My experience with SIMEDHealth has been nothing short of a nightmare, and I wish I could give them zero stars. From the moment I tried to become a patient, it was an uphill battle. The process to get in was unnecessarily difficult, and the front office staff were incredibly unhelpful, except for one African American gentleman - he was the only one who seemed to care about helping me. Things took a turn for the worse when the front desk accused me of using profanity during a phone call (that was recorded) I wish they would actually listen to the recording because I know for a fact I did not use any profanity. It's absurd that they would dismiss me from their practice based on false accusations without even verifying the truth.I had to take time off work for an appointment they insisted was on a certain day, only to find out they had actually scheduled it for the following week. When I confronted them about this mistake, they didn't apologize or take responsibility. Instead, it seemed like they were upset that I caught them in a lie. The front desk lady I spoke with that day was nonchalant and stated "I can't do anything about that." This was the second time I had an issue with her. Overall, my experience with SIMEDHealth has been deeply disappointing and frustrating. The lack of professionalism and basic customer service is astounding. I would strongly advise anyone considering this practice to look elsewhere for their healthcare needs. read more

I would give zero stars if that were an option. Dr Galina treated me horribly. A problem for a migraine sufferer to receive proper treatment is that the person looks 'normal' unless you see them during a migraine attack. My second visit with Dr Galina, she told me that I was 'going to live, in other words I wasn't going to die from a migraine'. Her exact words. I could t believe it! I DO NOT recommend Dr Galina. read more

DO NOT LET YOUR DOCTOR REFER YOU TO SIMED NEUROLOGY! At first Dr. Ackerman seemed to be a competent and thorough doctor. The first visit he seemed to be very concerned. I actually thought that he seem to be a physician that really cared about his patients. However, after the second visit he was completely different. He did not listen two my husband's complaints. He put him on another medication and told us to call if it did not work. We tried calling for weeks and never got in touch with anyone. We left message after message and finally after about a month and a half I got in touch with the office manager who rescheduled another appointment. However this appointment was not with Dr. Ackerman it was with ARPN Janet who was unable do anything for him. It was a complete wasted visit after driving an hour and a half. My husband goes through a lot of pain and suffering every single day with his RLS. They knew about this and yet did nothing. It took over four months to get another appointment because they kept rescheduling. They were not interested in a diagnosis they just wanted to put him on more pills instead of trying to find out what was causing it. When they finally did reschedule it was for two months later . Then they called and said that they forgot to reschedule a visit for him however we had the appointment card . So instead of seeing the doctor on the date they scheduled him for he had to wait another month. The next time my husband went to see Dr. Ackerman he was within the allotted 15 minutes they give and they refused to see him after he drove an hour and a half to see him once again. We learned quickly that he does not care about his patients! read more

i went here because i was recommended dr. ackerman via haile medical group. i have had chronic cluster headaches for 11+ years. i know my headaches inside and out personally and medically, and i have seen probably 15+ doctors and 4+ neurologists for them. most of those doctors were horrible. this was no exception. the wait time was very quick, and all of the staff were really nice (whew). i went into the room to have my vitals done and there was a massive poster for sleep apnea on the wall. i didn't know a lot about dr. ackerman aside from neurology, so i assumed it was just some literature given to them by a sample company. he seemed very nice at first but fixated on sleep, insomnia, etc. while i do have insomnia, it was completely irrelevant to my headaches. he told me to stop taking what had been taking for my headaches and that he would prescribe me prednisone for a week to "cleanse my system." he then prescribed me something i had already taken for my headaches years earlier but in a fraction of the dose and swore that it would help. afterward, he diagnosed me with sleep apnea (surprise) and suggested i do a sleep study. he would use words such a "analgesic" and then feel the need to explain them to me. if you think i don't know what it means then don't use the word -- dumb it down or don't. i am 5'3" and 95 lbs. no one in my family has sleep apnea, and i do not have sleep apnea. i don't even snore. secondly, i only wanted an mri to make sure my brain wasn't being eaten by any headache-causing worms. i know my headaches inside and out, and i didn't appreciate the attempt to pull a blanket over my head. thirdly, i already am manic and am prone to infections. the last thing i need to be taking is prednisone, especially two weeks before christmas. yes, let's make a monster and free it on a cross-country plane. this is the only neurologist i have ever met to completely dismiss the idea of mailing in my past mri scans to compare them to my new one. he wanted to "start fresh," but without the benefit of having something to compare it to. i'm obviously not a doctor, but none of that makes sense to me. he didn't listen to what i had to say and dismissed it with a "now, play along with me here" and gave me his card -- dr. ackerman, neurologist, sleep medicine. it was basically like going into a flooring store that specialized in tile and walking out with tile. no shit. i'm getting a new neurologist. i'm also getting a new doctor -- one that doesn't recommend magic shows. read more

I went here because I have been having dizzy spells and difficultiy talking coherently . Guess what his diagnosis is sleep apena! I eas sent to 2 sleep studies, first study was told i didnt need the mask that night and yet when i called for a second appointment I was told I had fragmented sleeep and brain waves but my oxygen level was fine (how if i stop breathing ?????) ( over the phone unsolicited with no check to see if i was whom i said i was) I had the worst sleep of my life with that machine and i told them in the survey i would not use it. Guess what I got a call today saying I had a perscription for a machine and a sleeping pill. Wait what everything I have read about sleep apena says no sleeping pill. This DR doesnot give a crap about anything but pushing sleep studies and cpap . He hasnt even seen me again for any discussions before perscribing the machine, Terrible! read more
