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.

I have been going to see Dr. Zimmanck for nearly 40 years. I first went to see him at age 18 and will continue to - no question. He is the most comprehensive, kind, caring, logical and extremely proactive Doctor I have ever met. He is also a doctor to many in my family due to the excellent medical services he provides. His professional decision had saved my life and he saved my father's life as well with the two situations being extremely serious medical conditions/situations. He is a doctor that teaches interns as well and I would trust him with my life AGAIN and I am extremely particular. He is of course knowledgeable, logical, a good listener, very thorough and has a wonderful demeanor. He has made time for me when he has had a very busy schedule many times. I hope there is never a day where he makes a decision to retire as that will be a time that is very unfortunate for me as well as the rest of his patients.

Dr Zimmanck is always friendly and positive with me about my disease (Lung Cancer) He coordinates with my oncologist and radiation oncologist as needed for issues that arise with my care. He responds quickly to my messaging via my Advocate Aurora account.

Takes time. Asks questions to know you as a person, not just as a patient.

Unbelievably incapable doctor. Speechless about the job he does. Surprised he is is still practicing. He might be just taking chances.There should be no star at all for him, but it does not let you submin the review:(And HEALTHGRADES, please let people see and read all the reviews about the doctors you are posting, because there is no point of giving them....

Worst doctor ever. He misdiagnosed me which put me in a life-threatening condition. Not caring at all. I would give him negative stars if there was such an option.I would not recommend him if he was the last doctor on Earth.

I couldn't of asked for a better primary Dr. Dr Zimmanck truly cares about his patients. He takes the time out and listens. I was nervous switching Dr's but I'm truly blessed to have Dr. Zimmanck. He has the the heart of gold every Dr should have. Always has time for his patient's. You can tell he really enjoys helping people. He earns a A+ in my book. There has been plenty of times I have been an emotional wreck and he always has a way to making me feel better no matter what the situation is.
