Doctor was nice but one of staff was really stupid
I have been one of Dr. Sim's patients since his very early days in Downey. In this time, I have had several illnesses and surgeries. One illness was quite mysterious and I was sick for three months. Dr. Sim understood my anxiety. He worked the problem backwards - from most likely to least likely. He kept working until he found the answers. He is a doctor who will work with you. He is a doctor who returns your calls - sometimes within minutes. He explains and he listens.
Dr. Sim has been my doctor for the past 8-10 years. He has been great. Always there to take care of me. I am really glad I found him and his office. I most appreciate the walk-in appointments I am almost always able to make.
I was very impressed with Dr. Sim. My husband had been seeing another doctor who diagnosed him with COPD and gave an inhaler, but as symptoms got worse, the doctor just gave him another inhaler. I knew something was more serious so I changed his primary care physician to Dr. Sim. We came into his office on a Monday, January 2016. Dr. Sim knew immediately that my husband was very sick. He ordered some tests and by Friday my husband was admitted into the hospital. That is what I call thorough.
Dr Sim is very caring and professional. He listens to you and knows exactly how to care for you. He was recommended to me by a friend and best Dr I have ever had. Thank you Dr Sim for being my Doctor.
Dr. Sim put my dad in a skilled nursing home for muscle weakness. One day during his 3rd week there, my dad became very disoriented & was breathing too fast. I complained to the nurse & she informed Dr. Sim of my concern. Sim had her tell me that the reason it looked like my dad was breathing too fast was because he was so skinny. I knew that was not the case & continued to complain & call Sim's office, but I was ignored & nothing was done to help my dad. He died of sepsis 6 days later.
Business response:
I remember the case well. I did go over what actually took place with a daughter who is still seeing me as a patient. It appears there was significant misunderstanding of the case by another family member. At any rate, I am saddened by the loss of a dear gentleman who had been my patient for twenty years. He and his wife (my patient as well) had been like friends to me.
Dr. Sim is the best Dr. I've ever been to. He saved the life of my sister-in-law. I can't recommend him enough. He knows when to send you to a specialist and refers you to some of the best Drs. in their field.
Dr Sim is amazing. I moved out of the state so I had to leave him but he has been my doctor for 10 years. I recommend him to EVERYONE and not one has told me they didn't like him. HIs staff is wonderful and he is very attentive. I couldn't ask for a better doctor!!!
At first I thought Dr. Sim to be a great doctor, until my last visit when I was voicing my concern to him and he decided to bolt out of the room, telling me that hes too busy, and that he answers one concern a day for each patient, lets talk next time. What?!?! I could have a serious condition and you go off being unprofessional like that? Shows how much he cares for his patients and their health!!!
Business response:
I try to address all the concerns a patient brings, but sometimes when they are being worked into a full schedule, I try to limit the issues to one item so that previously scheduled patients do not have to wait too long. At any rate, I am sorry about the perception. I'd be happy to address any concern.
