My son is 5 I have been going there since he was born. and my older step son is 15 been going there since he was 8. Rooms were beautiful and the STAFF was great! Dr. Simmons and I never got a long do to her lack of bed-side manors. but her office was so comfortable and the other doctors so great I always loved going there! Sadly first to leave was Dr.Levingston, then Dr.Haines, than Dr.McCuyen, then Dr. Lee, now Dr.Carrol-Grims. Something is fishy that a practice that looses 5 AWESOME doctors like that. Now they have cut back on their staff, no more Meagan, Kathy, and worst of all SERENA! .... With all the leavings I not willing to let my sons health be in jeopardy and I have switched pediatricians. Also have to boys and her refusal to fire a male MD would have made it difficult to bring my sons there when they were older anyway.

Bad: I have been sending my 2 1/2 year old son here for a little less than 2 years. The practice has gone downhill since Dr. Levinson & Haines left. 3 times they have not returned my phone calls when my son was sick, and one time he ended up in Hasbro ICU for a day and a half because of a misdiagnosis on their part. I will not be recommending them to anyone!.

My son now 20(now has adult doctor) and daughter 11 have been going to her since the beginning. I have always been able to get a same day sick visit. They always call back even in the middle of the night when needed. They follow through in the hospital with phone calls for emergency. I like the yearly physicals. She is personable and very professional even with teenage boys. That's a tall order. He felt comfortable with a woman doctor. After over 10 years I don't have a single bad thing to say.

We have been seeing Dr Roxanne Simmons for nearly 2 years now. She is an excellent doctor. She is patient, friendly and kind. She takes her time explaining everything about the visit and welcomes questions from new parents. I never feel rushed when I am at Children's First. Its nice what we are not just "another" patient, Dr. Simmons makes you feel like you are 'family" Caryn S.

Dr. Simmons is one of the best doctors in northern RI. One of the things that I like best about her practice is that if you call because your child is sick, you will usually get in to see the doctor that day. The practice is very good about you calling back if you have a question. Every procedure is explained to you in a manner which you can understand. If your child is hospitalized, someone from the practice sees your child every day. Absolutely the best Pediatric practice out there.
