Very good
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/3/2025
Emily took all my concerns seriously. Even though I was worried about a hobby (playing tennis) and how out of breath I was, she understood that quitting it was a quality of life reduction I wanted to avoid. She scheduled a treadmill test and even came by while it was going on. I feel like she really heard my concerns and addressed them with the least intervention possible, making it clear that we would look at lifestyle changes and then move on to medication if that didn't do the trick. She was very clear about starting an exercise program and how to do it.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/1/2025

Emily Simao, NP. Was outstanding. She took the time to cover everything I needed in order to move forward with the future procedures that were scheduled. We discussed how to improve my current health and what the benefits would be for me. She made certain that the physicians doing the surgery had the assessment before I left so there wasn't any delays. I so appreciate the time she took and the fact that it will save me moving forward.
