Report
Dr. Nathan Simmons is the best. Not only has he had the patience to work with me for so many years, but he also finds ways to challenge me and make me a better person. I suffer from PTSD, schizophrenia and numerous other issues. I am a better person for knowing Dr. Simmons. Doctors with his level of dedication are far and few between.
