    I have been blessed to be taking my son to this office. Last time we had a long wait due to simek having to be at hospital but staff fully informed us, helped with oxygen, Simek was very thorough and listened when going over meds and asked questions I hadn't thought of. This visit was very quick, we didn't need to make changes, son is stable, but the nurse was friendly, Simek asked several times if we had any questions.

  • August 21, 2025

    No bad experiences! We had an amazing first experience with Dr. Simek!

  • August 21, 2025

    I also really want to recognize Dr. Simek. The amount of knowledge, kindness, and listening skills he has is such a breath of fresh air. I almost cancelled our appointment (hoping that I'd figured out my daughter's issues on my own) but I am so glad I didn't. He listened to every aspect of issues we've had with our daughter's [...] over the last few years. I left the appointment feeling seen, heard and relieved to have a plan in place for helping my child achieve success in the bathroom again. I am so grateful for his help and knowledge! I will be recommending him to everyone that even has a slight issue with their child going poop.
