About Me:

Dr. Simpson earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Oregon State University followed by a Doctor of Pharmacy degree with honors from Oregon State University/OHSU and finally a medical degree with honors from OHSU. He completed his internal medicine training at the University of California, San Francisco before returning to OHSU to complete fellowships in cardiovascular medicine and interventional cardiology. Dr. Simpson brings expertise in management of coronary artery disease with focus on complex and high-risk coronary interventions. His skillset includes management of chronic total occlusions (CTOs), use of temporary mechanical circulatory support when indicated, and low/ultralow contrast coronary interventions for patients with renal dysfunction. When Dr. Simpson is not caring for patients, he can be found spending time with his family, which includes his wife, daughter, and dog. Together, they enjoy skiing, gardening, golfing, and exploring the outstanding local food scene.

Was very impressed with Dr. Simpson. He demonstrated indepth knowledge of my medical Hx, including MRI's, Echo's and X-rays. I liked that after talking for awhile we had a plan in place.

I had to wait 45 minutes to see my provider but it was understandable, because he was in surgery. He and staff were kind and competent.

I have felt unheard and dismissed by many doctors on this health concern and at this visit with Dr Simpson, I finally felt heard and understood and I felt for the first time like a doctor believed me about symptoms I've had for years.

Seemed to take an unusually long time (several months) to get an appointment with Dr, Simpson when Dr, Reddy left.

Dr Simpson is a rock star! Absolutely amazing. He was extremely patient and answered all of my questions, backed up by data and evidence based research. He put all my concerns at ease and outlined a solid plan moving forward to prevent another medical event. I wish the approval scale went above 10, because 10 just isn't high enough of a rating for Dr Simpson.

Doctor Simpson asked relevant questions and answered any questions and concerns I had in a very respectful way and taught me about my health issue.

This was my first visit with Dr. Simpson. He and Elizabeth, his assistant, were both AMAZING in how well they communicated with me what was going on with my heart and how we were going to remedy the current problem,. Both of them made me completely at ease, and I left feeling fully informed and optimistic about my future. They are a rock star team for sure!!!!!

Good listener and explainer. Was patient, kind, thoughtful and logical.

  Jan 15, 2024
The nurse or assistant was in a huge hurry to do the ekg. She was very fast, non communicative, ripped off the stickers causing pain with one which I made a point that she know. It was very unpleasant.

Dr Simpson is wonderful! I'm so happy he's my cardiologist. I also found the ER staff to be superb and ditto for the followup hospital staff. Well done!

First time seeing Dr. Simpson. Explained things to me and listened to what I had to ask. He did not rush through my appointment.

I have requested an appointment since August. It should not take 3 months to see my cardiologist. The schedule needs to improve. Thank you
