Why is this doctor not rated?

Close

To ensure the accuracy of our patient satisfaction scores, we require that providers who see patients receive a minimum number of completed patient-submitted surveys before their reviews are listed on their profiles. Star ratings on this site are collected on a rolling basis from the previous 12 months.
Additionally, some of the physicians listed on our site do not see patients directly, and therefore, do not receive evaluation and ratings from patients.

@DrMalSimons (Malorie Simons). Here is the #IBDAlgorithm for this week's

@MondayNightIBD: Diet and IBD. It includes key points, brief synopses of each diet and evidence. Bottom line: diet + medical Rx are crucial for IBD. More research needed and pending! Stay tuned! @DCharabaty @BarbaraOlendzki.  Twitter, 25 Jan. 2020, https://twitter.com/DrMalSimons/status/1221148686492762112

@DrMalSimons (Malorie Simons). Proposed #IBDAlgorithm re med

Rx/#CRSurgery/#InterventionalEndo for strictures in #IBD! #PatientExperience poll: if surg was rec'd, 50% prefer it/50% against. For each Rx, many felt a realistic discussion was needed re expectations. Great @MondayNightIBD! @juliomayol @DCharabaty.

@DrMalSimons (Malorie Simons). Is age just a number?~1/3 of patients with IBD are >60 y/o.  Remember to r/o cancer or infection, balance risk/benefits of treatments, share decision making b/w pt/caregivers/PCP/specialists! Great discussion! #MondayNightIBD @FITWITMD @DCharabaty  #IBDAlgorithm. Twitter, 13 Dec. 2019, https://twitter.com/DrMalSimons/status/1205515904949161984

@DrMalSimons (Malorie Simons). Proposed #IBDAlgorithm of when/how to de-escalate combo therapy! Remember: de-escalation is not a perfect science.
