Dr. Simon's is undoubtedly one of the best doctors I've ever encountered, if not the best. Throughout my experiences thus far, I've never felt rushed, unheard, or uncared for. His persona, professionalism, and authenticity radiate through his office, evident in every interaction. I sincerely hope that more doctors start adopting a similar approach to patient care, striving to emulate the level of compassion and attention to detail that Dr. Simon consistently provides.

Dr Simon did facial reconstruction for my wife after [specified] surgery two years ago. We are both very pleased with the outcome. My visit was to scope my sinuses and get Dr's diagnosis. I was surprised to be able to get in so quickly. Went very smoothly and I was even able to watch on large screen! Very appreciative of Dr's skill and great communication.

This was a follow up to my sinus surgery. Dr Simon is very kind and patient. He made me feel comfortable about every step of the surgery/aftercare. He explains things in detail. He does not rush the appointment. He lets you ask as many questions as necessary. It is hard to find a specialist who cares and isn’t rushing for the appointment to be over. Surgery was the last thing I wanted but it was very necessary for me. I would highly recommend Dr Simon.

Disclosures

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
