... One feels cared for and pampered...
"The contrast of seeing a naturopath vs my own experiences providing care in urgent care in a busy clinic, or in a private office was quite eye opening. One feels cared for and pampered when in a quiet, pleasant office (no receptionist), more than an hour of attention discussing personal history, likes and dislikes, diet, exercise, emotional health, etc with no interruptions." - AM

...she goes above and beyond the call of duty...
"Dr. Simko, like many naturalpaths, spends time getting to know her patients which, I would venture to guess, is a cornerstone of her practice. However, she goes above and beyond the call of duty in this regard. Her visits are unhurried, she listens, she does not come with an agenda, and she is accessible. In this town where it is hard to even make an appointment that is not weeks out, Dr. Simko is available for timely appointments and is also (amazingly) personally available for phone contact at any time. She actually encourages patient input, questions, and concerns. And beyond that she is a team player. She respects other medical people you may have in your life and takes the time to make contact with them so everyone can be on the same page. Having this kind of medical advocate is invaluable- and almost unheard of." - I.H.
...she truly listened and was attentive to my personal questions and concerns...
"I had gone to a couple of other ND’s in the area and found that their basic protocol was handed out to each client and that struck me as being very similar to the western medical model. On my first appt. with Dr. Simko she took a very individual approach to treatment and we had an extended one on one visit in order to formulate a plan for immediate and long term treatment. I felt she truly listened and was attentive to my personal questions and concerns. She was highly professional but also very personable." - K.W.
