I have had hypothyroidism for nearly 20 years and I have medicated with Levothyorixine, prescribed by my general practitioner. Despite being at the correct dose (per *some* bloodwork), I was regularly cold, sometimes anxious, quick to go from not hungry to starving, and sometimes lethargic (despite living a very active lifestyle). After just two appointments with Dr. Simms and additional biometric (blood and saliva) testing, we both came to the conclusion that not only was I working against my thyroid by way of the foods that I was eating, but I was also suffering from iron and vitamin D deficiency. Additionally, I had moderate hormonal imbalances. These weren't far-fetched, non-Western conclusion, but founded in more accurate interpretations and more complete biometrics. The "prescription" was a variety of supplements to address deficiencies and excesses. I appreciate that Dr. Simms did not push me to buy the supplements offered at her clinic, as this would have been a turn-off for me. Through some research, I was able to meet my nutritional and supplements needs in an affordable way. I have not yet had my biometrics re-run, but I know that I am better off. I sleep better, feel better (mood and energy), am no longer cold, and more relaxed. I highly recommend arranging for a consultation with her and bring any existing blood work results to support your discussion. Though she was not covered by my insurance, she was well-worth the cost. And, I was able to pay for my bills with my medical savings account. read more

I recently started seeing Dr. Simms primarily to help with my menopausal symptoms as well as hoping to improve my general health. Our first appointment was virtual and I found her to be very attentive and engaging. She allowed ample time to discuss my concerns and objectives where my health was concerned. She was able to set up a protocol which included supplements, diet & exercise. Along the way, I have found her to be available to me for any questions and concerns that I may have had and has always replied in a very timely fashion. Today marks one month exactly since I've been on the regimen and I am so pleased to say that my symptoms have improved tremendously! She truly cares about helping her patients resolve their issues and attain optimal health. If you are in search of a highly qualified and knowledgeable doctor to address your WHOLE health, I strongly recommend Dr. Simms. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I was very impressed from the moment I walked into Dr. Simms office. The woman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful and the office was very clean. Dr. Simms took the time to get to know my history and gave me some good ideas to get my health back on track. She spent at least one hour with me and ordered different blood tests that have never been offered to me before. I'm looking forward to meeting with her again. read more

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! read more

I was referred to Dr. Simms from a very good friend who also believes in natural remedies vs. our american culture of being prescribed drugs that fix one ailment, yet add another issue. Her educational background is quite impressive. Her fees were all listed online so I knew what to plan for. I especially like her new electronic health record system. She was thorough in her feedback and took the time to carefully listen to all of my issues without being rushed. I look forward to my next visit. read more

I loved my experience with Dr. Simms! Her kind, professional demeanor and clear expertise immediately put me at ease and helped me open up and share my concerns. She helped me put a plan in place to work with my busy lifestyle and so far I've had success in actually following it! I'm so glad to be connected to her and consider her an excellent resource in my efforts to take control of my health and wellness! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I had been having issues with hormonal imbalances and had looked around for a naturopath before deciding to meet with Dr. Simms. Her services were of the more affordable options and I'm so glad that choose her. She spent at least an hour with me discussing my concerns, symptoms and goals. I left feeling much better about moving forward with the plan we came up with together. Her recommendations were realistic and practical. I have a follow up appointment with her in a month to review my progress and make any necessary adjustments. I would refer her to any woman having health concerns in regards to fertility or hormones. read more

My experience with Dr. Kelly Simms was literally life changing! I went to her for GI issues - I had stomach issues for 7+ years, had been to numerous doctors, specialists and hospitals, and the best "result" I had was putting me on a stomach medicine which generally masked the symptoms, but certainly never healed me, nor did it work all the time, and I would still suffer from frequent flare ups and other issues (and that was the "best" of many medicines tried and failed over the years). After two visits with Dr. Simms, we had figured out what was going on in my gut microbiome and my blood work (a few simple tests), and she put me on a 6-week herbal regimen (which was not hard to follow) which literally healed me of all my stomach issues and other issues as well; I was completely off my stomach medicine and still am to this day. It was truly life changing! One of the first things that struck me about Dr. Simms was how she really listened to everything I shared - she took detailed notes and would repeat back to me things I said, to make sure she was capturing everything correctly. She always sent me home with a clear plan of action and next steps - which she was diligent to make sure I was comfortable with. She is thorough, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about what is going on with you - she looks at the WHOLE person, not just symptoms, and devises a plan that's best for YOU....not just some canned "solution" trying to fit you in a box. Dr. Simms' responsiveness is also invaluable. I tend to ask a lot of questions and she always responded promptly and never made me feel like I was bugging her. She was available via email and phone, if need be, and that meant the world. She is also sincerely understanding and flexible to what is realistic for each patient - with compassion and without judgment. After the 6-week herbal regimen, I was supposed to follow a strict diet as "Phase 2" to reinforce what we had done herbally. I found that to be too restrictive for me, which I let her know, and she gave me an altered/less-restrictive version. Even that version was too hard for me (I'm a super picky eater and don't cook at home which contributed to that - so the diet itself wasn't necessarily that hard, it was just me!). What I valued most is that Dr. Simms didn't make me feel judged or bad for not being able to complete Phase 2 - she instead gave me an alternative option which was much more feasible for my lifestyle. The fact that she listened and accommodated my nuanced issues was what really resonated with me and reconfirmed what makes her stand out above any and everyone else. My experience with Dr. Simms could not have been any better, smoother, and supported - and it's because of her, as a person and a doctor. On a personal note, I also recently decided to make a career change into the Holistic world and reached out to her for advice - she was just as responsive and caring as every other experience I've had with her. I know, without a doubt, that I will go back to her for any health issues that arise in the future and I trust her inherently, for anything. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Simms, for changing my life in SO many positive ways! I will be endlessly grateful and humbled :). read more

I have been working with Dr. Simms for a couple of years now, and let me end the suspense by saying she is wonderful. My health has been looked after in a whole new way. I first approached her after I got "turfed" from my GP and GI specialist, unable to find anything "wrong" with me. They ran test after test, endoscopy, put me on various antibiotics, etc. After eliminating anything "wrong" with me, I turned to a naturopath. Dr Simms assessed my situation differently than any other medical professional I have encountered. Without going into details, let's just say that considering food sensitivities, digestive imbalances, making practical adjustments, and taking supportive supplements has given me a whole new toolkit to manage my own health. (with her support and guidance of course). Now - I still do see my traditional doctors for certain things, but Dr. Simms has become my go-to partner in my long term health. I don't fault traditional medicine for not being able to include the scope which she does...I am just grateful to have found a practice that embraces the "smaller" things, which aren't really so small in the end. Figuring out my stomach issues was a BIG thing. And now I care for myself in an entirely new way. She has also been a partner for me in my journey to figure out my fertility. Or lack thereof. :). Take this time, especially in quarantine, to figure out how to make yourself better. Oh - she also helped my mother, who is against taking advice from ANYONE. I am grateful and hope that everyone can experience the benefits of working with professional like Dr. Simms. (Her office colleagues are also amazing). read more

Dr. Simms is very professional, courteous, listen to patient's concerns, responsive to any requests and very good in following up with the patients. read more

Dr. Simms is beyond amazing!! I have been struggling with my health for over 3 years and have seen many doctors and paid lots of money with little results. Within 3 months on Dr.Simms care I saw measurable improvements! She has helped me get my life and vitality back. Everything I am taking has been natural with no side effects. She is so patient, calm, and understanding. She never pushes me to do anything I don't feel comfortable with and answers ALL of my questions (and I ask a lot). She's not just an amazing doctor but an amazing teacher. I have learned so much about my own health from Dr. Simms. Thank you so much and I highly recommend seeing her! read more

My initial consult was thorough. I did not feel rushed and I never felt like I did not have the time to talk about what I wanted to discuss. Dr Simms really listened to me, she understood so much of what I was dealing with. I was blown away by the number of things she had picked up on to look into from our initial conversation. She ordered tests I had been wanting my regular Dr to run but they never had. Dr Simms explained everything completely and followed up with all of the information in writing. When I went home I didn't have to worry about if I had forgotten anything. It was all right there. Our follow up conversation was again unrushed and full of so much information. I learned a ton about my lab results and what it all meant. Again, all information and instructions were provided in writing. I am making many big changes in my self care and yet I feel it is completely doable. I am excited to see where this journey leads. I have no doubt my health will improve. read more

After a lifetime of health concerns that were often rebuffed by other doctors, I started seeing Dr Simms whose ideals closer aligned to my personal health philosophy. Dr. Simms has always taken extra time to explain and discuss any concerns I have, as well as offering a sympathetic and inquisitive ear. When one of my health issues was less well-known to even Western medicine medical doctors, Dr. Simms did extra research to fully educate herself and provide better advice and recommendations to me. I feel that my care with Dr. Simms is a dialogue, to which we both provide feedback on what is or is not working. Furthermore, she has been helpful in sharing information with other doctors whom I receive care from, as well as offering a second opinion on their findings. read more
