I have been seeing Dr. Simonofsky for approximately 20 years. I first started visiting his office when I experienced severe back pain. I had been seeing a doctor for this problem and his remedy for me was to take pain killers and stay in bed for 2 weeks each time the problem flared up. This was far too impractical for me and at my husband's insistence I started visiting Dr. Simonofsky. I have had some episodes of back pain that were pretty severe, but only one in the last few years that was incompacitating. When his patients are in need, Dr. Simonofsky has seen them on his days off. He is most generous with his time and patience. I can think of no other practioner that would have accomodated me in the same way. I think many other physicians would have advised me to go to the emergencey room for immediate care.
