Through out 78 years of life I have visited 6family Doctors, Doctor Zimmerman is 100 times above the best of the other 5. Change all of the 5 stars to ten stars and you have Dr.Zimmerman. He listens with concern like no other one listens. I offer these comments from the bottom of my heart.

Dr Zimmerman has been our family doctor since we moved to the area. He is extremely professional and friendly. We have been very pleased by his thoroughness and willingness to refer to specialists when needed. When referred to specialists we have always been pleased with that Dr as well. Would recommend Dr Zimmerman without hesitation.

Dr Zimmerman and I have always had a good relationship (for at least 8 years). I have seen his nurse practioners and have never had a problem with them, but most of my appointments are with Dr Zimmerman. I'm always surprised that he remembers bits of information from previous visits since I hardly remembering telling him.
