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, has been excellent. She is very attentive. I will recommend her to my family and friends.

Dr. Zimmerman is a professional in the highest form in her field, yet she is also a human being in that she cares in her patients' needs. She is highly sensitive to the needs of her patients and is there 100% when she performs surgery. She is one of the best doctors at Stahl Eye Care and they have a pearl. I hope they cherish and respect what they have and understand that they have one of the most highly talented and competent doctors in the country! The best!

I've been a patient of Dr. Zimmerman for over 6 years, entirely from her previous practice, before coming here to Stahl Eyecare Experts. Our communication with each other is outstanding and I have complete conference in her ability to diagnose & treat my conditions expertly!

Very disappointed in Dr. Zimmerman. She was late, unprepared and had no idea how to support my eye concerns. She promised to check with another eye doctor and call me back in 2 days. It's been 2 weeks and she has never called. I've called Stahl back twice and still no resolution.
