I saw Dr. Simoni on November 2020 in the middle of the pandemic. I was a bit surprised when I called for a consultation and thought it would be done through Skype, but no, it was in person. When I went to the consultation he asked me to remove my mask to look at my face, but I was surprised that he also removed his mask, to look at my face. Turns out the doctor has dies due to a patient coughing on him while doing lip injections while he was wearing a mask, that surprised me, because he removed his mask to examine my face. Well it is sad that he passed away, but no ever told his patients that he had passed. Now everyone that paid, including me are stuck with no procedure and the money we paid him. No one answers are calls, emails post. So after reading all these reviews I have no doubt that they maybe very true.

Dr. Simoni is one of the worst and scariest doctors I have ever been to. I went to him to fix another doctors mistakes but he made things much worse, doing the opposite of what he was supposed to do. He caused painful injuries and disfigurement. When I gave him an accurate and negative review, he started posting all over the internet that I wasn't a patient, I was a former employee who stole drugs from him, that I was a drug addict, and he used my full name! This was all totally made up, and these posts are still online and destroying my reputation. I posted about this, and he had his wife file a phony restraining order against me, saying that I threatened to kill her and their children. Until I was served, I didn't even know he had a wife and children. The TRO was dismissed but it cost me hundreds of dollars for a flight to LA and lost income. Simoni then sued me for defamation, the case was dismissed, but it cost me $8000 in legal fees. My lawyers said Simoni is a psychopath, and I agree.

I had Simoni Face Lift last year, I returned to work the following week with very little discomfort. Of course I iced my face, eyes and neck 24 hours a day. There was minimal bruising and swelling in just 2 ½ days with minimal pain. I feel privileged to have found Dr Simoni for my face procedure. I value Dr Simoni's expertise, talent and skill. I am delighted with the results. Now I am not the one who looks tired and haggard. The skin care program he put me on after my facial surgery, to repair badly damaged skin, is amazing. I am delighted that so many of the dark sun spots disappeared in just a month. My skin has a more uniform color to it and some of the small wrinkles are diminishing. I would not hesitate to refer any of my friends or social contacts to Dr Simoni. In fact I have given several people his business card, including one of my doctors who commented about what good surgery results I had.

DR Simoni did my eyelids anf facelift 2 months ago. I look amazing. My sister had neck lift with Dr Simoni two weeks ago. She looks very natural and went back to work in less than one week. Dr Simoni was very caring during the whole process. I have told everyone in my office about him.

I basically paid this doctor to ruin my nose and my life. He is not skilled in rhinoplasty and should not be performing them at all; I have been on many, many revision rhinoplasty consultations and every doctor I've seen has told me that my nose will need extensive repair to fix what Dr. Simoni did to it. He is not a person who does cosmetic procedures to help people. Once the surgery is completed he wants nothing to do with you; if you come to him with any concerns about your nose and how it looks or functions all he tells you is to "let it heal and wait for the swelling to go down." That's all he ever says. Please stay away from him. I wish every day that I had.

Going to Dr. Simoni for my nose job was the worst mistake I ever made. Do not make the same mistake I did - go elsewhere. I now need to go to another doctor to have a very expensive revision. The scar he left me with on my nose is terrible, it just screams nose job. On top of that I now have 2 weird bumps on my nose as well as a dent on one side where he was obviously too aggressive. When I went back with my concerns that I have a scar and my nose has bumps, a dent, and is still so bulbous he just brushed me off and said that I need to wait to judge it because there is still swelling. He is only nice with a nice bedside manner when you agree with him that everything is perfect. I cannot say it enough...do NOT go to him for rhinoplasty!

I commented about Dr.Simoni in 11/05 and at that time I really thought he was a genuine, caring professional. However, if you need to return to him because of a problem or result that you have concerns about, his entire demeanor changes. He will want another entire fee again. That also includes another 500.00 for the vaser machine. During my second surgery he made several degrading comments about me to his assistant, and the pain was often unbearable. He said that he should have been that rough the first time so I would not have gone Back! That's how the true professional called Dr.Simoni talks!!...Now, after 7 months I am noticing hard, raised bumps appearing all over my abs, and when I emailed him This was his reply "I would recommend to start by seeing your primary doctor. You do not want to miss antything important. Your doctor can make decision to get ct scan if deemed nescessery"... I never had a post-op.. Don't waste your time going to this arrogant fool!
