Patient Reviews
Sep 27, 2024
Dr. Zimmer performed a shoulder surgery quite a few years ago. He was great, the surgery went great and my recovery was also good. Now I am back again for the other shoulder. I trust him completely. I don't feel pressured to have surgery, but he has explained everything to me so that I could understand. I have found in the past the a lot of specialists don't really talk to their patients or explain things, but this is definitely not the case with Dr. Zimmer.
