Simmons Center for Obstetrics and Gynecology

Dr. Simmons is a great doctor for gynecology. He really helped me pin point my hormone problems. He is precautious and checks every possible prognosis before treatment. However, the past few months, his staff is new every visit. He seems to have high turnover. My calls are never returned from triage. His scheduler scheduled me on a day their sonogram tech wasn’t here for my very first pregnancy appointment. I was very disappointed. I have waited an hour for every visit to be called back into an exam room. My pregnancy visits are rushed and never informative. Don’t know what’s happened or why the down turn but I am switching doctors.

I couldn’t ask for better care. Dr. Simmons and his staff always treat me as if I’m the only patient. It’s not uncommon to wait at any doctor’s office and I’d like to think that’s because when you get time with the doctor, it’s your time. You can ask all the questions you need to feel comfortable and understand. I’ve also had an out patient procedure with Dr. Simmons and his team, and I was very pleased with how it went. He is honest and caring. He will explain all of your options and how each option has pros and cons. I feel like his personalized care has made a world of difference in how I view the health concerns that his tends to.

I’ve gone to Dr. Simmons for over a decade now and he is an excellent doctor. He’s extremely thorough and cares about his patients and not revenue like most doctors these days. If you’re:
–looking for a quick prescription that’s going to hurt you more than it helps
–want a doctor that only spends 2 minutes with you a delegates most of the responsibility to the nursing staff
Then he is NOT the doctor for you.
If you want a doctor:
–That goes above and beyond to make sure you understand your medical condition.
–Extremely caring and gentle
–Has appointments after 6pm and Saturdays
–Respects your desires and isn’t pushy
–Is passionate about medicine and is always studying the latest research to most effectively treat his patients.
Then he is the doctor for you.
I can honestly say he’s had an unreliable/​unprofessional staff for several months but he seems to be working out those kinks and my experiences are always pleasant.
Dr. Simmons, Barbara, Pam and his cute Sono guy are rockstars!

I am 12 weeks pregnant with my first child. I moved to Dallas 2 years ago so I don’t know much about where the best care can be received. My primary care physicians office staff recommended Dr. Simmons to me. On my first visit he just wanted to speak to me. He explained that his wife has children and that he would treat me just like he would treat his wife. He gave praises to the hospital where he delivers saying that they are the absolute best and assured that they would make me completely comfortable. I was happy with his service. I then went for my 1^st sonogram where the staff seemed a bit rushed. They only had expired prenatal vitamins and never gave me a due date. I was told that I needed to schedule my well woman whatever that is so I did that. Thats when things went downhill. I was rescheduled twice and had to wait over 30 minutes at my scheduled appointment today. When I expressed my concern to simmons he simply said fine find a new doctor. I had a prescription that was sent to the wrong pharmacy and the office had my lab results for 3 weeks before telling me anything. Overall it was a stressful situation.

I’m so glad I looked at Unilocal for this! Dr. Chad Simmons is such a wonderful doctor and I just met him! He has such an easy personality to get along with and truly wants to know his patients! Went in for a pre-​pregnancy consult and I left there with such confidence that I made the right choice. I’m a dentist and I have never had a doctor be so thorough about the health of the patients in a wholistic way. I was shocked (in a good way) when he told me he always makes sure the patient goes regularly to the dentist during pregnancy. He makes sure you are involved in exercise, getting regular dental cleanings (pregnancy gingivitis is very common as well as getting cavities when pregnant) as well as getting in to see any specialist needed to make sure you have any easy pregnancy. His staff is wonderful. Very helpful, got me in fast and so pleasant. Heather was my nurse and she is such a sweet person! I am so happy to have him as my OBGYN!

This guy is wonderful! He and his staff are both very friendly. They made me feel comfortable during my visit, and I didn’t feel rushed or «brushed off» because I had questions! I absolutely love how thorough he was with my concerns, and he went over and gave me options/​recommendations; I’ve been through multiple OB-​Gyns, trying to find someone who cared, and I’ve found him. An office that worked me in, same-​day and late afternoon appointments? Thank goodness!

I moved from Los Angeles to Dallas a month before my due date and needed to transfer to a great doctor. A friend from college in Dallas had two friends who had Dr Simmons as their doctor for their births and LOVED him. So I made an appointment and was beyond impressed.
His office is very well put together and clean. Everyone working there was friendly and competent. Dr. Simmons is geniune and bright. He cares about each of his patients and their babies and is happy to see you. He doesn’t act rushed or tired. He takes his time with you. He thoughtfully addressed all my concerns and wanted to know my preferences. They also do all the ultra sounds at the office and are very thorough with the babies.
For the birth, he rushed over from Fortworth (it was labor day weekend and the baby came quick). Even though a different Doctor was on call, he wanted to be there for the birth and make sure we were comfortable. He delivers at Richardson, which was a dream. For my first, I gave birth at one of the nicest hospitals in Germany, and I thought this birth and experience was superior.
The nurses make choices based on what your doctor wants, and Dr. Simmons makes choices based on what you want. The nurses were excellent. I had a very peaceful, natural birth. Dr. Simmons helped me turn when my son’s shoulders got stuck, quickly took the cord off his neck, and did a great job with the few stitches I had. I definetely trusted him.
I had a complication after the birth with blood clotting and too much blood loss. Dr. Simmons was careful about watching my progress while I healed instead of just rushing to a blood transfusion. He and his office called me several times after the birth.
He wants to know what is happening with his patients and gets back to them quickly. His wife also works at the practice. She is so sincere and helpful.
When he talked to me about birth control options, he knew which birth control would help me with my hormones but made sure I knew that a recent study showed that more hormones from it are getting passed on to the baby when nursing than was thought. I decided to try it in a year, and he recommended a dermatologist to help with my small hormonal outbreak.
I wanted to be very thorough in this review to help you know what kind of doctor he is. Such a smart, careful, and sincere one, right?
