Dr. Christian George Zimmerman, MD

Lets just say negitave 100

After reading all the negative reviews I decided not to see him and would also like to request others to avoid such rude and arrogant doctors. It is time we should show these doctors the power of people through reviews.

I have an update on a poor review I left for Dr. Zimmerman several months ago. I recently saw a neurologist in Switzerland that examined the fusion in my neck with imaging and I was diagnosed with failed neck syndrome (not due to a bad surgery at all) This doctor said the fusion looks great, my body just wasn’t accepting it for whatever reason. I tried taking the poor review down but it won’t let me so this review I will leave 5 stars. Once again I want to say his work is great, it is my body that is the problem apparently.

I had my c5/6 fused with hardware and never received Physical Therapy and now my hands and shoulders are weaker and more numb than ever before and the pain is as bad as it has ever been. I am seeing a new doctor now. Dr. Zimmerman also did my L4/5 microdiskectomy, diskectomy, laminectomy, foramenotomy. This latest surgery was so bad that I never went back to his office and when I decided to give them another crack at learning how to treat a patient with respect they filed a false police report stating that I threatened them. I had two officers come to my home and very nicely and eloquently let me know that his office has requested that I be notified that I cannot "trespass" onto his office location. pretty low blow. More to come later. lots of negatives I don't know how this office is still relevant. US News needs to take a closer look at this guy, top 100 I think not. Lowlife in my personal opinion.

After my 1st Surgery by him my Body was fine. But the Pain was still bad so he went In Again. Which not only did it not take my Pain away it is about 5xs Worse, and if that wasn’t Enough he some how messed up my Stomach Muscles. I have never ever had any belly Before these Surgeries I have always been Proud maybe a little vain but that is me keeping in Shape. Wearing my Bikini that is out of the Question. I can’t even stand looking in the Mirror any more. I have always been happy to look in the mirror before. I believe He should Pay for My Stomach surgery as it is him that messed me up.??????????????

Several times have called to ask questions or set up services but not returned for days. Services are to be set up examples include not referring for CT scans or medication

I had very extensive neck surgery in November 2016. Was told recovery could be up to a year to feel better however it is now September 2017 and I have been getting stronger each month. Dr. Zimmerman is an excellent surgeon. I highly recommend him for any neck or back surgery. As with most surgeons he may seem abrupt but he just gets to the facts, tries very hard to make you completely understand what he intends to do for you. His PA is also very helpful and will take the time to explain everything to you. Once the Dr. comes in he will show you your scans, MRI and explain why you need the surgery and exactly what procedures he plans to perform. We are all very nervous and don't always hear everything he says, bring a support person with you as it really is helpful. I actually had two consultations with him which really calmed my nerves and made me very comfortable with Dr. Zimmerman. I can't say enough good things about he and his nurses.

Dr. Zimmerman preserved, in the very small window afforded him....the very best to be expected quality of life that I have left, due to the severity of my condition.

When doctor was delayed staff kept those waiting updated regularly.

My consult with dr. Zimmerman he told me he was doing a certain procedure but when I checked in the hospital it was an entirely different procedure and I found out I was getting a Bad season which put me in a wheelchair for 3 years he has no business doing business that way I can get my surgery
