Have been with Dr Zimmerman since 2007, I believe. He has guided me on my arthritis journey with compassion, understanding and professionalism. During this time I have sought help with the Unic Varsity of Minnesota, the Mayo Clinic I. Rochester, Mn, surgeons and other doctors, but always came back to Dr Zimmerman. I am certain I received the best care and advice possible. Thank you Dr Zimmerman

I have seen multiple doctors for my chronic conditions for over 24 years, and with Dr. Zimmerman for the last 12. With every visit, he has listened to my concerns patiently with respect. He could have just brushed me off since there is no cure or established effective treatment. I have been privileged to be one of his patients and highly recommend him.
