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.

Dr. Zimmerman was the first endocrinologist I had after being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes as a child in 1997, and I am very honored to have had him oversee my care. He always made it a priority to ensure that his patients felt very comfortable, and provided wonderful ideas and insight into my care in a way that was fun and tend interactive. His finger puppets were the best! I wouldn't recommend any other pediatric endocrinologist, Dr. Zimmerman is truly the best!

Absolutely the best, I don't even know where to start. Dr Zimmerman has made a huge difference in the quality of life my daughter now has, after being diagnosed with Graves Disease. There is no one out there with the level of experience, knowledge and professionalism other than Dr Zimmerman, I appreciate him at all levels, he is a phenomenal human being as well.

My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with Graves Disease a couple of years ago. We saw a previous doctor before meeting with Dr. Zimmerman. We are so grateful to now be in his care. Dr. Zimmerman has many years of experience and the knowledge to help us make informed decisions on the treatment options regarding her diagnosis. He is very friendly and does an amazing Donald Duck impersonation! Wonderful doctor!
