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.

Very thorough and caring

3 month checkup
Dr. Zimmerman’s nurse drew my blood sample. With elusive veins, she has never failed to find them and do so with imperceptible discomfort. She is the best I’ve experienced. Dr. Zimmerman arrives promptly, ready to hear about any current aches and pains. He reviews medications and makes changes as needed. I trust his measured use of medications.

A doctor who listens
My visit with Dr. Zimmerman started on time with his pleasant and professional nurse who also drew blood for the tests I always need to make sure the medication is effective. The doctor then came into the examination room and we began chatting about my primary reason for the recurring visits and a recent new problem that developed. He made sure he covered the recurring issue and then began examining me some more about my new hip pain. He explained everything that he did and what he believes the cause of the pain plus a suggestion to see an orthopedist Dr. Zimmerman listened to what I had to say and we had a very good conversation. Listening is too often overlooked as part of the interaction with the patient. My thanks and kudos to him and his nurse.
