Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent personality knowledgeable experience respectful likeable e person.

I chose Dr. Zimmerman as my primary care physician based on his positive reviews, but I had the opposite experience, unfortunately. When he enters the exam room, he immediately starts talking over you and at 100 mph. He doesn't give you the chance to explain any of your symptoms and just jumps to conclusions with very little information. There's no way I could be successfully treated by a doctor who practices this way, so I eventually had to find a new one.

Dr. Zimmerman is very friendly, helpful and nice. Lori, his front desk person is very nice, attentive and efficient! They always get back to me immediately and get me the information I need. A small intimate setting!
