Terry Simpson, MD

Please think twice! Horrible service and experience from the provider and staff! I suspect the reason there are not many «bad» reviews is because they bully you and make extremely false statements if you tell your story. This happened to me (see below). Pretty sad really. I refuse to be bullied! I am not going to go into detail about my situation except to say to use caution and go with your gut.
Anyone who knows me, knows I would NEVER EVER ask a provider to submit false information. I can’t believe that not only did he insinuate this lapband failure was MY FAULT, which it was not, but threw in that I was trying to get him to falsify records (note his very tricky wording in his response). THAT NEVER HAPPENED. PATHETIC. I refuse to be bullied!!! Question WHY most of his reviews are good and if there is an issue, it’s not about him. Check out his google reviews, there is a man who says something like «I have to respond to these negative reviews…» yet, magically, there are no negative reviews reflecting prior to the post. Interesting, right?! Also, Jineane F. Is Jineane Ford, a paid endorser (notice the photos on the page and her profile photo). Wonder how many of these are the same.
I also need to look into HIPPA violations here as my first Google review reflected my first and last name.
Fortunately, I was able to find an amazing plan and I lost weight on my own and am now enjoying life with my husband and beautiful babies. Oh, I can say one good thing, Dr. Morales was kind and very easy to work with, however, he is no longer with the practice.
One other note, ask different bariatric surgeons. My new, much, much better surgeon told me he takes more bands out than he puts in. I’m sure research will start to catch up with the truth, lapband failure is probably much more common than this surgeon thinks.
Wishing you the best on your journey, whatever you choose. I know how difficult the process is and hope yours turns out better than mine. :)

Ab solution! Absolutely saved my life. I had some health issues come up with cancer. I was too obese to have a hysterectomy. My precancerous cells were growing. No medication was working. I found Dr. Simpson through a friend of mine from work who had his surgery with him. Dr. Simpson was awesome, kind friendly, knowledgeable about the different types of procedures he offered. He answered all my questions. His staff was extremely proactive in my procedure even calling me at home to see how I was. I was always treated kind even when I felt like I was grumpy. They always put me in a good mood. I live alone. My support system was limited but these guys are just a phone call away. Even now 10 months out, 135lbs down from the surgery plus the 80 on my own for a total of 2I5 lbs, I’m ecstatic about my life. He gave me all the tools I needed to succeed and he still supports my goals. His staff is always ready to answer my questions and any concerns as I work my way through this nutritional maze. I like that they help you find results in everyday choices and encourage you to try new things and even old things. Everyone’s experience is different and your your own competition but they keep you on track help you stay focused. You have to be proactive ultimately its you who does the work. He and his staff are just facilitators, who all become your «cheer block» as you reach your goals. You get there with their love and support. I thank him and his staff everyday for this gift. Thank you Dr. Terry! And thank you to your staff for always helping me move forward and encouraging me to do MY best.

My lap band was installed in Chicago over seven years ago by a different doctor. The last couple of years I’ve been having a lot of issues with acid reflux. I finally realized, with a few other symptoms, that it was the lap band that was causing me the problem. My Chicago doctor forgot to tell me that I need to have the lap band x rayed once a year to confirm it stays in place properly!
Since we had moved I looked for a good bariatric specialist in AZ thinking that I would need to have the lap band removed and have the surgery for the gastric sleeve. Imagine my surprise when his staff calmly and matter of factly did an upper GI and said yes the lap band is your problem. See the pouch that has developed?
Then Dr. Simpson saw me and said let’s try the most conservative treatment first. He removed the water from the band and put me on a liquid diet for two weeks. He explained all of the options and told me let’s just take it one step at a time.
I was really impressed with his knowledge, manner and professionalism. I feel confident that he will fix the band moving and will then help me maintain the weight loss. Great job!

I have been a patient of Dr Simpsons for over 12 years now. He has helped me lose 250 pounds and keep them off! Anytime I ever have an emergency he is there to offer advice and help. Last week I had an issue and was able to message him on the weekend and he got back to me. Amazing Doctor, Amazing staff.

Dr. Simpson and his staff are amazing! If you want the best surgeon, see Dr. Simpson. He is very supportive and helps you to achieve the results you want. I highly recommend Dr. Simpson and his great team!

Dr. Terry Simpson is My Doctor! He did my Lap band and is the BEST! :)

Where do I begin? I’ve known for the last couple of years that I’ve wanted to get a lap band from Dr. Simpson. I had first seen him on Sonoran Living Live and then after that I followed him on Twitter. For about a year I would tweet or Facebook him questions about the procedure and he would always get back to me in a timely manner, I wasn’t even his patient yet!
I am now his patient and as a former surgical scrub tech and now RN, I know I chose the best surgeon to do this procedure for me. The surgery was flawless, I was up and at em’, chasing around my toddler three days after my surgery. I would have questions or concerns and he asked me to email him. When I emailed him, he would reply within 5 minutes time and one time he was even OUT OF THE COUNTRY and still replied quickly and said to email him whenever I had a concern. I have NEVER seen patient care like this, truly amazing. Dr. Simpson cares about his patients and their outcome. He wants the procedure to work for them and as long as you follow his guidelines you will be successful. I highly recommend Dr. Simpson for the lap band procedure.

Dr. Simpson is the most amazing Weight loss doctor! He really takes time to get to know you and works with you to meet your goals. I’ve had my lap band for over 5 years and it still works beautifully! I recommend him time and time again!
