Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

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.

My visit with Dr Zimmerman
I arrived early, and was quickly taken off a side office to have my information reviewed and verified. From this point I waited a couple of minutes and was promptly taken back to the office, where Dr Zimmerman quickly came in and reviewed my issues. After a brief discussion it was decided I could benefit from a steroid injection, which was done promptly.

Great Listener
I met with Dr. Zimmerman for the first time. I explained what I thought was the issue with my thumb and the steps I had taken, including seeing another hand specialist. He explained options to me (pros and cons), and I now have a game plan. I feel so much better after seeing him!

Successful challenging surgery
Dr Zimmerman, his surgical team and office support team have made possible my good recovery from a very bad accident. I give them 5 out of 5, or 4.5 with the left hand. You all were wonderful.

Highly Recommend
Dr. Ryan Zimmerman completed my hand surgery in June 2024. The surgery was a great success. His post op care has been excellent. I am moving in the right direction thanks to his surgical expertise and professional care. Years of hand pain is behind me. I only wish I had seen Dr. Zimmerman sooner

If only every physician was like Dr. Zimmermman
If I could honestly rate Dr. Zimmerman and the staff, I would give them far more than five stars. Everything there worked like clockwork and every single staff member treated me with kindness, compassion, and confidence that I was in the best hands ever! Dr. Zimmerman was compassionate, and a great listener, and gave me options as to what to do about my hand arthritis! I’m so relieved to have found him!!!

Dr. Zimmerman was very friendly and caring. He sent me for an X-ray and gave me a cordizone shot for my pain and a prescription for an MRI if I don’t feel better in two weeks. I was very satisfied with this visit.

Consult with Dr. Ryan Zimmerman
Dr. Ryan Zimmerman is awesome with his patients. I had a procedure in the past with Dr. Zimmerman and did not hesitate to schedule an appointment with him for this unrelated ailment. He is easy to talk to and listens to the patient and provided a course of action to improve my condition. I highly recommend Dr. Zimmerman.
