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.

Beware of Dr. Z
Had heart irrethmia June 2021, Scheduled a 12pm visit with Doc. Aft 2 waiting hours doc came in and said I can't see you today and left. Next Morn was in ER as heart stat. Could have died. Ended up with Pacemaker. Follow up one year later with doc he was late, rushed, no hello and changed pacemaker settings without even listening to my concerns. When questioned he became confrentational. rude, arrogant, Worst experience ever. I followed up with a professional who was a good listener, a gentleman, caring and skilled who reset my pacemaker as the made changes were unnecessary and incorrect. There is much more to the story for a later date. Beware. Worst ever !!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely dreadful. I had two ablations with Dr. Zimmerman and I can honestly say I have never met a more rude, condescending, socially awkward doctor in my life. My first procedure was a nightmare, and I still have pain in my groin to this day. I went back for a second procedure with great hesitation, but I was hoping he'd have a better understanding and more success a second time. He didn't. Do yourself a favor, and avoid this man. Anyone who says they actually enjoyed talking to him is a synthetic humanoid incapable of genuine human emotion.

I have had both the pleasure of having John Zimmerman as my physician for over 20 years and watching my wife work with him in a nurse/Doctor collaboration. He is caring and always a professional. Last year he performed a A-Fib ablation that became more complicated due to other co-existing factors. It necessitated a longer hospitalization, but ultimately one year later I am doing fine and have had no reoccurrence of A-Fib. He is an amazing clinician and would recommend highly!

I would recommend Dr. Zimmerman to anyone because he is always aware of the ongoing circumstances of my condition, and his staff is always kind and courteous.
