He looks like he just rode in on a horse. Very nice Doctor with a stern type of attitude. He doesn't BS you or beat around the bush. He made sure all of my questions were 100% answered and that I was ready to go mentally before proceeding with the surgery. Follow up appts. have been good and quick.

He was a good surgeon. He has a good bedside manner, and I seem to not have had any problems yet. My only complaint would be that it takes his nurses a long time to call you back, and they seem to not be communicating, so you have to re-tell your problems to different people.

I just had a revsion done by Dr. Simper. He is an AMAZING and caring surgeon. I highly recommend him to anyone considering bariatric surgery. He and his office staff really go out of their way for their patients.
He is so awesome. He cares alot about his patients. The staff at RMAP are great. They do so much education. I felt really ready for WLS. WLS went great.
Dr. Simper is a great doctor. At first, he comes across as somewhat reserved and formal; but he is actually very personable. His knowledge is outstanding as is his commitment to bariatric surgery.
Rocky Mountain Associated Physician's overall care program is outstanding. They have done a very good job in building a support program around bariatric surgery.
Very up front about the risks and possible complications. Dr. Simper is passionate about minimally invasive surgery and has only had to convert one surgery to open that was planned laparoscopically.
My first impression of Dr. Simper was excellent. My friend at work assured me he is an excellent surgeon but stated his bedside manner lacked! I have met with him during a consult and actually found him to be very personable! ;0).
Please know that Dr. Simper is very professional. He is well versed! I can tell he is always reading and promoting bariatric surgery. He even mentioned to me he has gone to battle with insurance companies and employers to get funding for us to have surgery. Alot of insurers in utah do not cover this surgery.
Dr. Simper emphasizes after care and the importance of following the "program" and risks involved during the surgery.
I choose Dr. Simper because of the extensive experience of him and his partners. I haven't met him yet but will update then.
When I met Dr Simper it was at a pre-surgery education class. He was very patient with the long list of questions and answered them well. After surgery he visited both mornings. Very short and to the point visits. But I didnt choose him to be my friend. He is VERY experienced in this surgery and that gave me alot of comfort. After care is not optional. When you see him for surgery you have already paid for a support group after. Thier website is geared for post-op's. I would rate him excellent!
