Dr. Jeffrey Simon, MD, Patient Testimonials

I would like to take this opportunity t thank Dr. Simon and staff for saving my life.

Dr. Simon put together an amazing detox protocol for me to follow for 8 days. I felt no discomfort at all. He understood my concerns, my worries and me being terrified to do this. He's very knowledgeable with addiction detox.

I enjoyed coming here every day. The staff made me comfortable and safe. Dr. Simon and staff gave reassurance that everything would be okay, and it was!

I would definitely recommend this detox protocol for anyone dealing with addiction. I am so glad that I came here. Thank you very much The Coleman Institute.

I have been taking benzodiazepines for 30 years. I met Dr. Simon about 7 months ago. I didn't anticipate positive results since I always heard how difficult it is to stop a 30 year addiction. I was taking 8-10mgs a day. This had been increasing over the last 10 to 15 years. Since working along a program with Dr. Simon, I am now taking just 3mgs a day. I feel much more alert and all around healthier than I have in years. I think in the next few months I will be able to be off the benzo's for good.

After several years of taking pain medications due to health reasons. The reasons were that I was no longer needing medications because of my conditions but because of my addiction. Being a mother of two small children I realized that I needed the help and I'm thankful the day I decided to seek help.

The moment I touch base with there office by phone. I was greeted by his staff, who not only was a pleasure to speak to but also understanding of my situation and didn't make me feel like I was being judged. She answered all my question in detail and gave me the information to reassure my decision in changing my life.

I can't picture my life without Dr. Simon in it. I always refer to him and his staff as my God Sent Angels and look forward to my appointments because it truly feels like I'm back at home. Dr. Simon understands the struggles of accepting the fact that addiction is a disease and he will guide me into the right path of success. His office feels homely and at times, I find myself staying longer after my appointment because of how comfortable I feel. Whether this is posted online or not - Dr. Simon and Staff, Thank you for helping me change my life. I am forever grateful.

Before coming to Dr. Simon, I was another hopeless heroin addict caught in the viscous cycle of addiction. In the past I have tried everything to get clean and it would never work, or never last. After our first meeting, I had a feeling that everything would be okay. Dr. Simon sat down and explained everything to me in detail and was very helpful. Since then, he has always been available when I need him and has been a huge part of my recovery. I would recommend him to anyone suffering from drug/alcohol addiction.

I decided that I wanted off all Opioids but I was terrified of withdrawal and detox. Everyone I spoke to at The Coleman Institute and Dr. Simon's office tried to reassure me about this process.

I had a hard time believing everyone because of how much I built this process in my mind. However, everyone I spoke to was 100% accurate! This process turned out to be much easier than expected and if I can do this, anyone else can do it as well.

Everyone that helped with this process was great, especially everyone that works at Dr. Simon's office.

Our first meeting/visit was a very positive step helping my wife with her pain and medicine that works to help her with her issue. We need more like you who is willing to help people with these issues and problems. Thank you
Real Patient

I have to say from the moment my husband spoke to the receptionist - that was going to be my doctor. Both staff and Dr. Simon are wonderful, caring and warm friendly people.

Dr. Simon saved my life! I have nothing but gratitude for Dr. Simon!

Having been through detox at the Coleman Institute was the best decision I have made. They do not use Suboxone or Methodone during the treatment.

The staff is excellent, they are very supportive, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. My treatment to becoming clean was over in 5 to 6 days.

I highly recommend the services they provide because the detox was shorter. I can no live my life clean and opiate free.
Real Patient

My experience was great very rapid detox with 95% no paid or withdrawals. The staff are a great help and caring. I recommend this place to a lot of people
Real Patient

Having been in the sober community for 33 years Dr. Simon has helped me immensely discover the joy of sobriety after surgery, he was so helpful in getting me off the pain medication and rejoining the human race without affecting my career and family. I continue with treatment a year later and have never felt better in my life!
Real Patient

Dr. Simon is very professional, knowledgeable and informative. The office is clean and friendly, yet maintains a professional environment. The whole process is straightforward with both the Doctor and secretary being upfront, professional and respectful. I would highly recommend Dr. Simon for addiction therapy/treatment, after seeing two other suboxone certified doctors I can say that he is the best.
Real Patient

I have been under the care of Dr. Simon since September 2012 for opioid dependence. To say I was in a bad place physically, mentally, and emotionally because of my addiction would be an understatement. From my first session with Dr. Simon, I immediately felt a sense of hope and motivation to beat my opioid dependence. Dr. Simon is truly the best as what he does and I am proud to call him my doctor. I can proudly say that today, 2 years later, I am in recovery and doing extremely well, this would not have been possible without the help and guidance of Dr. Simon.
Real Patient

The staff was awesome and caring - the experience was virtually painless due to the treatment preparation.

Definitely worth doing if you want to detox!
Real Patient

Dr. Simon has helped me very much. He has helped me stay clean for the longest time that I have been able to since I have begun trying to get clean.

I remember walking into Dr. Simon's office for the first time feeling extremely scared and nervous, and pretty much hopeless. My experience with addiction therapists had been sub-par at best, and coming to see yet another doctor was not something I was thrilled about, however my last doctor practically left me with no choice. If you are someone who has gone through any sort of addiction, you know that feeling of seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, and that is pretty much where I was.

I can't explain the feeling exactly but the moment I stepped into Dr. Simon's office for the first time, I remember feeling a sense of acceptance, a feeling that I had not felt in quite a long time. From the peaceful music playing in the background to the warm welcoming receptionist - I instantly felt comfortable and relaxed, which is something the previous doctors office lacked. Still, sitting down with Dr. Simon for the fist time was the most unexpected part of this whole experience I have always had a hard time admitting that I have an addiction, let aloe talking about it! However, this time, I felt differently. Dr. Simon makes you feel like a normal person, not like an addict, and maybe it's his calm demeanor or his warm comforting smile, but he makes you want to open up. For the first time I didn't feel ashamed of my addiction. I felt like any other person with a medical disease - which he reminded me of that over and over.

I could tell from the first minute, this doctor was different. He truly cares about his patients and their well being ,and wants to make a difference in their life, which makes you want to do better. Now I honestly can't wait for my appointment each month to see him. I leave feeling lighter and happier each time. It has been 6 months since I first met Dr. Simon, and while I still have a bit of a journey to overcome in front of me, knowing he's by my side makes it much easier to deal with. I am looking forward to my future again, which I have him to thank for. Dr. Simon has given me back my strength and courage that my addiction had taken away from me, and I will be forever grateful.
Real Patient

My original experience was different from what I thought it was going to be, but about five minutes after speaking with the doctor, he asked me a few questions, he had me all fixed up.

The certain type of medications that they give you help you cope with the major withdrawal. The staff here makes you feel like you are home. They really take care of you.

I would really recommend this facility to anyone trying to come off anything. It's a life saver!

After calling several psychiatrists who specialize in addiction, I called Dr. Simon. His assistant answered the phone and I was treated with respect and compassion. I knew she was a mom. Thanks to Dr. Simon and staff diligently pursuing approval from my insurance carrier, my son was admitted to Seabrook House for rehab, my son is 90+ days in active recovery.
I am extremely Thankful for him being properly medicated for his depression, he told me "I am excited about life for the first time in a long time."
Real Patient

My experience with Dr. Simon has been extremely positive. He has been there for me in emergencies and has always been supportive. Without the care of Dr. Simon, I don't know where I would be. He has helped me with paranoia, depression and anxiety. Today I am a full time student at Rowan University where I am pursuing a degree in finance. I would like to thank Dr. Simon for helping me achieve my dreams.
Real Patient

As someone with mental illness I know the struggles of finding a doctor. Many I have seen have either over medicated and masked the issues I dealt with on a daily basis or could not find the right balance of medications to properly treat my illness. I then went through numerous cycles of trial and error only to ultimately give up and swear off doctors. This, without a doubt, was the wrong decision for both me and my family. I no longer wanted to go through, make sure I was able to get proper medication without having to pay out of pocket.

I will go to Dr. Simon as long as he remains in practice and would recommend other that suffer with debilitating mental addiction or illness to do the same.
Real Patient

Dr. Simon stuck by me in my darkest times. He wrote a letter to my insurance company getting me into treatment. This saved my life. I am now properly mediated and happy and I continue to see Dr. Simon once a month.
Real Patient

I've seen several psychiatrists throughout my life for depression and breast cancer. I was very comfortable with Dr. Simon from the first time I met him. I have encouraged my family and friends to come to this office. I felt as though my world was falling apart and I was crazy. Dr. Simon has provided me with new medication I'm certainly feeling better, and worthy to be in this world. Dr. Simon is very compassionate and understanding. Thanks for the help!
Real Patient

The best decision I made was to finally seek help for my anxiety and depression. Accepting that I had this and talking with Dr. Simon about how to deal with it has made me feel so much better.

If you are someone like me who thinks you do not need help, just give therapy a try. You will be surprised how much better you will feel. If I can do it believe me, anyone can!!
Real Patient

I began seeing Dr. Simon on 10/30/2013. I was extremely depressed, anxious and overwhelmed with life. I had seen a previous psychiatrist who only prescribed me benzodiazepines, which were very addicting and had horrible withdrawal so I was afraid to take them. Dr. Simon took his time with me assessing my past to my present. His calm demeanor and soft voice was just what I needed to feel comfortable and discuss my issues. I had never had a doctor be so thorough and also so respectful of my wishes and what I wanted as my treatment. I wasn't being "told" what I would be taking, rather it was discussed and we agreed on a medication. I am now feeling a little better as it is still early in my treatment. I do, however, believe that Dr. Simon is providing with the best psychiatric treatment and that soon I will be feeling better than ever.
Real Patient

Dr. Simon made a great change in my treatment of depression/moods, and has a good rapport and understanding with me to get better. I am not considered a number. I'm human. Things have been growing better as time goes on, Dr. Simon has worked on my medications and ordered tests of my metabolism to find out how my body absorbs these medicines. The results were proof, the types of medicines and their release into my system was a problem. We straighten that out I am now taking medications that correctly work for me. Very glad to have Dr. Simon as my doctor, any patient would! Thanks Doc!
Real Patient

We have been seeing Dr. Simon for a year now and there has been a dramatic change for the better. We did not have much success with previous doctors. Dr. Simon knew the right medicine for my son and address the weight loss side effect so he could continue taking the medicine. Highly recommend Dr. Simon.
Real Patient

My first visit to Dr. Simon's office has been a very positive one. I liked the atmosphere - it is very private. His staff has always been very, very helpful and patient.

On the time I sat in on my son's visit with Dr. Simon, he was very open, honest and gave us very good information. I must say I have seen a huge change in my son since he started on the program with Dr. Simon.
Real Patient

I am not sure if there are words to describe how we felt before we first went to Dr. Simon's office. If you have a child that needs Dr. Simon you already know how we felt. The really amazing part is how we feel now.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Dr. Simon showed our child how to help herself while giving her the support she needed to do so.

There is not a magic wand to fix this. I am not sure we would have wanted one anyway. Our hope was that we had finally found someone who could show our child the skills she needed to help herself. Dr. Simon thankfully, was that person.

I feel so blessed we found him. I am even more thankful he helped our daughter find her way back.

Recently, our son concluded a stay in a psychiatric unit at a hospital. Our son is nine years old and suffers from severe emotional issues. At the time that our son was admitted to the hospital he was engaging in violent outbursts on a daily basis, experiencing extreme anxiety attacks which sometimes were accompanied by suicidal idealizations and refused to follow even the most basic household rules. While this was a very difficult time for us throughout his stay we were asked expertly assisted by Dr. Simon.

Dr. Simon oversaw our sons treatment and care in a sensitive, caring manner while at the same time exhibiting the highest degree of professionalism.

Dr. Simon conducted our son's initial intake and there after oversaw his treatment until he left.

Within a few days of our son being admitted Dr. Simon had reviewed his extensive psychiatric history and familiarized himself with all aspects of our son's history.

After impressively mastering and analyzing our son's history, Dr. Simon began to set a new course for our son. Dr. Simon reassessed his daily needs and began a new regimen of daily medication which has been effective in treating the underlying issues are son faces and leading a constructive life.

Besides his clinical expertise, throughout our son stay, Dr. Simon's communication skills and sensitivity towards our son as well as the obstacles facing my wife and I were outstanding! Dr. Simon immediately established a rapport with both my wife and I because of his sensitivity, openness and accessibility.

Dr. Simon was never judgmental and eager to hear and address our concerns throughout our sons stay.

In summary, Dr. Simon's care of our son was outstanding and my son, my wife, and I, remain grateful.

I was in the unfortunate circumstance of having to make an urgent appointment for my child on Christmas Eve Day. Dr. Simon was referred to me, and I left a message on his answering machine. I received a call from his office - and they were extremely compassionate and stated that she wanted to assure me that an appointment will be set up but cannot confirm the date until after Christmas. She did not want me to worry over the holiday. The day after Christmas, I received a call setting up the appointment with Dr. Simon.

I cannot tell you how grateful I was for the effort that Dr. Simon's office made for us. With never meeting Dr. Simon, I knew I made the right choice for my child. The front office sets the tone for the relationship between you and the physician you choose. Dr. Simon's office is a pleasure to work with.
Real Patient

Words escape me when attempting to express my gratitude for all your hard work and commitment towards my son's care and getting healthier. As a mother, you cannot ask for more when your child is sick... a caring doctor! Thank you very much!

This note is just a small token of my appreciation. I just heard your voice mail left for me on a Saturday and was reminded of just how dedicated you are to your patients.

Thank you again for helping to make a bad situation more hopeful.
Real Patient

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Simon on a regular basis. As a parent I'm very pleased with her progress. She has appreciated his concern, thoughtfulness and timely exchanges needed for a good patient to Doctor relationship.

Dr. Simon truly cares. Dr. Simon returns calls promptly and if needed, even calls the pharmacy to make sure the patient is taken care of.

We as a family, could not be any more pleased with the care and professional attitude that Dr. Simon has given us.

We feel truly "Blessed" and fortunate to have such a good Doctor, and know we will have a very positive outcome.

I was seeking a doctor to help me with my problems. I called at least 10 doctors and they all said the same things. I am not taking new patients, I do not take insurance, I will not help with forms to submit to my carriers. Then I found Dr. Simon. When I called for an appointment none of what happened with the other calls happened. I was asked by the staff when would I like to be seen. I got an appointment in two days. When I asked about insurance I was told that they would assist me in submitting my claim. Wow, I was impressed!

When I met Dr. Simon it felt like I have known him for ever. I have a hard time trusting people but Dr. Simon makes it so easy to talk it was like talking to an old friend. He told me I was not broken and that I will get relief very quickly and he was correct.

Please do not search for a doctor, just pick up your phone and call Dr. Simon. You will not be disappointed.
Real Patient

Dr. Simon is the best doctor I could have ever asked for. Not only does he help me, but he truly cares. He also listens, he listens to what you have to say.

I highly recommend Dr. Simon for anyone who is seeking help to get better.

My first day here the office was under re-model. Dr. Simon was getting moved into the office when I came in. After my evaluation, I knew this was the place for me, there was no fancy waiting room with a flat-screen TV, no flashy things to catch your eye or pull you in. Only caring, very helpful staff.

It was the people here who sold me Dr. Simon, as he is a very down to earth, caring doctor. Which anyone in a tough scenario like mine can appreciate. They are very professional and take pride in what they do. The road to recovery can be long and hard, here you don't feel alone. They have helped me in anyway possible. Very knowledgeable doctor, very affordable. Dr. Simon helped me get my life back, he can help you too. I have and would recommend Dr. Simon to anyone! And the new waiting room is awesome!
