Dr. Simmons is absolutely amazing! I had an issue with my retainers not fitting correctly and I was able to text her & she met me at her office, despite it being Sunday, and helped me to resolve the issue. She is always very kind and you can tell she truly cares for her patients. Her staff is very friendly/welcoming too. I’m very happy with my experience with them and I am super excited about my Invisalign results!Posted on CW2021-08-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Simons is so professional and specializes in providing excellent orthodontic care. For my first visit, I had a consultation to determine if I was a candidate for Invisalign. It was very informative and allowed me to have a clear picture of what to expect in the following months. During the pandemic, she followed up to ensure I adjusted to my new Invisalign trays in between my appointments. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking to improve your smile. She completely transformed my smile.
