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.

Knowledgeable and kind
All staff are professional, yet personable and jovial

Amazing Doctor and Friendly Guy
Dr Zimmermann is an amazing doctor. He listens and answers any question I may about my yearly check up. I've been going to see this man for years as my gp and I can honestly say he is the best gp I've ever had! Any specialist he's recommended has turned out great, I can tell that this man truly cares about his job and patients. This is a man you can trust!

Great doctor
He listens to you before advising how to adjust meds to help you. Knows your medical history in depth so recommendations are spot on. If I need to be sent to a specialist, he has always sent me to very good ones. Normally, he fully covers all my health concerns without having to go elsewhere. Recommend him highly.
