommend staying away from this office and Dr. Simms Edwards.

I wanted to award Dr. Simms-​Edwards a badge after I saw her yesterday. Not a police badge, but something like a Sherlock Holmes badge because of her terrific detective skills. (Only, quite honestly, she’s much nicer than Shersock was reputed to be.)
I came to see her after 3 – 4 other unsuccessful attempts with other doctors. I handed over to her the growing bag of clues, all of them mis-​diagnosed by the others, and she made short work of solving the mysteries. She was able to tie in a lot of seemingly unrelated symptoms to a comprehensive, understandable diagnosis and methods to deal with it.
Further, she was able to see it so easily, and she made it clear to me why her suggestions, completely different from those of anyone else, were obviously what was going on. Made me feel like I’d gone into the dark mines with all the other doctors, and never struck gold. But she… she was able to say, «Hey! Why don’t we turn on a light down here?!»

Dr Simms-​Edwards was great. I had a nasty sinus and chest infection that wouldn’t quit, and her information and perscriptions were exactly what my body needed. My primary care physician had prescribed an antibiotic that wasn’t the right fit, and Dr. Simms-​Edwards knew what would work and also what not to take while on it.
I read the other reviews, and was surprised about the wait. It’s always a challenge to visit the doctor on lunch break and have to wait more than expected. Suggestion to try to book the appointment in the early morning so you’re one of the first in the office.
Dr. Simms-​Edwards is great. She was very friendly and took the time to explain everything to me. I wouldn’t see anyone else.

I agree with the other reviewer that it takes a while to get an appt (4 weeks for me) and they run behind schedule (close to an hour) but i felt it was worth it as she was great. she is super friendly/​outgoing/​interested and doesnt rush you or the appt in anyway – probably the reaon for the wait – so i will do that trade anytime as i didnt feel rushed at all. she was very thorough and thoughtful and answered all of my questions and she was extremely competent. so i would highly recommend her as a dr with the caveat that if you have an urgent situation it would be an issue as she books 4 weeks out.

I called the office on 7÷15÷08 to get an appointment with Dr. Erin Simms-​Edwards. The soonest available time was 3 weeks later on August 5^th. The Front Office Staff sent me an e-​mail requesting to pre-​register information. The day before my appointment, like a good Patient, I attempted to enter their registration site 3 times to pre-​register but to no avail the system would not let me. I contacted the office and the staff said, «oh yeah we’ve had some calls regarding that. Just come in a bit earlier to complete the paperwork.» I showed up about 5 minutes early for my appointment. I completed requested paperwork and upon turning it in I asked if the Dr. was running behind. There was a pause from the staff and then they stated that she was running about 30 minutes late. OK, I get it. I want good service as well so I really shouldn’t gripe about 30 minutes because hopefully she’ll give me the same attention. I went to sit back down and waited… waited… waited. Finally 50 minutes past my scheduled appointment I asked the staff how much longer. Really they didn’t have an answer. I proceeded to ask if I reschedule would it take me 3 weeks to get another appointment only to wait again in the waiting room and they said yes it would take 3 weeks. Frustrated I sat back down and waited. Finally after 1 hour past my schedule appointment I had enough of waiting. I’m sure Dr. Simms-​Edwards is a good Doctor; she’s quite busy but I fine it rude to keep a new patient waiting after it taking 3 weeks to get the appointment. Oh and they kept telling Patients walking in that she was only 30 minutes behind. Maybe me leaving speed up her timing. I, on the other hand, was late for my next appointment!

Dr. Simms-​Edward is an excellent ENT (ear, nose & throat) specialist. She was very warm and friendly and very easy to talk to. The exam was quick and without any discomfort. She was very thorough in covering my symptoms and medications. She also seemed to care about following up with me. I would definitely recommend her.
