Dr. Zimmerman has been the most professional Doctor I've had experienced with the OSG group. He is informative, compassionate to his patients needs not the insurance companies needs, gives out every option available and explain his with his expert opinion what he feels is a proper plan of treatment but ask your input every step of the way. I would've left OSG for another group if it wasn't for this Dr and mind the fact that I am being seen by multiple Drs in OSG at this time. I will definately continue to receive treatment by this Dr and recommend him fully to everyone I know, Thanks again Dr Z.

Dr. Zimmerman is an exceptional doctor. As a patient with numerous spinal problems I found him to be highly professional, reassuring, and very thorough. I was most impressed with his level of expertise, observant demeanor, and overall quality of curative measures he offered. Dr. Zimmerman correctly diagnosed my condition and took time to explain possible therapeutic and surgical options. I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Zimmerman and will forever be grateful.

Dr. Zimmerman is a skilled brain surgeon with compassion for his patients. He was able to quickly resolve several complication due to past medical issues. I would not allow anyone else to operate on me or my family

I am a colleague and patient of Dr Zimmerman. He is universally known as very conservative neurosurgeon with skills beyond the norm or expected. I would recommend him highly. As a fellow doctor, my comments should weigh heavily.

Dr. Gary Zimmerman is an outstanding doctor that saved my husbands life. He is extremely professional and most importantly a human being who's sole interest is helping other human beings. Dr. Zimmerman's reputation at Bridgeport Hospital and throughout CT is exceptional. Wonderful doctor!

It's a sad day when a doctor only thinks about a patient as a cash-cow. All this guy knows is how to cut you open. He is clueless when it comes to options. Go to see him for diagnosis, he immediately wants to schedule surgery. He even went so far as to bypass the insurance company to justify his plan to schedule surgery. If you want to under the knife see this doctor. He will find a way to lie around MRI, CT Scan and x-rays in order to get a piece of your pie. Even if he was the best in the business, I would not trust him with my life.
