Dr Simma-Chiang has been my very excellent urologist for three years, since I was hospitalized with a severe UTI. Last Saturday I again came down with an acute UTI, and sent her a message via Mt Sinai MyChart asking for advice. She replied almost at once, which I really appreciated at the weekend. She is always very responsive and thorough.

Pros: Wrote out a prescription for me for antibiotics so I was able to get better in a timely fashion.
Figured out and wrote out a prescription for me for estradiol cream to help with utis.
Cons: Didn't plan to write out a prescription for me until I asked although I had a fever and symptoms of a uti.
Wouldn't give me an opinion when I suggested I should start antibiotics said she didn't know, that most doctors won't admit they don't know, that she knows she's a good doctor.
Doesn't have a thermometer in office to take a patient's temperature.
Bathroom doesn't have paper towels or waste basket.
Got back with results of uti culture 6 days later.
Wouldn't answer a question on MyChart and insisted a phone appointment ($) to answer question.

My first encounter with Dr. Chiang was in the Mt. Sinai hospital related to needing a kidney stone removed. She was upbeat and positive, which I appreciated very much after enduring the emergency room to start my ordeal. She was clear about what she was going to do to solve my medical problem, answered all my questions without acting like she needed to leave, as well as, following up with my questions in a timely manner during recovery. I was grateful for her care, and my experience was so positive that she is now my regular Urologist.

I absolutely appreciate Doc. Simma-Chiang. She helps me feel at ease and tries her best to keep me informed with my condition. What I love most about her is that I truly feel that she cares for her patients.
