By far the most thoughtful and considerate physician. Her balance of involving my 16 year old son as the patient while considering my concerns as a parent sets her apart.

My son has been under the care of Dr. Simmons for several years. She is truly one of the absolute best. She takes the time to explain everything and has provided the best medical care. This was our last appointment with Dr. Simmons and I was a little teary leaving the office because we will miss her. Vanderbilt is blessed to have Dr. Simmons on their medical team.
