Dr. Khara Simpson is an exceptional doctor and surgeon. I am grateful for all of the help that she gave me. From the time that I met her I was extremely confident in her ability to help guide and educate me about my health and surgery. Her bedside manner was excellent. She took the time out to talk to my mother after my surgery which I believe went above and beyond the call of duty.
