Dr. Stephen D. Simonich

Absolutely terrible experience with this doctor his front desk displayed absolutely TERRIBLE performance as i called them for over 3 months in attempt to get my surgery done over a break and i was not able to, and had to redo my whole process somewhere else due to his terrible front office. DO NOT RECCOMEND

Great doctor with awesome bed side manners. He was able to quickly assess my child’s injury.

worst md ever walked in with a diagnosis based on techs version of accident (he hadn’t listened too well) and needless x-rays ranted about why he didn’t need an mri had a treatment plan for his diagnosis AND NEVER checked the actual area of injury NO STARS AT ALL

always a little long wait, however doctor is good, i would refer him to other patients

Cannot express what an amazing doctor/surgeon Dr.Simonich is. Very caring and takes time to explain what is going on. Highly recommend him.

The wait is horrible been there twice, waited over an hour both times, been waiting for a knee injection for over a month, I’ve called 5 times to check on when they will schedule and always get someone will call you today, I never received a call 5 times. Don’t waste your time with the incompetent office staff

I don’t know if he’s a good surgeon because he’s never operated on me, but as a doctor/medical professional- he gets one star. He walks in casually after making you wait about 45min to an hour AFTER you’re in the patient room and have waited 30min outside in the waiting room, he doesn’t ask a whole lot of questions, makes a ton of assumptions, jumps to a quick and easy diagnosis and goes off on tangents that have little to do with the issue on hand. Also, he has absolutely no bedside manner and truly doesn’t seem the slightest bit interested in your issue. I’m finding a new doctor ASAP- please steer clear of him and don’t waste your time!

Dr. Simonich may be good at diagnosing and poor at communicating what he knows with his patients that know nothing. I got more informative information from my rheumatologist about the course of my injury. It would have been nice for Dr. Simonich to tell me what the rheumatologist did, that it would take 90 days to find out if my knee was going to return to useful without interventional surgery. I am sure he is busy but he needs to get his expertise out of his mind and to his patients so they can at least know what to expect and mitigate their worries. Starting with possible scenarios, outcomes, usual treatments and explaining exactly what the imaging reports said would be informative. He did not even recommend that I make a future appointment about my injury. Dr. Simonich may be good at diagnosing and poor at communicating what he knows with his patients that know nothing.

Dr. Simonich has always been most helpful and on target with his assessment of my joint issues. He prescribed a shot in my shoulder nine years ago and my pain went away as he said it would. He saw me this time in just two days and assessed my issue correctly as well. Great Doc!

Approx 2 hour wait on each visit (I had to go twice). I believe they book appointments at 15 minute intervals and then make you wait. Took multiple x-rays the first time and didn't tell me anything about what he saw (spent less than 5 minutes with me the first time) other than that I needed an MRI. Second time around, didn't clearly explain whether my torn tissue would heal by itself or not. He's not a fan of surgery, which is good, but it would've been nice to at least know that in the event I need surgery, is it something major (i.e. recovery time) or not. Not going back to him.

He dismissed me with sever knee pain. I had to find another orthopedic doctor.

He is extremely knowledgeable and speaks to me so I understand.

This is one of the best doctors I see. He fixed a torn meniscus in my knee, and has helped me with tennis elbow and a torn rotator cuff. I will eventually need a knee replacement and I wouldn’t even consider anyone else.

My husband has had both knees replaced by Dr. Simonich and I would recommend him to everyone looking for a fantastic doctor!!

Dr. Simonich operated on me in 02/17. I had to get another operation last week (8 months later) for the same issues because he did not remove bone spurs that were present and they tore muscles. AND neither he nor his staff called to set up the second surgery like he, and they, said they would so I had to schedule with a different surgeon. I waited weeks and left several messages, but never heard back. No one appreciates being lied to. Also, the pain from the biceps tenodesis has never subsided. My sparring partner had the identical procedures performed by a different surgeon and has been pain free for 8 months. Dr. Simonich operated on me in 02/17.

He is the best doctor I have ever delt with

Absolutely amazing doctor and staff. Love my new knee.

Who cares how long it takes, if you want the best just wait your turn. Just had my second shoulder repair, great Dr and team.

My daughter had hip pain and was a runner. Dr. Simonich diagnosed the problem prior to the MRI which confirmed his diagnosis. Both my husband and I are in the medical field and felt the care rendered was appropriate based upon the nature of the injury. Highly recommend.

Dr Simonich worked on both my daughters ACL tear and my elbow tricep tendon tear. He did a great job on both as my daughters knee as it healed well. I completely tore away my tricep tendon from my elbow. Surgery went well and it took a long time to heal but it goes with the territory, but over time it healed and I am back to golfing again. Dr Simonich and his staff are very good at what they do and yes his practice is very busy, but it goes with the territory due to the growth here in Katy, and the fact the practice is located at Memorial Herman Hospital (I-10 Katy). I would strongly recommend him to anyone needing an Orthopedic Surgeon in the greater Katy area.. Dr Simonich worked on both my daughters ACL tear and my elbow tricep tendon tear.

Dr. Simonich did an ACL reconstruction for me in 2012 when I was an out-of-shape 43 yr old. Today, 5 years later, my knee is as good as new. I recently tore a rotator cuff in my shoulder. After my first experience with Dr. Simonich, I knew he was the only doctor for me, and he's now taking care of my shoulder. As for my office visits and wait times, the staff is very professional and friendly. The wait time is typically reasonable. The longest I've ever waited was about an hour. You see, Dr. Simonich stays extremely busy doing surgeries, seeing patients in his office and also teaching at a university. So if you have to wait a little longer than you'd like, trust me, the wait is worth it. Once he's in your presence, he takes his time to listen to you and also inform you of what you need to know about your condition. I highly recommend Dr. Simonich. That dude is awesome.

He is highly qualified and board certified, but his practices suffers consistently with either mismagement or insane inefficiency. He is chronically late. Regularly he leaves his patient for hours. I've seen it in other practices. I finely have had to say ENOUGH. Today, I arrived 15minutes early for my appointment. After a 20 minute delay, I was ushered to an exam room. After 1 hour 35 minutes I walked to the front an told them to reschedule. 10 days. Nope, I'm done I'm. Finding another provder

Stupid staff, don't waste your time

Wait at least 2 hours!!!!! Did nothing, but requested MRI. Charged $220 saw her for 2 min and requested MRI. On the follow up, they wanted deposit of $200 and an amount of $80-$140 for after visit!

Dr. Simonich is one of the best. Be had a couple of surgeries with him. I won't go anywhere else.

To have had two hand surgeries by Dr. Simonich and let me tell ya he is wonderful an I would recommend him to everyone, the staffing so nice and they will always call ya back ASAP. If I ever moved out of katy I would drive a long distance to have him to do my surgery

Not sure if the problem is with Dr. Simonich or the Ironman medical, gessner, Houston. If your appointment is at 2 pm, better go at 4 pm after your work. Been here thrice, every time the wait time was close to 2 hrs. And there is no point in asking the staff. They won't tell you how long it's going to take. After 2 hrs of wait, you talk to doctor for 2 mins and he walks out of the door without even listening to you. My guess is these guys overbook to suck the money out of people.

My husband fractured and dislocated his ankle in an ATV accident and needed surgery. Dr. Simonich and his staff at the Ironman Institute were wonderful. We didn't wait at all for our appointment. His PA was fantastic, as well as the x-ray techs and the guys that wrapped his temporary splint. Dr. Simonich was courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, and put us at ease.

Reason for visit was a swollen foot and not being able to put any pressure on ball of foot. Dr. Simonich quickly looked at the xrays and said that nothing was broken and there probably wasn't anything wrong. He told me to give it a couple WEEKS and if it doesn't get better, they'll reassess. I got a 2nd opinion from a podiatrist who quickly diagnosed me with a bone deformity (missing a bone in my foot). An orthopedic doctor should have seen that.

He was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and put us at ease. His staff is amazing.
