Dr Simon has been a true lifesaver to me as I had faced an invisible enemy that I had no chance of ever beating. From the moment I met him and under his care and direction we managed to beat the bully which was tormenting me for the last 15 years of my life and progressively getting worse. His patience, guidance and skill have resulted in a life changing result for me which has truly transformed my life. I am forever grateful and thankful that he came into my life and will never forget what he has done for me. No one wants to have surgery but if that is the crossroad in your life that you are facing I would suggest that you take the leap and change your life. Dr Simon is as good as they get. You can thank me later.

Dr. Simon did an excellent job repairing the damage to my nose from Mohs surgery. In fact, I'd say he worked magic! He is professional, approachable, extremely talented in his work and a NICE person! He took time to answer all our questions leading up to the procedure and has taken great care in the follow up appointments after the surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Patrick Simon.

Dr. Simon is probably the best doctor I've ever been to, both as a person and as a professional. He comes across as an incredibly authentic and caring individual, and his demeanor sets the tone for the entire office. On top of that, he is an excellent surgeon, which is, of course, the most important aspect. Unfortunately, these days, many providers seem to treat patients like numbers and fail to truly listen. Dr. Simon, however, stands out by taking the time to listen and provide thoughtful, compassionate care, especially when it comes to facial surgeries, which are often a source of heightened anxiety.

Dr. Simon was congenial and evaluated my condition with recommendations to reduce my throat phlegm issues, etc. I will implement these recommendations. One issue I have with Northwestern Physician Services is that I had to wait over 3 months to see him even though he was recommended to me by another NW physician. (?)

Disclosures

Patrick E. Simon, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
