Dr. Simmons is dedicated to providing care that is efficient, effective and safe.  He knows that no one wants to spend extra time feeling unwell or going through treatment, so he utilizes shorter course treatment options, such as hypofractionation, ultra-hypofractionation, SBRT and SRS when appropriate so patients can return to enjoying the things they love, as quickly as possible.    

Outside of work, Dr. Simmons enjoys spending time with his family. He stays active by lifting weights, riding e-bikes and being outside in nice weather.
