Patient Reviews
May 24, 2024
I came into the hospital from a serve car crash and needed emergent surgery. Zimmerman pro-formed a successful double spinal fusion on me. He visited daily to check back and had great bedside manner. He is extremely knowledgeable and very skilled surgeon. Because of him I’m able to live a full life with little restraints.
