Roy H Simon, MD

Gosh, was so sorry to read about Dr. Simon’s passing. Dr. Simon was instrumental when it came time for me to have back surgery back in 2008. He did a test on me to see where the pain was actually coming from before they went in. You are basically awake as they insert a needle into your back. Mine was at L5 S1 I forgot the name of the procedure but it was done at the surgi center in Torrance. I did not find Dr. Simon rude at all. He was a New Yorker, and had that New York accent. I got it… he talked fast and I did ask him to slow down for me which he did. He was SUPER nice to me. I really could not thank him more– because of that test, my back surgery was a success and have not had any problems since. Dr. Tiffany Rogers did my surgery. Condolences to Dr. Simon’s family and employees.

Rest in peace Roy Howard Simon MD. So sad to hear about Dr. Simon’s death.
Dr. Simon did more for me than any doctor has ever.
He went to bat with my insurance company, many times, on my behalf.
I was a patient of Dr. Simon’s for nearly ten years.
Dr. Simon was fast talking and fast moving. However, Dr. Simon always slowed down to explained things to me when I asked him to. I was ALWAYS treated very nice, as if I was the most important patient. A great man and Doctor. Dr. Simon, you will be missed.

Dr Simon treated me for 15 years– my back was in such bad shape I could only walk on an underwater treadmill in the beginning of my therapy. He had an amazing PT area with the best equipment and a wonderful staff. I had at least two surgeons tell me I had to have surgery but Dr Simon explained why it wasn’t a good idea and we did an IDET procedure instead– it was pretty cutting edge and a lot of Drs had never heard of it. He always wanted to do the least invasive procedure possible… and I was able to go back to work. I do have flare ups, but I am really glad I never had the spinal fusion. Dr Simon was the best at what he did… and he cared deeply for his patients– why do we expect Drs to be perfect? He was a busy man with lots of good to do– and sometimes he could talk too fast or may be be a tad blunt– so what? I find it cowardly and ugly that people hide behind their computers and write things they really know nothing about. Well I KNEW Dr Simon– he was an amazing Dr and an interesting and terribly funny man with a BIGGER THAN LIFE personality. Bottom line though– he was a loving human being who cared about people more than any other Dr I had ever gone to. I can’t believe he’s gone… I know he’ll be missed terribly. My love goes to his family and his staff… this man can never be replaced.

I felt like I had met an old great friend and a wonderful doctor in Dr. Simon. I will miss you doctor and my prayers will be with you and your family.

I was shocked to hear Dr. Simon had left us. I just had an epidural procedure with all the great people at Coast surgical Center last week and he was really nice to me. I was looking forward to having further treatment with this incredibly knowledgable, caring man. My heart goes out to all his family and friends as well as the the fine people at his office. If anyone knows the causation of his passing, please email me at
. Rest in peace Dr. Simon.

You will be missed, RIP Dr Simon. I worked with him at Coast Surgery Center. Still can’t believe he’s gone.

Great doctor. He is very knowledgeable. The staff was very friendly too.

This was an enjoyable visit. It was quick and gave me the much needed relief I needed. I was finaly able to get a solid nights sleep.

I have posted a review before, but Unilocal took it down (I can’t help but notice that he has paid for a listing). No matter. I will keep posting for as long as it takes to warn people about this guy.
Went to see this Dr. and he was not only completely not helpful, but he was abusive and used profane language. I actually heard him yelling at an old lady. I did not want to pay because the «service» was so terrible and he did nothing for me. They refused to waive the deductible amount and so I had to sue him to get our money back and I won!
Look him up on the California Medical Board website to see his history of criminal behavior and drug abuse. I wish I had done so before I went and saw this psycho! His license has been suspended in the past for operating under the influence and a myriad of other crimes.

Seen doc 3 times. No complaints. Office staff is super nice. His surgery center staff are extremely efficient. Definitely would recommend for pain relief.
