Kelly Simms, ND

Dr Simms is outstanding! A compassionate professional, great listener, and great coach!
I felt comfortable discussing my health, and discussing my areas in need of improvement. Listening Dr Simms made some suggestions and I happily had immediate results after my initial in office consult. Dr Simms has an impressive knowledge base, explains scientific concepts into an easy plan to follow.
After initial consult: it was a smooth process of lab testing, and follow-​up office appointment recommendations! Great discussions/​great results. I am thankful for and highly recommend Dr Simms!

Dr. Simms has gone above and beyond every doctor and medical specialist that I have seen, and my decision to continually work with her on improving my health and wellness has quite literally changed my life!
During my junior year of college, I was hospitalized due to severe anemia from unexplainable gastrointestinal bleeding. The GI bleeding was microscopic, so I was completely unaware that I had lost over half of the blood in my body until I arrived at the hospital feeling incredibly weak, fatigued, and in need of multiple blood transfusions. After undergoing countless tests, procedures, and scans (all of which came back with «normal» results), and visiting numerous traditional GI and autoimmune doctors over the course of 16 months, each of my doctors told me that there was nothing they could do for me; they had no answers as to why or how I was bleeding, and suggested that I will just have to live with GI bleeds, anemia, medications, and iron IVs for the rest of my life.
At this time, I sought out Dr. Simms, and it didn’t take long for me to realize that she is an expert in her field, and would be of great help to me. Through extensive testing and analysis that was not offered to me by any of the other doctors I had seen, Dr. Simms was able to determine that I have several food sensitivities, and bacterial overgrowth/​imbalances in my gut that had been causing all of my health issues — two concepts that were never even acknowledged by any of my other doctors. She created a treatment plan for me that focused on diet, nutrition, and natural supplementation, and I began to feel better almost instantly; my GI bleeding completely subsided, I stopped receiving regular iron IVs, and other health issues that I have dealt with for years, such as chronic inflammation, skin problems, breathing difficulties, and severe joint pain, have disappeared as well!
What I love about Dr. Simms is that she focuses on identifying and treating the underlying cause of your health issues, rather than simply managing the symptoms that arise on the surface as a result. She also realizes that there is no one-​size-​fits-​all approach to optimal health, and what works for one person may not work for another; she is thorough and patient, listens intently, asks smart questions, and adjusts treatment plans as needed to ensure that improvements are continual. I am also impressed with Dr. Simms’s communication, as I am able to reach her outside of my appointments (by phone or email) as needed, and she is always prompt to reply — something that you won’t find with most other doctors. It is very clear that she genuinely cares about her patients, and her knowledge, compassion, and reliability is demonstrated in every appointment!

Clearly more interested in running a business then caring for her patients. Disappointing considering I gladly paid 100% out of pocket to see an ND for more hands on care. Any MD would call with a follow-​up on test results when infections are suspected and at minimum confirm appointments. Kelly Simms clearly is waiting for any moment to rob you. My abnormal test results sat on her desk for almost 3 weeks, no call. When I got stuck in an accident and was 15 minutes late — She refused to see me and charged half of the appointment fee. Mind you this was only the second time seeing me, you think you would have better customer service for a new patient.
Horrible horrible horrible!
I’d give a negative star to the front desk staff as well. I will also add, I felt very uncomfortable that part of my labs were order under another doctors name that I never met.

Dr Simms is awesome! My story is pretty basic: I had been having terrible migraines and digestive issues (amongst other things) for over a year. I visited countless doctors and was prescribed numerous RX to mask my symptoms. I was growing more and more frustrated until a close friend referred me to Dr. Simms. I’m SO glad he did, she is fantastic! She really treats «YOU” — the whole person and takes her time to really get as much information as possible. She is thorough, knowledgable and kind. I’ve never felt rushed or like I wasn’t being heard or understood — but most importantly I feel so much better. She has really figured out how to help me make my life healthier and I feel great! I would definitely recommend her to a friend.

I am incredibly impressed with Dr. Simms. Aside from the additional diagnostic testing and treatments I have been unable to find through traditional doctors, she been thoughtful, knowledgeable, and kind through every interaction. I always feel like I am getting personal and customized treatment. She has been proactive, taking the time to e-​mail me and speak with me on the phone between visits, and provided guidance around complex lab testings and navigating insurance obstacles.
I highly recommend Dr. Simms for anyone seeking a medical opinion, period, and especially those seeking holistic and natural approaches to healing and health.

I couldn’t be happier with my choice of Kelly Simms as my doctor. She is so sharp that she picked up some things that my regular doctor never even considered. She helped develop a plan to get my health back on track and in a matter of days, I started to feel better. I still have a ways to go, of course, but it feels good to know I have someone with her knowledge guide me. Honestly, I consider her my main go-​to doctor now, and even if it means I have to pay a little extra — my health is worth it.

I wish I could have been going to see Dr Sims my entire life. Better late than never! She has saved me and I am feeling better physically, sharper mentally and younger by 10 years. I agree with Tom, getting to the real root of the problem and assessing what is really happening is the only way to solve health problems. After Menopause I thought my life was over, not sure I could continue to work. Instead I feel better than I have in years by following Dr Sims advice which was based on looking at all the facts and knowing what was really happening to me. This makes so much more sense than the regular Dr visits I was used to. I never hesitate to recommend Dr Sims.

Dr. SImms is a godsend to me. I have suffered with chronic bladder infections all of my life, and until I found Dr. Simms, I was stuck with doctors whose only solution was antibiotics. They never, ever spent one second trying to discover WHY my body was unable to fight off the infections. I’d been to a urologist, and he was absolutely NO help AT ALL! Big waste of money. His answer? Antibiotics. I knew that was a horrible answer… even when I was young, I knew it was not a real solution to my problem, but just caused more problems, like yeast infections, for one. So, I thank God for leading me to Dr. Simms, because she actually works with me to discover WHY… what is it about my diet, lifestyle, lack of nutrients, etc, that could be hindering my own body’s ability to fight off bacteria. Since seeing her, over the past year, I have not had to take a single antibiotic, and rarely have any bladder pain at all! This is like a miracle to me, and I am so very grateful to her! She is also helping me to increase my bone density naturally, without drugs, to combat my osteoporosis. Not only that, but she has a way to test how much calcium my body is not absorbing, in between the once-​a-​year DEXA Scan, so we can see if our natural regimen is working. She has blood testing done, so that she can tailor my treatments to exactly where I am deficient.
She keeps tabs on my progress, and if something is not working, she makes adjustments to get it right. She takes the time it takes… however long it may be. She listens. She will even do «phone visits» if I can’t go into the city. She is very smart. She knows a lot about pharmaceuticals, and is more than willing to «work with» and «not against» doctors to help me. I can email her, too, which is helpful. She is very accessible, which is more than I can say for any doctors I’ve ever had!

I came to Dr. Simms after doing extensive research into my general gastrointestinal distress. I hadn’t gotten anywhere after years of pursuing the traditional channels. So I read everything I could find on getting to the root of the issue and finding solutions. I then looked for practitioners in the area and all roads led to Dr. Simms. She listened extensively to my symptoms and had me undergo several test that traditionally never wouldn’t have been considered. The results gave me insight that I haven’t had in 20 years of searching. Then we developed a specific protocol with precise action items to solve the issues once and for all. I am improving and headed towards answers and recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Simms if you want not only specific answers to your questions but concrete solutions that you have not been able to find.
