Came in to see Dr. Simon as a follow up to my spine surgery from 2+ weeks ago. I appreciate that he takes his time and explains the medical and recovery procedures easy for me to understand. I am very happy with his care and that of the staff at Excel Orthopaedic Specialists.

Dr.Simon is the kindest most caring surgeon I've ever had! He spends time explaining everything. When I was in the hospital, he took time at the end of his day to visit me. A+!!!
