Patient Reviews
Jul 12, 2024
Dr. Zimmer is, without a doubt, the most devoted and caring Dr that I have ever had. I had complications with my surgery which required additional surgery and he was right there through that emergency situation to handle it himself as soon as the test results were known which required him going back and forth from his office. This situation required a lengthy hospital stay and he was there everyday to check on me and analyze my treatment. When test results reflected negative news, he always told me himself even when it meant him coming back to the hospital after going home for the day. I am 100% healthy today and truly believe Dr. Zimmer saved my life!
